The Three Main Stages of IECQ Certification

The Three Main Services of IECQ Certification

I. The Three Main Services of IECQ Certification:

There are three main services of IECQ certification. The first service is circular economy services including the carbon footprint of product (CFP) verification, environmentally conscious design (ECD) approval and hazardous substance process management (HSPM) approval. The second services is supply chain services including the manufacturer approval (MA), distributor approval (DA), specialist contractor approval (SA), counterfeit avoidance program (CAP) approval, electrostatic discharge (ESD) approval, important to nuclear safety (ITNS) approval, information security management system (ISMS) approval and aerospace defense and high performance (ADHP) approval. While the third service is component product services including the qualification approval (QA), capability approval (CA), technology approval (TA), automotive qualification program (AQP) approval, light emitting diode (LED) lighting approval, internet of things (IoT) approval and independent testing laboratory (ITL) approval. The certification service and its corresponding certification standard is listed as below：
