3. PROCEDURE FOR CERTIFICATION
Certification applications should be made by using the appropriate form, Appendix 1, and sent to:
GlobeCert AB, Allégatan 13. SE-777 31 Smedjebacken, Sweden.
The application should include:
The name and address of the company
The name of the factory
The following should be included with the application:
The name of the person responsible for production control and their qualifications
Appendix 1
The most recent inspection report (if such a report exists)
Certification is carried out, chapter 5.1, and documented, Appendix 3.
The evaluation of materials submitted and certification visits will be carried out by
GlobeCert AB.
The evaluation process will be documented.
If this evaluation results in approval, an agreement will be signed with the manufacture,
Appendix 2.
The agreement will automatically apply for a year at a time, unless terminated by either party no
later than three months before the end of the calendar year.
A product certificate, will be issued stating that the internal control meets the requirements of
GlobeCert AB’s checklist in accordance with SS-EN ISO 9001:2008 and that the factory has
been added to the list of prestressing/reinforcing steel manufacturers with product certificates.
This certificate is valid for five years.
All certification documentation and information is subject to confidentiality, and will not be
issued to other parties without the permission of the applicant.
Obligation: GlobeCert AB is a completely independent company from the influence of any stakeholders and
impartiality in decision making.
If the results testing in connection to new certification not are in accordance to standard
requirements but certification on the other hand is approved, GlobeCert AB can issue a certificate
for the factory with the statues as provisional certification. The certificate is valid during max. 12
months. During that time the testing frequency must be doubled.
When certification of more steel grades, the producer shall declare witch external standardized
steel grades the internal steel grade (works standard specification) contains.
Based on the factories declaration GlobeCert AB will carry out samples for testing.
The sampling is also a base for that all dimensions will be carried out during a five years period
for testing at audits. When results from 6 months testing is presented, continuous audits will take
place. Evaluation of approval for certification is made based on results from the contiuous

inspection and test results. Products covered by GlobeCert AB certificate: The packing slip must
be marked with GlobeCert AB’s certification mark and certification number and the product id.
Certification mark and number shall only be used in this way.
If the manufacturer already has a certificate issued by an accredited certification body, the
certificate can be transferred across in two steps:
1. Provide details of GlobeCert AB’s regulations and standard requirements, request a
copy of the certificate, the quality manual and the reason for changing certification
body. All documentation from the most recent certification cycle, which must be at
least two years. Carry out a review of the documents provided and make a decision on
approval or rejection. Notify the company of the decision. Offer a control visit if
appropriate.
2. Check that the invoice has been paid, plan a control visit and issue a certificate which
matches the previous certificate in terms of product and time period.
Complaints and appeals:
Procedure for complaints and appeals on the website section "Suggestions and Complaints".

4. QUALITY SYSTEM
The factory must have a documented system for internal control which includes all the
requirements of the product standards applied for and GlobeCert AB’s checklist for the
product applied.
The quality system (FPC) must be documented in a quality manual which must include, as
a minimum:
Organisation including responsibilities and authorisations
System self-monitoring with verification of compliance and response mismatch
Production control system, including the necessary process descriptions an Instructions
The extent is controlled against GlobeCert AB checklists for the actual product.
When there is an by a accredited body certified ISO 9001:2008 system the audit shall be reduced
to cover product or process standard.
If the factory manufactures specific products, specific instructions must exist for these.
The factory must document its product and its manufacture using the following documents:
Följesedel skall innehålla rätt beteckning på material som hänvisar till
standard eller kundkrav
Provningsresultat
Produktspecifikation med egenskapsredovisning och en hanteringsinstruktion
för mottagaren
Provningsjournal och tillverkningsjournal
Staff must meet the requirements detailed in chapter 6.
The company management must carry out a review of the quality system at least once every
other year. Any complaints should be remedied within 3 months.
When carrying out this review, experiences and the quality system must be evaluated, along
with the need for new or revised procedures or instructions, experiences from inspections,
etc.
The review must be documented.

5. REVIEWS
There are two types of review: certification and ongoing reviews.
Additional reviews may also be required. Any such reviews focus only on a specific area
where a problem has arisen. When carrying out any reviews, the auditor may issue comments
which the factory must remedy within the agreed time period.
Reviews are carried out by an auditor appointed by GlobeCert AB.
5.1 Certification
Certification is carried out by an auditor appointed by GlobeCert AB at the factory which has
applied for product certification for a specific product.
On certification, a check is carried out to ensure that all the right technical, staff and
administrative conditions exist for manufacturing prestressing/reinforcing steel of a consistent
and high quality, and that the right conditions exist for carrying out internal control in
accordance with the product standards applied for in Point 2.
When carrying out the review, the auditor will make reference to any deficiencies in the
quality system or internal control, and will ask the factory’s representative to remedy these as
soon as possible. Details of the problem (NCR´s) will be written on the comments form
(doc.2.3.3), along with an agreement on the timescale within which a response will be sent to
GlobeCert AB. All serious problem (NCR`s) must be off before the certificate is issued.
The certification results will be documented, Appendix 3, comprising checks of the quality
system and internal control.
After certification, the auditor will recommend to GlobeCert AB that product certification be
approved or rejected, making reference to the certification results.
GlobeCert AB retains the original version of the certification report, and sends a copy to the
quality representative at the factory which has been reviewed.

5.2 Continuous review
Ongoing reviews are carried out by the certification body:
twice a year or number of reviews described in standards at factories that have
received product certification
at least once a year for process certification regarding SS-EN/ISO 17660-1:2006
and 17660-2:2006
If the company is certified according to EN ISO 9001 the auditor shall control the validity of the
certificate and be documented on the checklist.
Advance notification will be given of these reviews.
The responsible operations manager or his/her deputy shall be present.
At these reviews, manufacture and journal records will be reviewed, along with the results of
internal control for the certified products/process.
The representative of the certification body shall have free access to all premises, logs, journals,
test reports and other documentation which may be relevant to carrying out the review.
The results of the ongoing review will be documented, Appendix 3.
Sampling shall be carried out from certified product and shall be tested internal or external at
accredited lab. according product standard. Regarding process standard the company is
controlled that testing has taken place in the frame of its FPC.
If the company has a certified quality system acc. to EN ISO 9001 the checklist, just only will be
used to fulfil the requirements in the certified product/process standard.
The continuous review will the normal case not cover all areas included in the check list.
However, all areas included in the check list must be reviewed during the two annual reviews.
When carrying out the review, the auditor will make reference to any deficiencies in the quality
system or FPC, and will ask the factory’s representative to remedy these. Details of the NCR´s
will be written on the comments form (doc.2.3.3), along with an agreement on the timescale
within which a response will be sent to GlobeCert AB of the corrective actions taken. Minor
NCR´s shall be corrected before next coming review. Major NCR´s corrective actions must be
sent to GlobeCert AB within 1 month.
This corrective action will be sent to GlobeCert AB within the agreed time following the review.
The auditor follows up to check that all comments have been remedied according to plan when
carrying out the next inspection, unless these comments are so serious that GlobeCert AB deems
a specific inspection to be necessary.
At Major Non-conformities or serious non-compliances, the auditor will recommend that
GlobeCert AB continues or ceases certification, making reference to the results of the ongoing
review.
GlobeCert AB will approve or reject continued product certification, making reference to the
review carried out.
