ISO 17712 Certification in Mumbai

Product Description

ISO International Organization for Standardization is the worlds largest developer of voluntary International Standards. A standard is a document that provides requirements, specifications, guidelines or characteristics that can be used consistently to ensure that materials, products, processes and services are fit for their purpose. ISO International Standards ensure that products and services are safe, reliable, and of good quality. The ISO 17712 establishes uniform procedures for the classification, acceptance, and withdrawal of mechanical freight container seals. It provides a single source of information on mechanical seals which are acceptable for securing freight containers in international commerce. ISO STANDARDS FOR SECURITY SEALS, The current ISO 17712 standard requires independent confirmation in three areas, Testing to determine a security seals physical strength as barriers to entry. ISO 17712 defines three types of classes of seal strength or barrier capacity I for Indicative, S for Security, and H for High Security. CTPAT requires the use of H class seals. Suppliers must use independent third party test laboratories to validate a seals classification. Labs must be accredited according to ISO IEC 17025 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories to perform testing specific to ISO 17712.Auditing of manufacturers security related business processes. Poor security related practices can undercut the effectiveness of a high quality security seal. ISO 17712s Annex A defines over two dozen required practices, such as facility risk assessments and access controls to production and storage areas. Suppliers conformance with Annex A should also be demonstrated through an independent certification provider that is accredited to audit compliance with the ISO standards. Seals be designed and constructed with tamper indicative features that generate tell tale evidence of tampering. Security Seal manufacturers must be able to demonstrate to, and obtain certification from, an accredited auditor from an independent third party organisation that their high security seals have built in tamper evidence features. If an independent third party organisation accredited to ISO 17020 verifies conformity, it will provide the manufacturer with a certificate of compliance that documents that the seals submitted for review do reflect tell tale evidence of tampering generated by attempts to defeat a correctly closed and affixed seal. The PAS Focused on The Physical Parameters of Three Classes or Levels of Seal Barrier Strength Indicative I, Security S, And High Security H. The Barrier Strength of a Seal Was and Still Is Measured with Four Tests, Impact, Shear, Bend and Tensile Strength. The Test Values That Distinguished Between I, S And H Classes Reflected Numbers in Use by Major Customs Authorities. The Quality of Seals Used in International Trade Improved as Trade Related Programs Encouraged or Required Use Of ISO Compliant H Seals. Two of The Earliest Programs Were the US Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism CTPAT And the World Customs Organizations Framework of Standards to Secure and Facilitate Global Trade.
