Process steps

An approved quotation is the beginning of a tested and an approved product. The most important steps are:

  • The result is a certificate upon which is mentioned to which requirements the product complies.
  • Product verification: the assessment performed after granting certification to determine that the certified products still comply with the requirements in the approval requirement.
  • Control on quality system requirements: control on following the IQC scheme (as described in the approval requirement) and the procedures.
