How does CPC from SGS work?

Our robust framework monitors the activities of CPC, which embedded a series of stringent processes – from initial review of your product, to Stage 1 and Stage 2 on-site assessments and the initial type test.

Evaluation results from the on-site assessment and type test report are reviewed by independent technical reviewer(s) and the certification decision maker.

Initial type testing, in general, is carried out by an ISO 17025 accredited testing laboratory to a range of testing standards based on product certification requirements, including:

ISO standards
British European (BS EN) standards
North America Standards (including UL, ANSI, NFPA)
Other international, national, local or industrial standards
