What does certification mean?

Certification means QAI has evaluated a representative product to determine compliance with the standard referenced on the certification label. QAI permits our client to use the QAI certification mark after the client has demonstrated through a factory inspection that they have the capability of manufacturing a consistent product and have a quality control system in place which, if followed, would result in a compliant product. QAI performs routine factory inspections to validate that the manufacturer continues to maintain a quality system that has the ability to produce a product that is consistent with the original product that was evaluated by QAI.

The use of a certification label is the manufacturer’s representation that it has followed the process that was reviewed by QAI in manufacturing the product and that the product remains compliant with the relevant standard. It is not a representation by QAI that the specific product bearing the label actually conforms to the applicable standard.

The authority having jurisdiction will typically accept a product that bears the certification mark of an accredited certification body; however, the authority is not bound to accept certification labels and retains authority over acceptance of the product. QAI makes no representation or warranty that any regulatory authority will accept its certification.
