DECLARATIONS /
REPORT EVALUATION

FOREIGN TEST REPORTS
We are able to evaluate reports from other Accredited test laboratories and issue IEC reports.
We can issue declaration reports regarding Model and / or Trade Name changes.
We can assist in obtaining letter of authority (L.O.A)


THE PROCESS FOR DECLARATIONS AND EVALUATIONS

o A copy of the original IEC test report and sample must be submitted to TEST AFRICA for inspection of components and comparison to the original sample.

o A declaration report will be issued if the new sample and the original sample have the same components and construction.

o Any differences between the components of the original sample and the new sample will have to be verified by testing the clauses of the specification affected by the changes. The testing of these clauses will be billed at an hourly rate, a quotation for this testing will be supplied before any testing is started.

o A test report covering the partial testing of the sample will be issued with a declaration report and will be submitted with an application form to the SABS for a LETTER OF AUTHORITY (L.O. A.).

o The client will be contacted as soon as the L.O.A. has been issued, to collect the documentation from TEST AFRICA or alternatively the documentation can be expressed to the client as arranged. 

CE FILES AND MARKING

o It's a requirement of the European New Approach directives.

o The application of this mark to a product requires an understanding of all the directives concerned.

o The mark is for regulatory use and since it is a declaration by the manufacturer of his representative within the European Community, does not imply any form of third party verification of the product.

o TEST AFRICA tests products to the specifications required by the various European Directives, and can assist the Manufacturer to compile the necessary documentation to prove compliance, including the Declaration of Conformity and Technical file. We can assist you to apply the CE Mark with confidence.
