product certification agreement between the manufacturer of a product and an public organization that possesses recognized standing and/or accreditation by a recognized government entity for both testing and certification,Legal evidence that the product was successfully tested in accordance with a nationally accredited
standard,Legal assurance the accredited certification organization has ensured that the item that was successfully tested, is identical to that which is being offered for sale,Legal assurance that the successful test has resulted in a
certification listing, which is considered public information, which sets out the tolerances and conditions of use for the certified product, to enable
bounding, and thus compliance with the
law,Legal assurance that the manufacturer is being regularly
audited by the certification organisation, at unannounced intervals, to ensure the maintenance of the original process standard that was employed in the manufacture of the test specimen that passed the test, and that if the manufacturer should fail an audit, all
product certification, including labels of stock on hand, on construction sites, with end-user customers and on distributor store shelves, shall be immediately removed, and all stakeholders will be informed that the de-listed
product certification is no longer eligible for use in bounding.
