Notes:
* — the agency
assessing product conformity determines the need for and scope of testing from
the results of checking the certified quality management system (inspection on
site)
** — carried out
by the agency that issued the certificate for the quality management system.
Using certification schemes
1. Certification schemes 1 – 6 and 10 are used when certifying batch
production; schemes 7, 8, and 9 are used when certifying products already
output.
2. The use of scheme 1 is recommended for a limited, pre-agreed
product sales volume.
3. Scheme 2 may be used when certifying imported production supplied
under long-term contracts or for regular supplies of batch products under
separate contracts.
4. Scheme 3 should be used when certifying batch products if stable
production is assured.
5. Scheme 4 is used when all-round, strict product stability control
is required.
6. The use of schemes 5 and 6 is recommended when certifying products
for which:
 the actual sample size for testing is insufficient for
an objective assessment of the output products;
the manufacturing processes are sensitive to external
factors;
increased stability requirements for output products
have been established;
the best before dates of the products are less than
the period required to arrange and conduct the tests;
there are frequent changes in product versions;
the products may be tested only after the consumer
installs them.
Scheme 6 differs in that it does not provide for certification of the
end product; it is recommended for certifying components.
Scheme 6 may also be used when certifying imported products of a
supplier (not the manufacturer) with a certified quality management system, if
the classification of the characteristics being assessed during certification
and their values conform to the requirements of regulatory documents in effect
in the Republic
of Kazakhstan.
7. The use of schemes 7 and 8 is recommended when production and
sales of this product have a one-time character (lot, one-off products).
8. The use of scheme 9 is recommended for imported products in the
following cases:
for small and medium business and individual
entrepreneurs;
when importing products for in‑house needs and
production (components, accessory products, raw materials and semi‑finished
products for manufacturing, production tools, production devices and
instruments, installation equipment, etc.);
when importing products for sale by other companies if
there are no test laboratories in the region.
9. The use of scheme 10 is recommended when certifying products of
domestic manufacturers with irregular output or long‑term production of small output
quantities.
Use of this scheme is advisable when certifying
products requested by small businesses.
10. Schemes 9 and 10 may not
be used when certifying the following groups of homogeneous products:
baby
food;
toys,
gasoline,
drugs.
