ωCE marking.

What is more, the equipment must comply with environmental-protection standards, with production taking place on premises certified ISO 14001. The UPS design procedure shall be covered by an ISO 9001 quality system as well as a dependability study to ensure maximum reliability.

12.2 - Certification of conformity

The manufacturer shall provide, on request, a complete qualification file demonstrating compliance with the above standards. What is more, the indicated levels of performance shall be confirmed by certification from independent laboratories (e.g. TÜV or Veritas).

13 - Test procedures and quality system

13.1 - Test procedures

The UPS manufacturer shall provide proof of a stringent Quality Assurance programme.

In particular, the main equipment manufacturing stages shall be sanctioned by appropriate tests such as:

ωincoming components inspection, discrete subassembly testing;

ωcomplete functional checks on the final product.

Equipment shall undergo on-load burn-in before leaving the factory.

Final inspection and adjustments shall be documented in a report drawn up by the supplier’s Quality Inspection department.

ISO 9001 or 9002 certification of the production site is compulsory.

13.2 - Quality system

The UPS design procedure shall be covered by an ISO 9001 quality system as well as a dependability study to ensure maximum reliability.
