Product Certification

 

One of the established means of bringing the advantage of standardization within the reach of the common consumer is through a well-defined certification system. The certification of products is normally carried out on the basis of published Ethiopian Standards which have been found amenable to voluntary product certification. This service will be soon started by QSAE especially in areas where there is high consumer interest and some degree of competitive market environment in the country.

The certification schemes used by QSAE will generally be based on ISO/IEC Guide 28, General rules for a model third-party certification system for products, which provides generic rules for third-party certification system in relation to determining conformity with product standards.

The Quality Mark of QSAE is being redesigned to be more easily identifiable by the general public and simpler to use by industry. Comments [Click Here] on the draft Quality Mark shown in the figure below is most welcome.

addition, QSAE is also working vigorously in setting up the ground work for international accreditation of its product certification service to ISO/IEC Guide 65, General requirements for bodies operating product certification systems.

Establishing mutual/multilateral recognition arrangements with other national certification bodies to enable QSAE operate in areas where there is no Ethiopian Standard is one mechanism currently under consideration aimed at improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the system.
