Validity of certifications

Validity of permanent link and channel certifications include two different periods. A copy of the issued certificate is included in the 3P homepage until one year after certification. The listing of the permanent link or channel is maintained until three years after certification.

Attestations of Conformity

Attestations of Conformity are issued based on one time testing and no factory inspection or follow up testing is performed. Consequently, 3P cannot certify that the same high quality level is maintained in the future. However, 3P has the general experience that the quality stays constant, at least for some period of time, and therefore the issued certificates stay valid one year after issue. After this one year the user should carefully evaluate that modifications of performance have not been made since the original certification. The link to the Attestation of Conformity will be removed from the 3P homepage after one year, but the originally granted certification will be listed in the 3P homepage for two more years.

Compliance Statements

Compliance Statements are issued based on continued monitoring of the quality of the components and are therefore valid as long as the programme is running. A Compliance Statement will be updated regularly to reflect the latest performed maintenance of qualification testing (date is found on the certificate).
