Consignment Based Conformity Assessment CBCA Services Servizi d Valutazione di Conformità PREMESSA

• Enti nazionali di standardizzazione e normazione finalizzati alla tutela dei propri cittadini e consumatori • Paesi senza infrastrutture adeguate • Richiesti per finanziamento WB e IMF • Partner privati in grado di assistere governi con programmi finalizzati a: 1. Proteggere i consumatori da prodotti pericolosi, sotto- standards o contraffatti; 2. Proteggere l’ambiente 3. Proteggere l’industria locale da concorrenza sleale attraverso prodotti 4. Facilitare l’importazione evitando lunghe procedure di controllo a destino

CBCA - Consignment Based Conformity Assessment - processo che verifica e garantisce la conformità di un prodotto a determinati standard / normative di riferimento;

Programmi CBCA - insieme di regole e procedure adottate da un governo e dal corrispondente ente normatore per ottenere gli scopi del CBCA

Standards & Norme tecniche – requisiti del singolo prodotto. Possono essere nazionali o internazionali. Le Norme tecniche sono generalmente più direttamente riferite alla sicurezza e alla tutela ambientale

Documentazione di Conformità – test report, certificati, rapporti di analisi . Sono documenti emessi da enti terzi a dimostrazione delle caratteristiche e della qualità del prodotto

Ente Terzo o Recognized Body – può trattarsi di 1. Ente membro ILAC o IAF secondo il proprio standard di riferimento: a) ISO 17025 per laboratori ; b) ISO 17020 per enti ispettivi 2. Laboratorio appartenente a un membro IFIA 3. Laboratorio interno di un’azienda produttrice se accreditata ISO 9001 o sistema di qualità di pari livello. Tali test interni sono accettabili se condotti con apparecchi dotati di record per calibratura e manutenzione Registrazione – processo che dimostra che un determinato prodotto è stato sottoposto ai test necessari a comprovarne la conformità ai relativi standard di riferimento Licenza – processo che oltre alla registrazione prevede un audit aziendale, annuale, sulle procedure di controllo qualità adottate

Documenti finali – pacchetto dei documenti relativi alla spedizione del prodotto (fattura finale, packing list, polizza di carico, certificato d’origine…)

3. PRODUCT INFORMATION

3.1 Regulated Products

The Regulated Products have been classified into (2) classes:

• Process Manufactured Products: These products are characterized by susceptibility to change in their final nature as a result of probable changes in the nature of the raw materials used and the manufacturing process controls, whereby production is organized in batches. As such, these products are classified as high risk products requiring frequent verification of conformity.

• Non-Process Manufactured Products: These products are characterized by low probability of change in the nature of the final product in comparison with a ‘typical’ sample of that product, thereby allowing for low frequency of testing for verification of conformity
