The certificates issued by the certification body are not subject to independent verification by the industry. 

Part evaluation by accredited contractors or test laboratory provides independent verification which can substitute for your own receiving inspection, providing you maintain control over the contractor. 

The EC type-examination is the process that the manufacturer may use to obtain independent verification that a design conforms to essential requirements, when a certified QA system has not been applied to the design process. The manufacturer must submit an application to the notified body, accompanied by documentation on the device design and physical samples of the device. The Notified Body examines the... 

The issue of data reproducibility had been the previous focus of the AOAC Official Methods Program. The TDRM will assist AOAC in responding to an expanded scope of it mission to include statements of accuracy with AOAC methods. This extra step requires independent verification of the accuracy of measurements generated by the method. Accuracy of an analytical method must be verified at three separate points ... 

Brandt [200] has extracted tri(nonylphenyl) phosphite (TNPP) from a styrene-butadiene polymer using iso-octane. Brown [211] has reported US extraction of acrylic acid monomer from polyacrylates. Ultrasonication was also shown to be a fast and efficient extraction method for organophosphate ester flame retardants and plasticisers [212]. Greenpeace [213] has recently reported the concentration of phthalate esters in 72 toys (mostly made in China) using shaking and sonication extraction methods. Extraction and analytical procedures were carefully quality controlled. QC procedures and acceptance criteria were based on USEPA method 606 for the analysis of phthalates in water samples [214]. Extraction efficiency was tested by spiking blank matrix and by standard addition to phthalate-containing samples. For removal of fatty acids from the surface of EVA pellets a lmin ultrasonic bath treatment in isopropanol is sufficient [215]. It has been noticed that the experimental ultrasonic extraction conditions are often ill defined and do not allow independent verification.

Because of rapid advances in the medical sciences, in particular, independent verification of diagnoses and drug dosages should be made. 

As another example, increased reliance on the control activities of national systems is being considered, with the potential for serious departure from the requirement of independent verification In their place, it is suggested that the Agency s new rights will allow it to accomplish the same purpose as classical safeguards, through increased investigation when... 

Effective safeguards, which require completeness and independent verification, are essential to maintenance of a climate of confidence in nonproliferation which allow nuclear power and international nuclear trade to take place.
