Product conformance issues are becoming increasingly mandated by regulators or expected by consumers. Point of sale legislations in some states or countries require that products be tested, and certified before they can be offered to the market, or connected to a network or infrastructure.
CodeMark™ certification available for products needed to comply with the BCA. CodeMark™ certification is delivered by an independent organization and is based on a (or a number of) test report(s) issues by an Approved Laboratory. The on-going factory/site surveillance activities allow an on-going monitoring of design change or competence changes, and provide the manufacturer or supplier the ability to continue to evolve the design of the product.
The CodeMark™ scheme rules require the certification body to develop product evaluation plans that take into consideration the likelihood and consequence of any potential problems associated with the manufacturing and installation of a product.
The evaluation also needs to confirm that:
> There is acceptable evidence to demonstrate that the product satisfies all technical requirements.
> The applicant is able to demonstrate continuing control over the manufacture, testing, packaging, branding, delivery, installation and commissioning to the extent that is appropriate to the product.
> The installation instructions are sufficient to enable competent installation by the intended installers.
