Define the destination
Identify the country, state or territory, intended building or plumbing application, and the parties who will rely on certification.
Local knowledge. International service.
Supplying Australia or New Zealand?
CSi works with international manufacturers and suppliers seeking to understand certification evidence for Australian and New Zealand markets.
Plan before you test
Start with the intended use and market.
A product standard alone may not establish regulatory suitability. Product classification, intended use, installation conditions, jurisdiction and the selected compliance pathway can affect the required evidence.
Map the evidence
Provide drawings, model lists, materials, installation instructions, existing reports and the standards or specifications already considered.
Assess manufacturing controls
Certification may require assessment of the manufacturing location and controls supporting consistent production, in addition to product testing.
Prepare usable documentation
Technical evidence must be clear, traceable and suitable for review. CSi may require reliable English-language documentation or translations.
Information to have ready
Make the first review productive.
Incomplete or inconsistent product information can delay application review, sampling, testing and certification.
