The evaluation of materials submitted and certification visits will be carried out by

GlobeCert AB.

The evaluation process will be documented.

If this evaluation results in approval, an agreement will be signed with the manufacture,

Appendix 2.

The agreement will automatically apply for a year at a time, unless terminated by either party no

later than three months before the end of the calendar year.

A product certificate, will be issued stating that the internal control meets the requirements of

GlobeCert AB’s checklist in accordance with SS-EN ISO 9001:2008 and that the factory has

been added to the list of prestressing/reinforcing steel manufacturers with product certificates.

This certificate is valid for five years.

All certification documentation and information is subject to confidentiality, and will not be

issued to other parties without the permission of the applicant.

Obligation: GlobeCert AB is a completely independent company from the influence of any stakeholders and

impartiality in decision making.

If the results testing in connection to new certification not are in accordance to standard

requirements but certification on the other hand is approved, GlobeCert AB can issue a certificate

for the factory with the statues as provisional certification. The certificate is valid during max. 12

months. During that time the testing frequency must be doubled.

When certification of more steel grades, the producer shall declare witch external standardized

steel grades the internal steel grade (works standard specification) contains.

Based on the factories declaration GlobeCert AB will carry out samples for testing.

The sampling is also a base for that all dimensions will be carried out during a five years period

for testing at audits. When results from 6 months testing is presented, continuous audits will take

place. Evaluation of approval for certification is made based on results from the contiuous

If the manufacturer already has a certificate issued by an accredited certification body, the

certificate can be transferred across in two steps:

1. Provide details of GlobeCert AB’s regulations and standard requirements, request a

copy of the certificate, the quality manual and the reason for changing certification

body. All documentation from the most recent certification cycle, which must be at

least two years. Carry out a review of the documents provided and make a decision on

approval or rejection. Notify the company of the decision. Offer a control visit if

appropriate.

2. Check that the invoice has been paid, plan a control visit and issue a certificate which

matches the previous certificate in terms of product and time period.

5. REVIEWS

There are two types of review: certification and ongoing reviews.

Additional reviews may also be required. Any such reviews focus only on a specific area

where a problem has arisen. When carrying out any reviews, the auditor may issue comments

which the factory must remedy within the agreed time period.

Reviews are carried out by an auditor appointed by GlobeCert AB.

5.1 Certification

Certification is carried out by an auditor appointed by GlobeCert AB at the factory which has

applied for product certification for a specific product.

On certification, a check is carried out to ensure that all the right technical, staff and

administrative conditions exist for manufacturing prestressing/reinforcing steel of a consistent

and high quality, and that the right conditions exist for carrying out internal control in

accordance with the product standards applied for in Point 2.

When carrying out the review, the auditor will make reference to any deficiencies in the

quality system or internal control, and will ask the factory’s representative to remedy these as

soon as possible. Details of the problem (NCR´s) will be written on the comments form

(doc.2.3.3), along with an agreement on the timescale within which a response will be sent to

GlobeCert AB. All serious problem (NCR`s) must be off before the certificate is issued.

The certification results will be documented, Appendix 3, comprising checks of the quality

system and internal control.

After certification, the auditor will recommend to GlobeCert AB that product certification be

approved or rejected, making reference to the certification results.

GlobeCert AB retains the original version of the certification report, and sends a copy to the

quality representative at the factory which has been reviewed.

5.2 Continuous review

Ongoing reviews are carried out by the certification body:

twice a year or number of reviews described in standards at factories that have

received product certification

at least once a year for process certification regarding SS-EN/ISO 17660-1:2006

and 17660-2:2006

If the company is certified according to EN ISO 9001 the auditor shall control the validity of the

certificate and be documented on the checklist.

Advance notification will be given of these reviews.

The responsible operations manager or his/her deputy shall be present.

At these reviews, manufacture and journal records will be reviewed, along with the results of

internal control for the certified products/process.

The representative of the certification body shall have free access to all premises, logs, journals,

test reports and other documentation which may be relevant to carrying out the review.

The results of the ongoing review will be documented, Appendix 3.

Sampling shall be carried out from certified product and shall be tested internal or external at

accredited lab. according product standard. Regarding process standard the company is

controlled that testing has taken place in the frame of its FPC.

If the company has a certified quality system acc. to EN ISO 9001 the checklist, just only will be

used to fulfil the requirements in the certified product/process standard.

The continuous review will the normal case not cover all areas included in the check list.

However, all areas included in the check list must be reviewed during the two annual reviews.

When carrying out the review, the auditor will make reference to any deficiencies in the quality

system or FPC, and will ask the factory’s representative to remedy these. Details of the NCR´s

will be written on the comments form (doc.2.3.3), along with an agreement on the timescale

within which a response will be sent to GlobeCert AB of the corrective actions taken. Minor

NCR´s shall be corrected before next coming review. Major NCR´s corrective actions must be

sent to GlobeCert AB within 1 month.

This corrective action will be sent to GlobeCert AB within the agreed time following the review.

The auditor follows up to check that all comments have been remedied according to plan when

carrying out the next inspection, unless these comments are so serious that GlobeCert AB deems

a specific inspection to be necessary.

At Major Non-conformities or serious non-compliances, the auditor will recommend that

GlobeCert AB continues or ceases certification, making reference to the results of the ongoing

review.
