What requirements must the manufacturer meet in order to certify a product?
Step 1. The manufacturer must have a Quality Management System (QMS)
Step 2. They must implement the standards by which they desire to manufacture their products (ANSI).

Which is the manufacturer's certification process?
An auditor is sent to verify the QMS and manufacturing process of the product, going through all departments: Human Resources, Design, Purchase, Manufacture, Warehouse, etc. He takes a sample from our warehouse and from our clients, and sends them to an accredited laboratory to be tested under required standards. Results are ready and sent to the auditor. If the audit is favorable and the laboratory test is positive, the certifying entity issues a quality certificate known as a “Third Party Certificate”.
