Reading Certification Announcements
A certificate is only meaningful together with its scope.
Check these details
| Detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Standard and edition | Which requirement was tested |
| Scope | Which products and sites are covered |
| Issuing body | Recognition in your market |
| Validity | Issue and expiry dates |
| Conditions | Any limitations or exclusions |
Common misunderstandings
- A certificate for one model does not cover the whole family.
- Site certification does not automatically cover a new factory.
- Self-declaration is not the same as third-party certification.
Certification and declaration requirements differ by market. Confirm with the responsible authority.
