ISO 17712 Certification in Pune

Product Description

ISO 17712 2013 establishes uniform processes for the classification, receipt, and withdrawal of mechanical freight container seals. It offers a single source of information on mechanical seals which are satisfactory for securing freight containers in global commerce. Proof of tampering remains an essential area in the new edition, but there is a significant change in approach. The new edition addresses tampering via third party procedure inspections as part of the manufacturers ISO 9001 quality operational processes. ISO 17712 no longer needs third party laboratory testing against exact tamper related criteria. Instead, the necessity for tamper related quality processes include internally generated and managed tests of tamper proof as part of a manufacturers documented quality program like ISO 9001.A manufacturer may choose to conduct the tamper-evident testing in house or employ a third party laboratory. In any case the testing would be against the manufacturers test protocol and specification. Since Clause 6 has neither tamper evident test procedures nor a necessity for accredited testing, an outside lab cannot certify conformance with ISO 17712 Clause 6. A third party lab in such a condition basically provides a lab report to its client. Benefits of ISO 17712 2013 Expand safety, Extend correct collection of taxes and duties, Get better border protection, Important increase in inspection rate, Minimize corruption, Minimize container tampering and thefts, Facilitate trade, Speed up logistic processes. ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 17712 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 104, Freight containers. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 17712:2010), which has been technically revised. This International Standard 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. The purpose of mechanical seals is, as part of a security system, to determine whether a freight container has been tampered with, i.e. whether there has been unauthorized entry into the container through its doors. Seals can be effective only if seal users properly select, store, account for, apply, document, and attend to seals prior to use and in use; while these issues are not addressed in this International Standard, they are relevant to successful use of the seals covered by this International Standard. Seals that conform to this International Standard are suitable for other applications, such as bulk railcars or truck trailers used in cross-border and domestic operations. Users and regulatory agencies can apply this International Standard to other applications as they deem appropriate.
