Standard certificates

The Zond VD - 96 portable eddy-current flaw detector-tester is an original Russian development possessing heightened sensitivity for the surface defects and high inspection capacity. (Russia patent Xs 2063025. All-Union state standard certificate of Russian Federation JVa 2846 of 14. 07. 97)... 

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NIST is the source of many of the standards used in chemical and physical analyses in the United States and throughout the world. The standards prepared and distributed by the NIST are used to caUbrate measurement systems and to provide a central basis for uniformity and accuracy of measurement. At present, over 1200 Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) are available and are described by the NIST (15). Included are many steels, nonferrous alloys, high purity metals, primary standards for use in volumetric analysis, microchemical standards, clinical laboratory standards, biological material certified for trace elements, environmental standards, trace element standards, ion-activity standards (for pH and ion-selective electrodes), freezing and melting point standards, colorimetry standards, optical standards, radioactivity standards, particle-size standards, and density standards. Certificates are issued with the standard reference materials showing values for the parameters that have been determined. 

Isotope ratios are given as deviations, in relation to a defined primary standard (zero point). The polyethylene foils CH 7 and NBS 22-oil are commercially available secondary standards, certificated and managed by the International Atomic Energy Agency. However, GC-lRMS systems cannot be calibrated without the aid of alternative peripheries like an elemental analyser (EA) or a dual inlet, owing to the lack of commonly accepted reference materials applicable in GC-IRMS techniques (Fig. 17.11). 

I would work and cooperate on the development of a standard certification scheme for ChL. Further promotion of this concept through a global partnership between Akzo Nobel and UNIDO. 

The following applies to ISO 14001 and other environmental management standards Certification is not a must requirement for "Certified Chemical Leasing". However, TOY SLJD s criteria catalogues for Chemical Leasing also include key elements of the ISO 14001 standard. 

Step 4. Count each mounted filter with the same beta-particle detector as the samples in this experiment, Step 13, for 6,000 s. Calculate the counting efficiency, e, for 131I in Pdl2 by equation (10.1). Decay correction is for the interval between the time recorded on standard certificate and the time of counting.

Organic standards have to be developed around these challenges and the solutions provided by science and practical experience. To implement the necessary practices into the organic standards, certification agencies have to be established in the countries and inspectors have to be recruited locally. They must be educated so that the products are both produced in a locally sustainable manner and meeting the requirements of the organic movement. 

In addition, the lack of local certification bodies imposes significant constraints and risks to organic agriculture in Africa. They increase the costs of certified organic production, as certifiers have to be flown in. So far, only Tunisia has its own European-standard certification bodies (Parrot and van Elzakker, op. cit.). The costs of certification have to be seen as investment costs and hence risks, for if the investment costs are not amortised by the revenues, e.g. in the case of harvest failures or a sudden shortfall of market outlets, investments in certification are lost and hence the respective farmers are prone to a significant investment risk.

Accreditation Accreditation body Accreditation standard Certificate of accreditation Certification Certification body Compliance... 

In order to demonstrate its compliance with the standard a laboratory will normally apply to an external accreditation body or certification body for accreditation or certification against tbe standard. Certification involves confirmation that the quality management system in place in the laboratory is fully implemented and in compliance with the requirements of the standard. Accreditation, however, adds a further element and involves a peer review of the methods used by the laboratory to confirm that they are suitable for the purpose for which they are being offered. Certification involves checking that what is described in the quality manual is carried out, i.e. an external audit (see Section... 

In order to understand this system better, it is useful to distinguish between standards, certification, and labelling. 

Thus the European policies tackling standards, certification and labelling have been quite successful in overcoming the major difficulties in developing standards and have established an efficient certification system. Although in both areas, private systems exist in addition to the European system, the European system has become the point of reference — even for those interested in stricter systems.

The SRM must have a calibration certificate with key information an example is shown in Fig. 11.2. Standards certificates must be filed with the sample ID numbers they accompanied, and the calibrated instrument identifiers.
