3.4.1.1 Evaluation of type testing results
Type testing report should be typed through the test body when the products pass the test.
The applicant may correct the products which have a few items failed to pass through the test if the products are easily corrective. The type testing report should be submitted by the test body when the products pass the test after the corrective action, or the certification shall be terminated.
3.4.1.2 Evaluation of the initial factory inspection
If there is no any non-conformity found during whole inspection, the inspection team submits suggestion about factory passing the inspection to certification body.
If there are slight non-conformities found, the manufacturer shall take corrective actions within 3 months. If the actions are regarded as effective by inspection team, the inspection team shall submit suggestion to certification body about factory passing the inspection.
If there are serious non-conformities found and/or the factory does not have the ability to produce the products, which conform to relevant standards, the inspection shall then be terminated.

The factory inspection reports should be submitted within 5 working days.
Evaluating certification results, approving the certification and preparing the certificates should normally be completed within 5 working days.
3.5 Follow-up inspection
3.5.1 The frequency of the follow up inspection
3.5.1.1 The follow up inspection shall be implemented at least once per year normally after getting the certificate for 12 months.
3.5.1.2 The frequency of inspection should be increased in any of the following cases when:
1)The certified product has serious quality problem, or is complained by clients, which has been verified to be the responsibility of the certificate holder.

The samples for testing shall be random sampling from the conformity products of the factory (including production lines, storerooms and markets). The quantities of the sampling test are according to appendix 1.
2) Testing
Sampling test should be implemented by the certification body pointed and authorized test body, should not entrust the test units of manufacturer. Sampling test standards, items and methods are carried out according to the above 3.2.2.
3.5.3 Evaluation of follow up inspection results
The certificates can be retained and the certification marks can be continuously used upon favorable inspection results. If there is any non-conformities found in the follow-up inspection, the corrective actions shall be taken within 3 months. Otherwise, the certificates will be withdrawn, the certification marks will be stopped using, and the relevant results will be announced
