TEST & CERTIFICATION

8 November 2011

2011/11/8



The Product Listing Scheme (PLS) is a third party broad-based product certification scheme where the safety andperformance of a product is assessed by type testing andsurveillance testing to specified standards (publishedinternational /national standards).

What is PLS?

8 November 2011


Benefits of PLS for QPs/Buyers/Regulators

8 November 2011

Quick and easy identification of products whichcomply with Recognized Standards.Ensure products are evaluated to LatestStandards with confidence

3rd party Independent, Impartial and Non Bias.

2011/11/8



Depends on

• Quality of DESIGN

• Quality of RAW MATERIAL

• Quality of PROCESSES

Quality of a Product

8 November 2011


• These products are required to conform to specific standardsspecified by regulatory bodies or buyers- not just once during type test but continually as long as theproduct remains in our certification

• Key to the quality and continual compliance of these products- TÜV SÜD PSB Product certification scheme - Product ListingScheme(PLS)

a Where applicable, the elements can be coupled with initial assessment and surveillance of the applicant’s quality system (an example is given in ISO/IEC Guide 53) or initial assessment ofthe production process. The order in which the assessments are performed may vary.

b A product certification system should be include at least the elements 2), 3) and 4).c An often used and well-tried model for a product certification system is described in ISO/IEC Guide 28; it is a product certification system corresponding to system 5.d For product certification systems related to specific products, the term “scheme” is used (see 3.2, Note 2).e Reference [16] mentions system 7 (batch testing) and system 8 (100 % testing). These may be considered product certification systems if at least the elements of system 1a are included.f See ISO/IEC 17000 for definitions.g In some systems, evaluation means determination, and in other systems it means review.

Product certification relies on evidence that isproduced in the determination function

The functional approach to conformity assessment can consistof the following functions:

SelectionDeterminationReview and decisionSurveillance

In product certification, various forms of determination can beused to produce evidence for the review and decision phase.These forms of determination include– testing– inspection– auditing


Product certification bodies must satisfy themselvesthat the determination activities have beenundertaken in a competent and reliable manner

Product certification bodies may undertake determination activitiesthemselves or subcontract these activitiesIn either case the applicable requirements of relevant standards shouldbe applied by the organisations undertaking the determination activitiesi.e.

Testing = ISO/IEC 17025Inspection = ISO/IEC 17020Auditing = ISO 19011 and ISO/IEC 17021
