ISO 17712 Certification in Mumbai

Listing ID #6580944

CDG is an ISO 17020-accredited inspection agency & ISO 17025-accredited testing laboratory for ISO 17712 testing & certification.

What is new in ISO 17712:2013?

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 manufacturer’s 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 manufacturer’s 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 manufacturer’s 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.

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  

high-security seal-seal that is constructed and manufactured of material such as metal or metal cable with the intent to delay intrusion. High-security seals can generally be removed with substantial bolt cutters or cable cutters.  

security seal-seal that is constructed and manufactured of material that provides limited resistance to intrusion and requires lightweight tools for removal  

indicative seal-seal that is constructed and manufactured of material that can easily be broken by hand or by using a simple snipping tool or shear  

Manufacturer-company or entity that either owns the seal-producing factory or contracts to buy made-to-order seals for resale from a third-party factory.

Scope  

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.  

NOTE 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.
