Abstract

Product certifications are conformity assessments for items. In the testing for the product certification, the managerial and technical procedures are validated through another conformity assessment, the accreditation of the testing laboratory. The review for the accreditation is implemented once a few years. The digitalized history of the laboratory activities (e.g. the external and internal reviews, the training, and the calibrations) can be helpful to check the quality of the testing for individual product certifications. In this report, we discuss what data has to be assessed and how security mechanisms can be implemented.
