KTC: On-site factory inspection is back to normal.

KTL: For factories applying for the first time, it is still necessary to go through the factory inspection before the issuing of a KC certificate.

However, the certificate can still only be issued after the factory inspection is conducted.

KTR: On-site factory inspection is back to normal in Guangdong Province and Shanghai City. For other provinces and areas it is still suspended. KTC accepts the special processing method of issuing a certificate after submitting all the inspection materials of the factory.

3) These exceptions are valid only for certificates expiring prior to June 30, 2020.

Valid only for certificates expiring until June 30, 2020

For each project: new certification, certification maintenance (surveillance) and recertification, when clients inform they cannot receive Factory Inspectors or cannot test their products due to COVID-19 epidemic, TÜV Rheinland Brazil will prepare a Risk Assessment Analysis considering the documentation provided by manufacturer and from previous projects as follow:

Documentation arranged by manufacturer:

1. Latest Internal Audit Report: according to item 9.2 of ISO 9001 or 8.2.4 of ISO 13485
2. Management Review Report: according to item 9.3 of ISO 9001 or 5.6.1 of ISO 13485

Documentation from previous projects:

3. Complaints Handling: in this case we will use the last CCS (Customer Complaint Service) Audit Report done at the importer (Brazilian License Holder);
4. Results from previous tests: only applicable for maintenance and recertification projects

Based on the Risk Assessment Analysis, TÜV Rheinland Brazil will decide:

1. Postpone for a maximum period of 6 months the Factory Audit and Tests. In this case the client may have 2 independent evaluation activities in the next period (2 factory audits and 2 tests) depending on the periodic maintenance rules or;
2. Perform remote factory audit, when agreed between manufacturer and TÜV and conditioned to technical availability (Skype or other communication tool) and perform Tests with exceptional Test Report Acceptance Criteria.

Note: the Risk Assessment Analysis will be performed for factory audits and tests separately, and only initiated after client request to evaluate the project situation.

Please contact TUV Rheinland colleagues for more details.
