06 / Certification request
Discuss the records needed for your product
Does a factory release certificate equal third-party certification?
No. A factory release certificate records the factory scope stated on that document. Independent certification requires a named third-party certificate or report with its own applicable scope.
What should be shared for a document review?
Share the item number, intended configuration, destination, required standard or buyer requirement, and target timing.
