You’ve researched and developed
the perfect product. Now it’s time for its market launch. But wait. Does it
come with proof that it meets the required building codes and standards? Don’t
let non-compliance delay your product release. Instead, include anISO/IEC Guide 65 or ISO/IEC 17065 accredited certification agency as
part of your product development plan.
When deciding on a
certification agency, here are some important questions to consider:
o What is
the scope of the requirements, standards and/or codes your product needs to
meet?
o Does the
certification agency have experience and accreditation with the codes and
standards that pertain to your product?
o Does the
certification agency have the flexibility to adapt and adjust to new and
innovative products through code interpretation and knowledge of standards?
o Is the
certification agency knowledgeable about and involved in your industry?
o Can the
certification agency be your one-stop resource for the testing, evaluation,
inspection and ongoing surveillance of your complete certification and quality
program?
The certification agency’s evaluation
report becomes a tool you can use to help market your product in the following
ways:
o Provide
building officials and construction professionals with clear evidence that your
product complies with standards and codes.
o Help
sell your product to the end user or person making the purchasing decisions.
o Help you
meet retailer requirements for hosting and selling your product.
