2.0 Scope

This voluntary certification program, administered by the Safety Equipment Institute (SEI), is available to

any manufacturer of safety equipment which produces products for the North American market and

applies to have its product models certified by SEI. Participation in the SEI program is open on a non-

discriminatory basis to all manufacturers.

SEI shall operate in accordance with U.S and Canadian Federal, Provincial and Municipal laws and

regulations administered by the regulatory authorities.

All product testing is in accordance with applicable voluntary, government or other product

performance standards as recognized by SEI. The certification testing and quality assurance audits will

be conducted by independent third parties under contract to SEI. SEI does not influence the testing or

quality assurance auditing of any product model. Those decisions are made by independent Testing

Laboratories and Quality Assurance Auditors. SEI accepts responsibility for these entities, and the final

decision on all product certification issues rests with SEI.

All fees under the voluntary certification program will be paid to SEI, including the charges for testing

and quality assurance audits. SEI will administer the program.

SEI shall certify the manufacturer’s product model(s) and grant the right to use the SEI certification mark

when:

1) the Testing Laboratory has determined that the product model submitted and tested

successfully meets the appropriate product standard,

2) the Quality Assurance Auditor has determined that the manufacturer complies with SEI quality

assurance requirements through an on-site audit, including a review of the quality manual and

procedures

3) the manufacturer has paid all fees

4) product liability insurance requirements are met.

Following initial certification, all product models are tested, at least, annually and are selected by the SEI

auditor, when available, during the annual quality assurance audit.

SEI and the independent third parties retained by SEI will not accept any responsibility for product

liability. This responsibility rests solely with the manufacturer who has agreed to hold the SEI Testing

Laboratory, the Quality Assurance organization, and the SEI Directors, Officers and Staff harmless and

indemnify them against all claims pursuant to the terms set forth in the Manufacturer’s Agreement. See

Section 3: Manufacturer’s Agreement of this manual.

C. Manufacturers shall apply for annual certification of certified models. D. The SEI Certification Program is designed for the certification of finished product models, except

that, in certain specific instances, component models may be certified. In order to avoid confusion, the SEI certification mark used on component models shall be different from the SEI certification mark used on finished product models. Section 17: Use of SEI Certification Mark of this manual provides specific details regarding component model certification and the use of the SEI certification mark for components.

8.2 Special Process Certifications - New Standards

When required product performance is changed through the use of a new, revised or different standard, SEI views the testing and recertification as an initial certification. In that case, suitable grandfathering will be provided to permit an orderly transition both by users and manufacturers. See Section 5: Selection of Standards of this manual.

Upon certifying models to a new standard for the first time (i.e., a new certification program or revised standard) SEI will grant all participating manufacturers a fair and equal opportunity to obtain certification. When feasible, SEI will announce a date by which time all applicants must apply in order to receive certification by a specified date.



8.3 Special Process Certifications - Private Labels

Extension of certification for a model already approved, but marketed under a different mark (i.e., private labeled), may be granted by SEI under the following conditions:

1. The manufacturer and private label manufacturer shall notify SEI in writing per the SEI Certification Submittal Form for Private Label Products (see Section 8B), the company for whom the product is being private labeled, the brand name and product model number used by that company.

2. The Private Label manufacturer shall become an SEI participant and shall submit a signed Manufacturer’s Agreement, provide proof of product liability insurance, and pay applicable fees (ie: annual participation fee, application fees, and certification fees).

3. The model shall be identical to one already certified except for markings or other Class II changes, as described in Section 14: Product Changes of this manual and as demonstrated through product photo(s), drawing(s) or a product sample submitted to SEI for.

4. The manufacturer continues certification of the original model. The certification submittal paperwork shall cross-reference the Private Label Manufacturer’s SEI reference number.

5. The Private Label manufacturer shall submit the appropriate documentation as described in Section 9: Sample Submittal Process for submitting the identical product with the appropriate SEI reference number, brand name, model number, etc. and cross-referencing it with the manufacturer’s SEI reference number.

6. Due to confidentiality requirements noncompliances shall be issued to the manufacturer, and not the private label manufacturer.

7. Labels and user instructions for the private label product shall be reviewed and accepted by SEI and/ or the laboratory for compliance with applicable SEI and product standard requirements. A fee for product evaluation/comparison, label and user information review will be charged by SEI and/or the laboratory for initial private label submittals.

8. The Private Label Manufacturer shall be required to submit a Recall Policy as described in Section 18: Recall Procedures to SEI for approval.

9. The Private Label Manufacturer shall have a process in place to handle complaints as described in Section 19: Complaints and Appeals.

10. Verification of the above conditions shall be reviewed during the manufacturer’s SEI quality audits. An SEI quality audit will only be conducted at the Private Label Manufacturer’s facility if deemed necessary or the facility already has products certified with SEI.

11. The Product Label Manufacturer shall be issued a certification letter upon completion of the certification process.



8.4 Special Process Certifications - Modified Models

Extensions of certification for products modified by a Class I change, as described in Section 14: Product Changes of this manual, will require submission of the model for recertification testing. Changing or adding a major component supplier is considered a Class I change and shall immediately be reported to SEI for evaluation and possible action.

Section 15: Nonconformance/ Departure, Potential Hazard, and Complaints received by SEI Against Certified Products

Revision Date: 09.09.14 Date of Issue: 01.12.12

15.0 Nonconformance/ Departure, Potential Hazard, and Complaints Received by SEI Filed Against Certified Products

A. A nonconformance to product standard(s) will be categorized, according to its potential effect on the end-user as (1) Critical, (2) Major A, (3) Major B (4) Minor, (5) NOCSAE Critical, or (6) NOCSAE Non-Critical as defined below and as specified in the Attributes & Variables portion of this manual for each program in which the manufacturer participates:

1) Critical A nonconformance that judgment and experience indicate is likely to result in a condition immediately hazardous to life or health for individuals using or depending upon the device.

2) Major A A nonconformance, other than critical, that is likely to result in failure to the degree that the device does not provide protection, or a nonconformance that reduces protection and is not readily detectable by the user.

3) Major B A nonconformance, other than Major A or critical, that is likely to result in reduced protection and is readily detectable by the user.

4) Minor A nonconformance that is not likely to reduce materially the protection provided by the device for its intended purpose, or a nonconformance that is a departure from established standards and has little bearing on the effective use of operation of the device.

5) NOCSAE Critical (pertains to the NOCSAE Athletic Equipment Program) Demonstrate at least three standard deviations in cases where statistical control can be documented, or four standard deviations in cases where statistical control cannot be documented.

6) NOCSAE Non-Critical (pertains to the NOCSAE Athletic Equipment Program) Demonstrate at least two standard deviations in cases where statistical control can be documented, or two and one-half standard deviations in cases where statistical control cannot be documented.

B. Once product models have been certified, the testing laboratory will assess nonconformance from product standard(s) as a result of their findings.

C. Once the quality system has been approved, the severity of departures from that system will be assessed by the Quality Assurance Auditor as described in the Quality Assurance section of this manual.

D. In the case of a Minor nonconformance, no action will be taken by SEI provided the manufacturer corrects the nonconformance within sixty (60) days.

1 of 6




E. In the case of a Major B nonconformance, no action will be taken by SEI provided the

manufacturer returns to approved design, production and quality control methods within five (5) days.

F. In the case of a NOCSAE Non-Critical nonconformance, no action will be taken by SEI provided the manufacturer returns to approved design, production and quality control methods within thirty (30) days.

G. In the case of a Critical. Major A, or NOCSAE Critical nonconformance, the manufacturer shall be notified as soon as possible by SEI, and shall terminate at once all use of the SEI certification mark on the affected products and perform containment of suspect SEI labeled product.

H. SEI shall be notified of any situation where a certified product could lead to a potential hazard. Additionally, Per ISO Guide 27-1983(E), where a report of a hazard involved with a certified product is received by SEI, the validity of the hazard shall be investigated in accordance with SEI internal complaint procedures. A hazard shall be a condition, or create a situation, which results in exposing life limb or property to an imminently dangerous condition. Where it is established that a hazard is involved with a certified product, the manufacturer shall terminate at once all use of the SEI certification mark on the affected products, and perform containment of suspect SEI labeled product.

I. In the case of a Critical, Major A, or NOCSAE Critical nonconformance, or where it is established that a hazard is involved with a certified product, representatives of the testing laboratory, the Quality Assurance Auditor and SEI shall meet with the manufacturer as expeditiously as possible to decide the action appropriate in the circumstances. The manufacturer shall immediately cease all use of the SEI certification mark on the affected products, perform containment of suspect SEI labeled product and institute such action as requested by SEI on the basis of the findings of SEI, the testing laboratory and Quality Assurance Auditor. When implemented, the recall procedure (which shall be accepted as being in compliance with Section 18: Recall Procedures of this manual). These procedures are adapted from those used by the Food and Drug Administration.

J. The manufacturer shall have the right to an expedited appeals process with respect to the above decisions based on the findings and conclusions of the testing laboratory or Quality Assurance Auditor; however, all use of the SEI certification mark shall cease pending the outcome of the appeal. In the event the manufacturer requests an appeal be taken to the American Arbitration Association (AAA), the AAA Appeals Board shall convene whenever possible within five (5) working days after the manufacturer has notified SEI in writing of its intent to appeal. Based upon oral and/ or written presentations made by the manufacturer, testing laboratory, Quality Assurance Auditor and/ or SEI, the AAA Appeals Board shall affirm, modify or reverse the previous decisions no later than five (5) working days after hearing the appeal or receiving written materials, whichever occurs last. The manufacturer will pay all costs associated with the

2 of 6




appeals procedure as billed by SEI. These costs must be paid within ten (30) days of the date of billing.

K. A request to terminate use of SEI certification mark will not be rescinded until such time as the corrective action has been initiated and the manufacturer has returned to the approved design, production and quality assurance methods.

L. A proceeding to withdraw certification of the affected products may be initiated by SEI if: 1) The manufacturer fails to comply with the request to terminate use of the SEI

certification mark, or 2) The manufacturer fails to use reasonable efforts to implement and complete the agreed

upon recall procedure. M. Manufacturer-initiated recall of products bearing SEI certification mark:

1) A manufacturer may decide on its own volition and under any circumstance(s) to remove or correct a distributed product bearing the SEI certification mark.

2) The manufacturer that takes this action because it believes that the affected product may be hazardous or in nonconformance with the applicable standard is required to notify SEI immediately. In such cases, the manufacturer shall provide SEI with the following information:

a) Identity of the product model(s) involved. b) Reason for the removal or correction and the date and circumstances under

which the nonconformance or possible hazard was discovered. c) Evaluation of the risk associated with the nonconformance or possible hazard. d) Total amount of such products produced and/ or the time span of the

production. e) Total amount of such products estimated to be in distribution channels. f) Distribution information, including the number of direct accounts and, where

necessary, the identity of direct accounts. g) A copy of the firm’s recall or safety alert communication if any has been

issued. h) Proposed strategy for conducting the recall. i) Name and telephone number of the firm’s official who should be contacted

concerning the recall. 3) SEI, the testing laboratory and Quality Assurance Auditor, will review the information

submitted, recommend any appropriate changes and determine whether any other action is appropriate. Pending review by SEI, the manufacturer need not delay initiation of its product removal or correction.

N. Complaints Received by SEI Regarding SEI Certified Products 1) All complaints regarding SEI certified products must be submitted in writing to SEI. 2) Complaints shall be immediately investigated by the Technical Director for validity.

3) The complainant will be provided with a written response from the Technical Director or

President acknowledging SEI’s receipt of the complaint within fourteen (14) days of receipt.

4) Information about the SEI participant/certified product obtained from sources other than the SEI participant (e.g. from the complainant or from regulators) shall be treated as confidential.

5) Where warranted, complaints will be submitted to SEI legal counsel for review to ensure legal considerations are properly reviewed and addressed.

6) Where a complaint regarding a certified product is determined to be valid, SEI will initiate an investigation and the Technical Director will refer the complaint to the manufacturer(s) cited. SEI’s investigation shall include, but not be limited to, the extent and scope of the complaint as it might apply to other certified product or certified product components manufactured by other manufacturers or certified by other certification organizations. SEI’s investigation shall also include reports of a hazard where certified product is gaining widespread use in applications not foreseen when the standard was written, such applications in turn being ones for which the product was not certified, and no specific scope of application has been provided in the standard and no limiting scope of application was provided by the manufacturer in written material accompanying the certified product at the point of sale.

7) Where a complaint is determined not to be valid, the written response will outline the rationale for the determination. The manufacturer(s) cited in the complaint shall be copied on this correspondence.

8) In the event the complainant provides SEI with a written statement disagreeing with SEI’s determination of validity, the Technical Director shall immediately refer the issue to SEI’s Board of Directors for resolution.

9) The manufacturer cited in a valid complaint must also initiate an investigation and provide SEI with a detailed response to the complaint. Typically, the manufacturer’s detailed response will contain the following information (where applicable):

a) The cause of the reported problem which resulted in the submission of the complaint.

b) The scope of the problem, including identification of all affected, certified product by model number/ part number, serial numbers, factory production facilities, production runs, and the quantities involved.

c) A complete report on any proposed corrective actions to address the reported problem.

d) If a recall and/ or retrofit action is proposed, a copy of the action plan prior to its implementation in accordance with Section 18: Recall Procedures of this manual.

11) Any verified nonconformance from product standards will be handled in accordance with the procedures outlined in this section. All costs associated with the investigation, including tests and examinations, will be borne by the manufacturer unless SEI has failed to comply with its program requirements.

12) Where the facts indicating a need for corrective action are conclusive and, if applicable, SEI’s appeals procedures (see Section 19.0: Complaints & Appeals) have been followed, the SEI Technical Director or President will provide a written response to the complainant stating what corrective action has been taken or an explanation of how the issue has been resolved. Copies of the response will be provided to the manufacturer, testing laboratory and/ or quality assurance auditor as appropriate.

13) In cases where there is no manufacturer to be held responsible, such as when the manufacturer is out of business or the manufacturer is bankrupt, the written response to the complaint will also be provided to the relevant governmental and regulatory agencies and relevant Canadian Regulatory Advisory Committee (e.g., CCFM & FC) and the SCC. In addition, the Technical Director or President will issue a notice to the user community about the hazard.

14) In addition, where the facts indicating a need for corrective action are conclusive and, if applicable, SEI’s appeals procedures (see Section 19.0: Complaints & Appeals) have been followed, the Technical Director or President shall take one or more of the following actions:

a) Notification of parties authorized and responsible for issuing a safety alert when, in SEI’s opinion, such a notification is necessary to inform the users.

b) Notification of parties authorized and responsible for issuing a product recall when, in the opinion of SEI or applicable government agency, such a recall is necessary to protect the users.

c) Remove the mark of certification from the product. d) Where a hazardous condition exists and it is not practical to implement one or

more of the above actions or the responsible parties refuse to take corrective action, SEI shall notify relevant governmental and regulatory agencies and issue a notice to the user community about the hazard.

15) In instances where revision(s) to a standard(s) are felt to be necessary, the Technical Director shall provide a copy of the corrective action(s) to the relevant Standards Development Organization (SDO). In addition, the Technical Director shall submit to the

5 of 6




SDO either (1) a public proposal for a proposed change to the next revision of the applicable standard or (2) a temporary interim amendment to the current edition of the applicable standard.

Section 16: Withdrawal of Certification Revision Date: 09.09.14


16.0 Withdrawal of Certification 16.1 Voluntary

A. If a manufacturer wishes to withdraw voluntarily all or any models from the SEI certification program, ninety (90) days written notice of intent shall be given to SEI. The Confirmation of Voluntary Withdrawal from SEI Certification form in Section 16.3 shall be used in cases where all certified models are being withdrawn voluntarily by the manufacturer. Where a manufacturer is voluntarily withdrawing a certified model or model(s), but not all models, the Confirmation of Voluntary Withdrawal of SEI Certified Product form in Section 16.4 shall be used. For either form, the manufacturer will complete Section 1 only and submit one form for each model/SEI reference number being withdrawn. SEI will review the information provided by the manufacturer and complete the information required in Section 2. SEI will then return the form(s) for review and final signature by the manufacturer as required in Section 3. Upon final signature, the manufacturer shall return the completed document to SEI by the due date noted on the form. The manufacturer shall cease and desist all use of, or reference to, the SEI certification mark in the manufacture, marketing and distribution of its products effective on the date(s) specified in Section 2 of the withdrawal form(s). The manufacturer's responsibility for maintaining product liability insurance shall continue as long as products bearing the SEI certification mark are in use. The period of time shall be mutually agreed upon by SEI and the manufacturer at the time of product withdrawal. See the Manufacturer's Agreement, a copy of which is incorporated into this Manual.

B. The manufacturer shall be permitted to sell any products in its possession or control that bear the SEI certification mark and properly conform to the applicable product standards and quality assurance requirements, provided such mark was affixed prior to the notification date of termination.

C. In no case shall withdrawn product, which is within the control of the manufacturer and labeled with the SEI mark, be sold, with regard to whichever occurs first: 1) past the one year certification effective date stated in the most recent SEI certification letter; 2) after one year following the date of voluntary termination; 3) one year after the SEI announcement of the adoption of a new edition of a standard, or 4) according to labeling requirement(s) stated in any give standard/scheme (e.g., NFPA, NIJ, NOCSAE). For a reasonable length of time, SEI shall, at its option, have access to the manufacturer's premises and records to verify this information and to ensure that the manufacturer does not use the SEI certification mark on any other product.

1 of 6




16.2 Involuntary

A. Grounds for SEI initiating withdrawal of certification: 1) Misuse of SEI certification mark; 2) Failure to meet the quality assurance requirements; 3) Failure to have products conform to model tested and certified; 4) Where it is established through an SEI investigation that a hazard is involved with a

certified product; 5) Failure to pay undisputed fees within sixty (60) days from the date of receipt by the

manufacturer. B. Whenever product testing, SEI certification mark monitoring or quality assurance audits reveal

that the manufacturer has failed to comply with the requirements of the SEI certification program or certification scheme/standard, the manufacturer shall receive notice which shall specify the requirements not being met, the specific corrective action to be taken and the time frame within which such action must be taken. This notice shall be sent by SEI on the basis of findings and conclusions made by the Testing Laboratory and/or the Quality Assurance Auditor, where appropriate.

C. Upon receipt of such notice, the manufacturer shall have the opportunity to present any test data, other evidence, or argument in its behalf. Based upon the manufacturer's presentation and the evidence that supports the noncompliance, SEI shall determine whether the affected products are in full compliance with the certification scheme/standard(s), and/or quality assurance requirements. SEI shall provide notice to the manufacturer within ten (10) working days following the meeting, or after submission of written material, whichever occurs last.

D. If receipt of evidence and corrective action by the manufacturer and, including results from retesting and/or quality assurance auditing, demonstrate that the noncompliance involved has been corrected, SEI shall notify the manufacturer that it is authorized to continue use of the SEI certification mark on the model(s) in question provided those products continue to satisfy the testing and quality assurance requirements of the SEI certification program.

E. The manufacturer may appeal the decision withdrawing SEI certification, as specified in the Appeals Section of this Manual.

F. Effective upon receipt by the manufacturer of a denial of its appeal or after the lapse of time for such an appeal, the manufacturer shall cease and desist use or reference to the SEI certification mark in the manufacture, marketing and distribution of its products affected in the appeal.

G. If any manufacturer fails to pay the fees and assessments owed to SEI within thirty (30) days, or ten (10) days in the case of an Appeals Board billing, SEI shall notify the manufacturer in writing of such default and issue a letter withdrawing certification of the affected product(s).

G. Non-payment of undisputed fees and charges within sixty (60) days of the date on which the statement is received from SEI, that is not cured within ten (10) days following written notice of such failure, or other material breach that is not cured within thirty (30) days following written

2 of 6




notice from the non-breaching party, shall constitute cause for termination. In the event Manufacturer disputes any fees and charges, it shall notify SEI of such dispute, in writing, and within sixty (60) days following the receipt of SEI’s billing statement. The failure to timely dispute any such billing from SEI, shall be deemed a waiver of any such dispute.

H. If an SEI request to the manufacturer to terminate use of the SEI certification mark becomes final and binding, the manufacturer shall terminate use of the SEI certification mark with respect to the particular products involved effective immediately upon receipt of notice from SEI. The Confirmation of Involuntary Withdrawal of SEI Certified Product form in Section 16.5 shall be used for this purpose. For a reasonable period time, SEI or its authorized representative shall have access to the manufacturer's premises and records to verify that the SEI mark is not being affixed to or used in connection with any such products.

I. Upon termination of the Manufacturer's Agreement, the manufacturer shall discontinue at once all use of the SEI certification mark, except in the instance where termination is not related to failure to comply with applicable standards and/or quality assurance requirements, in which case the provisions of paragraph 16.1 B above shall apply.

Section 17: Use of SEI Certification Mark



1 of 5

17.0 Use of SEI Certification Mark

Once a manufacturer has received its certification letter authorizing use of the SEI mark, the

manufacturer can begin using the SEI mark on the certified product. Additionally many companies will

choose to place the SEI mark on their labels, brochures, cartons and other materials. Some performance

standards require that it be on labels and in the technical data package.

Use of logos of voluntary standards organizations (i.e., ANSI, NFPA, etc.) or government standards

making bodies are not allowed by those groups. Reference to the latest standards of those bodies must

be on the label as indicated in each standard.

17.1 General Requirements

A. The SEI certification mark shall be used and reproduced in a consistent format that makes the

mark easily identifiable wherever it appears.

B. The manufacturer shall use the SEI certification mark only to identify those products actually

conforming to models that have been successfully tested by the testing laboratory to meet the

applicable product standard(s) and which also conform to models verified by the Quality

Auditor to meet quality assurance requirements.

C. The manufacturer shall use the SEI certification mark and the SEI name, abbreviation, design or

symbol, or any other form of reference which may be interpreted to mean Safety Equipment

Institute only in such form or manner as set forth below or otherwise expressly authorized in

writing by SEI in advance. A copy of the SEI approval shall be kept on file by the participant.

D. SEI, as part of its program of monitoring proper use of the mark, will routinely review

advertisements, catalogs and sample products to confirm compliant use of the mark.

Additionally, during SEI audits, SEI quality auditors shall review participant’s use of the SEI

mark, and bring to SEI’s attention any potential incorrect use.

17.2 SEI Certification Mark

A. Below is an example of the SEI Certification Mark*:

Certified Model

*When marking a small item such as a spectacle temple, the SEI mark may be used by itself on the product

providing the packaging displays the SEI mark and “Certified Model (name of standard).”





2 of 5

B. In using the SEI certification mark, the manufacturer shall faithfully reproduce it and shall not

alter the mark in any way. Whenever used, the SEI certification mark must be legible.

C. With regard to components, the manufacturer shall use a different certification mark, as

specified in Section 17.6: Component Model Certification.

D. Examples of Correct & Incorrect Uses of the SEI Certification Mark***

Examples of Correct Use:

Certified Model (Name of Standard) ** Cert. Mod. (Name of Standard)**

Certified Model

(Name of Standard) ** Cert. Mod. (Name of Standard)**

Examples of Correct use for NOCSAE certified Products





3 of 5

Examples of Incorrect Use:

Certified Approved Products Certified

**Name of Standard is the designation of standard and year of approval (i.e., NFPA 1981-2007 edition, ASTM

F1163-04a, etc.)

***For product(s) certified to an NFPA standard, the SEI Mark must accompany the compliance statement

required by the respective NFPA standard. In these cases, it is not necessary to include the wording “Certified

Model (Name of Standard)” or “Cert. Mod. (Name of Standard)” adjacent to the SEI Mark.

17.3 Advertising and Promotional Literature

A. The manufacturer shall not advertise, publicize or promote its products in such a manner as to

indicate that SEI approves or certifies any individual product or that SEI makes any other

representation or certification with respect to individual products to which the mark is affixed.

SEI does not approve or certify specific products. SEI does not certify that a product model

meets the requirements of the specified standard.

B. The manufacturer may display the SEI certification mark or logo in any advertising or

promotional material only in connection with product models certified by SEI.

17.4 Misuse

A. Misuse of the SEI certification mark and refusal to take corrective action constitutes cause to

initiate procedures to withdraw certification and the right to use the mark on affected products.

B. Care must be taken that the certification mark is not used to convey misleading or incorrect

information. For example, use of the SEI certification mark in an advertisement depicting four

hard hats, three of which depict models certified by SEI, would be misleading unless an

explanation is given that only three of those models depicted are certified by SEI. Similarly,

where a manufacturer has several product lines, some of which may not be part of the SEI





4 of 5

certification program, use of the SEI certification mark in connection with all the product lines

would be misleading and incorrect. The above examples are two instances of misuse of the SEI

certification mark.

17.5 Mandatory Use

The SEI mark identifying certification by SEI is mandatory on all certifications where required by product

standards (i.e., NFPA safety and protective equipment standards, CAN/CSA Z94.3-07, etc.).

Requirements for style (i.e., height, font, etc.) as stated in the standard shall be reviewed for compliance

by SEI. SEI shall allow for exceptions to Section 17.2: SEI Certification Mark when a product standard

requires such an exception, and the exception is approved by SEI per Section 17.1: General

Requirements subpart C.

17.6 Component Model Certification

Components (i.e., lenses used in eye and face protection devices and D-rings used in fall protection

products) may be submitted for component model certification, so that when such components are

used in several products, the repetition of all tests will not be necessary. In general, a change from one

certified component model to another is considered a Class II change, one that should not require a new

model designation for the finished product.

If the manufacturer of a certified component model elects to place the SEI certification mark on the

component, the mark shall be as shown below, distinctive from the SEI certification mark used on

product models. The component model certification mark shall emphasize that the entire product is not

necessarily an SEI certified model. For example:

xxx* Certified Model- Z87.1-2010 or xxx* Cert. Mod.- Z87.1-2010

*Where xxx is replaced with the name of the component (i.e., lens, D-ring, etc.)

An SEI certified component model shall be a completed component which does not require further

processing prior to insertion into a protective device. If, however, a certified component model is

altered in any way prior to inclusion in the finished product, further tests shall be required. In general, if

a participating manufacturer purchases components that are SEI certified component models for use in

product models, it may not be necessary to have the component-only testing repeated.

17.7 SEI Mark for Canada

SEI is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) as a Certification Body. To help Canadian

regulatory authorities and others readily identify those products SEI has certified specifically to Canadian

standards, SEI provides a unique mark for Canada, the c-SEI Mark below.

C

With the addition of the Canadian identifier, all requirements stated in this section are applicable to use

of the c-SEI Mark. The Canadian identifier shall be a lower case letter “c” placed in the eight o’clock

position next to the SEI mark. It shall be clearly distinguishable and in no case shall its height be less than

1 mm.

17.8 Optional Label for Equestrian Body Protector Certification Program

The following representation has been approved for use as the SEI official sewn-in label to be displayed

on the outside of equestrian protective vest models that have been certified by SEI in accordance with

ASTM F1937-04, Standard Specification for Body Protectors Used in Horse Sports and Horseback Riding.

This official sewn-in label has been developed for promotional purposes only to provide uniformity in

displaying the certification of equestrian protective vests among participants in the SEI Certification

Program for Equestrian Body Protectors. This does not replace any labeling requirements.

Manufacturers shall comply with all labeling requirements in accordance with ASTM F1937-04, Standard

Specification for Body Protectors Used in Horse Sports and Horseback Riding. Use of this label is optional;

however, when a promotional sewn-in label is used on the outside of the vest, it shall be made in

accordance with the following representation and guidelines. The logo shall be Pantone 542 and the

outline and words are Pantone 430 or black. A white or off-white background shall be used.

Section 18: Recall Procedures Revision Date: 09.09.14


18.0 Recall Procedures

SEI recall procedures are adapted from FDA Procedure published as 21 CFR Part 7, Subpart C-Recalls (Including Product Corrections) – Guidelines on Policy, Procedures and Industry Responsibilities.

18.1 Recall Policy

SEI participants shall have a recall procedure in place that has been approved by an SEI Technical Director. (See Section 18.10: SEI Recall Policy Evaluation Checklist that will be used in evaluating recall policies submitted to SEI by participants.) Subsequent changes to the SEI-approved recall procedure shall also be approved by an SEI Technical Director. SEI’s auditor will periodically review the recall policy during audit visits.

Under the SEI Certification Program, the manufacturer retains complete control over the quality and integrity of its products, which includes administering recalls. The manufacturer is free at any time to undertake a voluntary recall of products for any reason. Such responsible action on the part of manufacturers is highly desired and beneficial to the SEI program. However, it is recognized that in some extreme circumstances, SEI may request a recall or other actions as are appropriate. Such actions will be requested only in the most urgent situations when (1) the testing laboratory has determined that a Critical or Major A nonconformance exists, (2) the Quality Assurance Auditor concurs in the evaluation and (3) SEI and the manufacturer agree that a recall of the affected product models is necessary to ensure the welfare of the user, the integrity and reputation of the SEI program and all participating manufacturers. Where a manufacturer does not agree that a recall is necessary, SEI shall take steps to withdraw certification of the affected product model in accordance with Section 15.L.

In cases where a certified product is regulated by a government agency such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) or the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH), the recall requirements of the applicable government agency will take precedence.

18.2 Evaluation of Product Nonconformance

An evaluation of the product being recalled or considered for recall will be conducted by the testing laboratory and/ or Quality Assurance Auditor, and will be based on the Attributes and Variables in the Programs Section of this manual.

18.3 Recall Strategy

A. A recall strategy that takes into account the following factors will be developed by the recalling firm to suit the individual circumstances of the particular recall:

1. Evaluation of product nonconformance

1 of 8




2. Ease in identifying product 3. Degree to which the product nonconformance is obvious to the user 4. Degree to which the product remains unused in the marketplace 5. Continued availability of essential products

B. SEI will review the adequacy of a proposed recall strategy developed by a recalling firm and

recommend changes as appropriate. A recalling firm should conduct the recall in accordance with an approved recall strategy but need not delay initiation of a recall pending review of its recall strategy.

18.3.1 Elements of a Recall Strategy

A recall strategy will address the following elements regarding the conduct of the recall:

A. Depth of Recall Depending on the product’s degree of hazard and the extent of distribution, the recall strategy will specify the level in the distribution chain to which the recall is to extend.

B. Public Warning The purpose of a public warning is to alert users and their employers that a product being recalled presents a serious hazard to health/ safety. It is reserved for urgent situations where other means for preventing use of the recalled product appear inadequate. The recalling firm that decides to issue its own public warning is required to submit its proposed public warning and plan for distribution of the warning for review and comment by SEI. The recall strategy will specify whether a public warning is needed and whether it will issue as:

1. General public warning through the general news media, either national or local as appropriate, or

2. Public warning through specialized news media, e.g., professional or trade press, or to specific segments of the population such as municipal fire departments, trade associations, labor organizations, etc.

C. Effectiveness Checks The purpose of effectiveness checks is to verify that all consignees at the recall depth specified by the strategy have received notification about the recall and have taken appropriate action. The method for contacting consignees may be accomplished by personal visits, telephone calls, letters or a combination thereof. The recalling firm will ordinarily be responsible for conducting effectiveness checks, but SEI will assist in this task where necessary and appropriate. The recall

2 of 8




strategy will specify the method(s) to be used for contacting consignees and the level of effectiveness checks that will be conducted, as follows:

• Level A 100 percent of the total number of consignees to be contacted

• Level B Some percentage of the total number of consignees to be contacted, which percentage is to be determined on a case-by-case basis, but is greater than ten (10) and less than 100 percent of the total number of consignees

• Level C Ten (10) percent of the total number of consignees to be contacted

• Level D Two (2) percent of the total number of consignees to be contacted

• Level E No effectiveness checks.

18.4 SEI Requested Recall

A. SEI may request a firm to initiate a recall or other actions as appropriate when the following determinations have been made:

1. That a product has been distributed and has been determined to have a Critical or Major A nonconformance as defined in Section 15: Nonconformance/ Departure, Potential Hazard, and Complaints Received by SEI Filed Against Certified Products of this manual;

2. That the firm has not initiated a recall of the product; and

3. That SEI action is necessary to protect the health and safety of users.

B. SEI will notify the firm of this determination and of the need to begin immediately a recall of the product. Such notification will be by letter or email to a responsible official of the firm, but may be preceded by oral communication or by a visit from an authorized representative of SEI with formal, written confirmation from the President of SEI afterward. The notification will specify the nonconformance of the product, the request for the recall strategy and other appropriate instructions for conducting the recall.

C. Upon receipt of such notification, the firm may be asked to provide SEI with any or all of the information listed in Section 18.3: Recall Strategy, and other information as requested by SEI.

3 of 8




18.5 Firm Initiated Recall

See Section 15: Nonconformance/ Departure, Potential Hazard, and Complaints Received by SEI Against Certified Products of this manual.

18.6 Recall Communications

A recalling firm is responsible for promptly identifying each of its affected direct accounts about the recall. The format, content and extent of a recall communication should be commensurate with the hazard of the product being recalled and the strategy developed for that recall. In general terms, the purpose of a recall communication is to convey:

A. That the product in question is subject to a recall

B. That further distribution or use of the remaining product should cease immediately

C. Where appropriate, that the direct account should in turn, notify its customers who received the product about the recall

D. Instructions regarding what to do with the product

18.6.1 Implementation

A recall communication can be accomplished by telegrams, mailgrams, or first class letters conspicuously marked, preferably in bold red type, on the letter and the envelope: “Recall (or Correction)”. The letter and the envelope should also be marked “URGENT”, when appropriate. Telephone calls or other personal contacts should ordinarily be confirmed by one of the above methods and/ or documented in the appropriate manner.

18.6.2 Contents

A. A “sample” recall communication document shall be included as part of each participant’s Recall Policy. This “sample” document could then be used and/ or modified to suit the particular circumstances should the need ever arise to initiate a recall.

B. A recall communication document shall be written in accordance with the following minimum requirements:

1. Be brief and to the point

2. Identify clearly the product, size, lot number(s), code(s) or serial number(s) and other pertinent descriptive information to enable accurate and immediate identification of the product

4 of 8




3. Explain concisely the reason for the recall and the hazard involved, if any

4. Provide specific instructions on what should be done with respect to the recalled product; and

5. Provide a ready means for the receipt of the communication to report to the recalling firm whether it has any of the product, e.g., by sending a postage-paid, self-addressed postcard or by allowing the recipient to place a collect call to the recalling firm.

C. The recall communication document should not contain any irrelevant qualification, promotional materials, or any other statement that may distract from the message. Where necessary, follow-up communications should be sent to those who fail to respond to the initial recall communication.

18.6.3 Responsibility of Recipient

A consignee that receives a recall communication should immediately carry out the instructions set forth by the recalling firm and, where necessary, extend the recall to its consignees in accordance with Section 18.6 (c).

18.7 Recall Status Report

A. The recalling firm is requested to submit periodic recall status reports to SEI so that the progress of the recall may be addressed. The frequency of such reports will be determined by the relative urgency of the recall and will be specified by SEI in each recall case.

B. Unless otherwise specified or inappropriate in a given recall case, the recall status report should contain the following information:

1. Number of consignees notified of the recall, and the date and method of information.

2. Number of consignees responding to the recall communication and quantity of products on hand at the time it was received.

3. Number of consignees that did not respond (if needed, the identity of non-responding consignees may be requested by SEI).

4. Number of products returned or corrected by each consignee contacted and the quantity of products accounted for

5. Number and result of the effectiveness checks that were made.

6. Estimated time frame for completion of the recall

5 of 8




C. Recall status reports are to be discontinued when the recall is terminated by SEI.

18.8 Termination of a Recall

A. A recall will be terminated when SEI determines that all reasonable efforts have been made to remove or correct the product in accordance with the recall strategy, and when it is reasonable to assume that the product subject to recall has been removed and proper disposition or correction is commensurate with the degree of hazard of the recalled product. Written notification that a recall is terminated will be issued by SEI to the recalling firm.

B. A recalling firm may request termination of its recall by submitting a written request to SEI stating that the recall is effective in accordance with the criteria set forth in paragraph A of this section, and by accompanying the request with the most current recall status report and a description of the disposition of the recalled product.

18.9 General Industry Guidance

A recall can be disruptive of a firm’s operation and business, but there are several steps a prudent firm can take in advance to minimize this disruptive effect. The following is provided by SEI as guidance for a firm’s consideration:

A. Prepare and maintain a current written contingency plan for use in initiating and effecting a recall in accordance with Paragraphs 18.1 through 18.8.

B. Use sufficient coding of certified products to make possible positive lot identification and to facilitate effective recall of all affected lots.

C. Maintain such product distribution records as are necessary to facilitate location of products that are being recalled. Such records should be maintained for a period of time that exceeds the shelf life and expected use of the product and is at least the length of time specified in other applicable regulations concerning records retention.

ANSI/ISEA 102-1990 (R2009) Gas Detector Tube Units

ASTM E2952-14 Respiratory Protective Escape Device

20.1 Certification Submittal Package

A Certification Submittal Package shall include an SEI Certification Submittal form (see Section 20A: SEI

Certification Submittal Form) and a Components & Materials Description Checklist form (see Section

20B: General Components & Materials Description Checklist) for each product model, variant or

accessory being submitted. Completion of the submittal package serves four primary purposes:

1. The submittal package provides SEI and the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor with a

description of new, modified or products to be selected for annual certification.

2. The information provided by the manufacturer in the submittal package confirms to SEI

the product design and components.

3. Receipt of the submittal package by the testing laboratory, from SEI, serves as the

laboratory’s authorization to begin testing the product(s) and allows laboratory

personnel to verify that the correct product samples have been received.

4. The return of a signed copy of the submittal form from the testing laboratory provides

SEI with a record of the date testing was completed on the product model.

Over the life of the product, subsequent submittal packages shall document that the product model

submitted for certification testing is identical to samples previously tested, except where Class I model

changes have been tested and documented through the submission of additional SEI submittal packages

or documented Class II changes have been made. It is therefore necessary that each submittal to SEI

include sufficient product description information, which is achieved by a complete components and

materials listing to uniquely and unambiguously identify the product model in question (see Section 14:

Product Changes).

SEI Certification Submittal Form

Each submittal must be identified on the submittal form as either (1) initial certification, (2) annual

recertification, (3) Class I change, or (4) Class II change. Finished product manufacturing facilities

(assembly) located at a different address (i.e., suppliers or company-owned factories) shall be identified

in Section 3 of the submittal form. The SEI Certification Submittal Form shall be signed by the authorized

manufacturer representative within the participating company having the authority to authorize

expenditures for testing.





2 of 7

Components & Materials Description List

The product description information may be (a) listed on the Component & Materials Description

Checklist form, (b) provided as a separate listing by the manufacturer (i.e., Bill of Materials), or (c)

appropriate engineering drawings/ specification sheets. Use of Section 20B: General Components &

Materials Description Checklist form is recommended. The following information is to be included on

each Components & Materials Description Checklist. Brief examples are provided for guidance.

A. Description of Major Components

All major components and materials shall be identified and described. Where possible, include

brand name and part number, supplier name and location.

B. Primary Materials

Materials used in the construction of major components shall be identified. Identification shall

include trade names, if applicable. All changes shall be reported to SEI for evaluation and

possible action.

C. Manufacturing Locations

All locations in which the product model is manufactured or assembled must be identified on

the SEI Certification Submittal Form. If major components are manufactured by another

company and purchased by the SEI participants, the name and address of the manufacturing

facility and contact name shall be identified on the Components & Materials Description

Checklist.

D. Specification Sheets or Technical Bills of Materials

Product specification sheets or technical bills of materials (BOM) may be included with the SEI

Certification Submittal Form in addition to the Components & Materials Description Checklist to

fulfill some or all other requirements noted above. In the case of annual recertification, the

appropriate documents (i.e., submittal form and components & materials listing or BOM) shall

be prepared prior to the sample selection audit and available to the auditor during the audit for

reference and confirmation of product.

E. Confidentiality

All product information received by SEI staff, the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor, or the SEI

testing laboratory shall be considered confidential and shall not be released to any third party

without written authorization to do so (with the exceptions noted Section 3: Manufacturer’s

Agreement for response to a subpoena, court order or other compulsory process).

20.2 Definition of a “Model”

“Model” is the collective term used to identify a group of protective devices of the same basic design

and components from a single applicant produced by the same manufacturing and quality assurance

procedures that are covered by the same certification. Any characteristic that affects the device’s

performance under the limits of the current certification standards constitutes a different model. For

purposes of the SEI Certification Program, the above definition of the term “model” uses performance

characteristics as the basic criteria.





4 of 7

20.3 ANSI/ISEA 102-1990 (R2009) Gas Detector Tube Units

A. Definition of Model

Characteristics that should affect the model’s ability to meet the performance requirements of

the certification standard and therefore require a new model designation:

1. Any change to the tube unit or components thereof, which individually or collectively

affects standard sampling rate or sample volume.

2. Basic chemical formulation change.

3. Color change to reagent.

4. Any change which affects interchangeability of components of certified tube units.

Characteristics that should not affect the model’s ability to meet the performance requirements

standards specify the minimum information that must be presented, and each manufacturer may

provide as much information about the products as they deem necessary to use the products safely.

However, the standard does not specify or require a set format for presenting this information. As a

result, there are many ways a User Guide or Label can be arranged and presented, which is up to the

discretion of each manufacturer. Use of Section 25C: User Guide and Label Checklist form is

recommended to be completed so an accurate review and evaluation can be conducted.

SEI Certification Program Manual Section 26: ANSI/ASTM/CSA/NIJ Protective Clothing and Footwear Program


Section 26: ANSI/ASTM/CSA/NIJ Protective Clothing and Footwear Program Revision Date: 09.09.14


26.0 ANSI/ASTM/CSA/NIJ Protective Clothing and Footwear Program Standards

• ANSI/ISEA 101-96-R2008 Limited Use and Disposable Coveralls • ASTM F2413-11 Protective Footwear • ANSI/ISEA 107-10 High Visibility Safety Apparel • CAN/CSA Z96-09 High Visibility Safety Apparel • CAN/CSA Z195-14 Protective Footwear • NIJ 0117.00 Public Safety Bomb Suit Standard


A Certification Submittal Package shall include an SEI Certification Submittal form (see Section 26A: SEI Certification Submittal Form) and a Components & Materials Description Checklist form (see Section 26B: General Components & Materials Description Checklist) for each product model, variant or accessory being submitted. Completion of the submittal package serves four primary purposes:

1. The submittal package provides SEI and the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor with a description of new, modified or products to be selected for annual certification.

2. The information provided by the manufacturer in the submittal package confirms to SEI the product design and components.

3. Receipt of the submittal package by the testing laboratory, from SEI, serves as the laboratory’s authorization to begin testing the product(s) and allows laboratory personnel to verify that the correct product samples have been received.

4. The return of a signed copy of the submittal form from the testing laboratory provides SEI with a record of the date testing was completed on the product model.

Over the life of the product, subsequent submittal packages shall document that the product model submitted for certification testing is identical to samples previously tested, except where Class I model changes have been tested and documented through the submission of additional SEI submittal packages or documented Class II changes have been made. It is therefore necessary that each submittal to SEI include sufficient product description information, which is achieved by a complete components and materials listing to uniquely and unambiguously identify the product model in question (see Section 14: Product Changes).

SEI Certification Submittal Form Each submittal must be identified on the submittal form as either (1) initial certification, (2) annual recertification, (3) Class I change, or (4) Class II change. Finished product manufacturing facilities (assembly) located at a different address (i.e. suppliers or company-owned factories) shall be identified in Section 3 of the submittal form. The SEI Certification Submittal Form shall be signed by the authorized

1 of 29




manufacturer representative within the participating company having the authority to authorize expenditures for testing.

Components & Materials Description List The product description information may be (a) listed on the Component and Materials Description Checklist form, (b) provided as a separate listing by the manufacturer (i.e. Bill of Materials), or (c) appropriate engineering drawings/ specification sheets. Use of Section 26B: General Components and Materials Description Checklist form is recommended. The following information is to be included on each Components & Materials Description Checklist. Brief examples are provided for guidance.

A. Description of Major Components All major components and materials shall be identified and described. Where possible, include brand name and part number, supplier name and location.

B. Primary Materials Materials used in the construction of major components shall be identified. Identification shall include trade names, if applicable. All changes shall be reported to SEI for evaluation and possible action.

C. Manufacturing Locations All locations in which the product model is manufactured or assembled must be identified on the SEI Certification Submittal Form. If major components are manufactured by another company and purchased by the SEI participants, the name and address of the manufacturing facility and contact name shall be identified on the Components & Materials Description Checklist.

D. Specification Sheets or Technical Bills of Materials Product specification sheets or technical bills of materials (BOM) may be included with the SEI Certification Submittal Form in addition to the Components & Materials description checklist to fulfill some or all other requirements noted above. In the case of annual recertification, the appropriate documents (i.e., submittal form and components and materials listing or BOM) shall be prepared prior to the sample selection audit and available to the auditor during the audit for reference and confirmation of product.

E. Confidentiality All product information received by SEI staff, the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor, or the SEI testing laboratory shall be considered confidential and shall not be released to any third party without written authorization to do so (with the exceptions noted Section 3: Manufacturer’s Agreement for response to a subpoena, court order or other compulsory process).

“Model” is the collective term used to identify a group of protective devices of the same basic design and components from a single applicant produced by the same manufacturing and quality assurance procedures that are covered by the same certification. Any characteristic that affects the device’s performance under the limits of the current certification standards constitutes a different model. For purposes of the SEI Certification Program, the above definition of the term “model” uses performance characteristics as the basic criteria.


Testing shall be performed annually. When an initial submittal package is submitted to SEI, the Application Fees and Annual Participation Fees (See Section 7: Annual Participation Fees) are due. Upon completion of initial testing, Annual Model Certification Fees are due. The following is a schedule of application fees and annual model certification fees that apply to the Protective Clothing Program:


Base Model Initial $250 $395 Class I Change $50 N/A


Variant Model Initial $125 $125 Class I Change $50 N/A


Accessory Model Initial $125 $125 Class I Change $50 N/A

26.4 ANSI 101-96 (R2008) Limited Use and Disposable Coveralls

A. Definition of Model Characteristics that should affect the model’s ability to meet the performance requirements of the certification standard:

1. Style

Characteristics that should not affect the model’s ability to meet the performance requirements of the certification standard:

1. Color 2. Size 3. Material Type


1. Materials/sizes in which coverall is available


SEI currently has approved one (1) laboratory that may conduct testing to this standard. The following information should be used as guide when selecting a lab to test your models. The schedule of rates for testing at these laboratories can be used to estimate the total cost of testing for all the models that are to be certified.

Checklist form (see Section 29C: User Guide and Label Checklist) for each element or material

component, product model, variant or accessory being submitted. Completion of the submittal package

serves four primary purposes:

1. The submittal package provides SEI and the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor with a description of

new, modified or existing products to be selected for annual certification.

2. The information provided by the manufacturer in the submittal package confirms to SEI the

product design and components.

3. Receipt of the submittal package by the testing laboratory, from SEI, serves as the laboratory’s

authorization to begin testing the product(s) and allows laboratory personnel to verify that the

correct product samples have been received.

4. The return of a signed copy of the submittal form from the testing laboratory provides SEI with a

record of the date testing was completed on the product model.

User Guide and Label Checklist

If applicable, a User Guide and Label are required for protective ensemble and ensemble elements.





Page 3 of 13

The standards specify the minimum information that must be presented, and each manufacturer

may provide as much information about the products as they deem necessary to use the products

safely. However, the standard does not specify or require a set format for presenting this

information. As a result, there are many ways a User Guide or Label can be arranged and presented,

which is up to the discretion of each manufacturer. Use of Section 29C: User Guide and Label

Checklist form is recommended to be completed so an accurate review and evaluation can be

conducted.

Typically element or material components are not required by the standard or specification to

include a label or user guide. However Section 17: Use of the SEI Certification Mark of the SEI

Certification Program Manual (CPM) does require the use of a component model certification mark.

The existence of an executed, valid license agreement with NOCSAE is prerequisite to SEI issuing certification. A Certification Submittal Package shall include an SEI Certification Submittal form (see Section 30A: SEI Certification Submittal Form) and a Components & Materials Description Checklist form (see Section 30B: General Components & Materials Description Checklist) for each product model, variant or accessory being submitted. Completion of the submittal package serves four primary purposes:

1. The submittal package provides SEI and the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor with a description of new, modified or existing products to be selected for annual certification.

2. The information provided by the manufacturer in the submittal package confirms to SEI the product design and components.

3. Receipt of the submittal package by the testing laboratory, from SEI, serves as the laboratory’s authorization to begin testing the product(s) and allows laboratory personnel to verify that the correct product samples have been received.

4. The return of a signed copy of the submittal form from the testing laboratory provides SEI with a record of the date testing was completed on the product model.

Over the life of the product, subsequent submittal packages shall document that the product model submitted for certification testing is identical to samples previously tested, except where Class I model changes have been tested and documented through the submission of additional SEI submittal packages or documented Class II changes have been made. It is therefore necessary that each submittal to SEI include sufficient product description information, which is achieved by a complete components and materials listing to uniquely and unambiguously identify the product model in question (see Section 14: Product Changes).

SEI Certification Submittal Form Each submittal must be identified on the submittal form as either (1) initial certification, (2) annual certification, (3) Class I change, or (4) Class II change. Finished product manufacturing facilities (assembly) located at a different address (i.e. suppliers or company-owned factories) shall be identified in Section 3 of the submittal form. The SEI Certification Submittal Form shall be signed by the authorized manufacturer representative within the participating company having the authority to authorize expenditures for testing.

Components & Materials Description List The product description information may be (a) listed on the Component and Materials Description Checklist form, (b) provided as a separate listing by the manufacturer (i.e. Bill of Materials), or (b) appropriate engineering drawings/ specification sheets. Use of Section 30B: General Components and Materials Description Checklist form is recommended. The following information is to be included on each Components & Materials Description Checklist. Brief examples are provided for guidance. A. Description of Major Components

All major components and materials shall be identified and described. Where possible, include brand name and part number, supplier name and location.

Page 3 of 16




Materials used in the construction of major components shall be identified. Identification shall include trade names, if applicable. All changes shall be reported to SEI for evaluation and possible action.


All locations in which the product model is manufactured or assembled must be identified on the SEI Certification Submittal Form. If major components are manufactured by another company and purchased by the SEI participants, the name and address of the manufacturing facility and contact name shall be identified on the Components & Materials Description Checklist.


Product specification sheets or technical bills of materials (BOM) may be included with the SEI Certification Submittal Form in addition to the Components & Materials description checklist to fulfill some or all other requirements noted above. In the case of annual recertification, the appropriate documents (i.e., submittal form and components and materials listing or BOM) shall be prepared prior to the sample selection audit and available to the auditor during the audit for reference and confirmation of product.

E. Confidentiality

All product information received by SEI staff, the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor, or the SEI testing laboratory shall be considered confidential and shall not be released to any third party without written authorization to do so (with the exceptions noted in Section 30 D: NOCSAE Manufacturer’s Agreement for response to a subpoena, court order or other compulsory process).

30.2 NOCSAE Athletic Equipment Program Codes

SEI utilizes SEI Reference Numbers internally to identify each SEI participant and their unique models and variants. The first set of three letters indicates which standard the model/variant is being certified to. The second set of three letters indicates the SEI participant's identification. The numbers are used chronologically to indicate each model being certified.

30.8 NOCSAE QC/QA Protocols

A. NOCSAE ND001 Standard Drop Impact Test Method and Equipment for Protective Headgear/Equipment specifies manufacturers to have a testing program that includes ongoing QC/QA protocols.

B. NOCSAE QC/QA Protocols (per ND001)

Level 3 Equipment/Gear: A class of protective equipment/gear for which a functional failure presents a risk of grave and irreversible injury or death. Manufacturers shall demonstrate a process capability of at least three standard deviations in cases where statistical control can be documented and four standard deviations in cases where control either cannot be established or cannot be documented. This requirement can be demonstrated for example with a capability analysis as described in Section 5.3 of NOCSAE DOC ND 011. When manufacturers rely on Acceptance Sampling procedures, an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) equal to or more demanding than 0.65 shall be used. Individual performance requirements may exempt a particular requirement from Level 3 and assign a lower level of compliance. Any facial contact requirement in the ocular area of the headform shall be considered Level 3. Level 3 protective equipment/gear shall be considered an ISO 17067 Scheme Type 5 certification.

Page 8 of 16



Level 2 Equipment/Gear: A class of protective equipment/gear for which a functional failure presents a risk of serious injury, but not grave and irreversible injury or death. Manufacturers shall demonstrate a process capability of at least 1.5 standard deviations in cases where statistical control can be documented and 2 standard deviations in cases where control either cannot be established or cannot be documented. This requirement can be demonstrated for example with a capability analysis as described in Section 5.3 of NOCSAE DOC ND 011. When manufacturers rely on Acceptance Sampling procedures, an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) equal to or more demanding than 2.5 shall be used. Individual performance requirements may specify a different level of compliance for specific criteria. Any facial contact requirement NOT in the ocular area of the headform shall be considered Level 2. Level 2 protective equipment/gear shall be considered an ISO 17067 Scheme Type 5 certification.

Level 1 Equipment/Gear: A class of equipment/gear for which safety is not the primary function, and where non-conformance to the applicable standard presents no risk of personal injury. Manufacturers shall demonstrate a process capability of at least 1.5 standard deviations in cases where statistical control can be documented and 2 standard deviations in cases where control either cannot be established or cannot be documented. This requirement can be demonstrated for example with a capability analysis as described in Section 5.3 of NOCSAE DOC ND 011. When manufacturers rely on Acceptance Sampling procedures, an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) equal to or more demanding than 2.5 shall be used. Individual performance requirements may specify a different level of compliance for specific criteria. Level 1 protective equipment/gear shall be considered an ISO 17067 Scheme Type 2 certification.

A. Quality Audit Procedures

The quality audit procedures are applicable to conducting Quality Audits of a Quality Management System performed by an SEI Quality Auditor in accordance with the requirements of the SEI Certification Program (see CPM Section 11 Quality Assurance and CPM Section 12 Audit Procedures), that include initial total system audits and on-site and remote surveillance audits. The Audit Checklist (see CPM Section 13 Audit Checklist) shall be used for the initial total system audit and any annual on-site surveillance audit. The NOCSAE Remote Audit Checklist (See Section 30C NOCSAE Athletic Equipment Remote Audit Checklist) shall be used for annual remote surveillance audits where approved.

B. SEI NOCSAE Quality Audit Procedures

NOCSAE standards address the frequency of onsite and remote audits for QC/QA Equipment/Gear Level 1, 2 and Level 3 categorized products.

Participants whose products fall into Equipment/Gear Level 1, shall undergo a remote audit upon initial participation in the certification program and annually thereafter. However, an onsite surveillance audit may be conducted in the event the remote audit is unsatisfactory or there are multiple testing non-compliances during annual certification testing.

Participants with products designated as Levels 2 and 3 shall be subjected to an initial onsite quality audit. Upon certification, annual surveillance audits shall be required with an onsite audit at least every three years. Audits in years two and three following an onsite audit may be accomplished by remote surveillance audits if all of the following is true:

Page 13 of 16



1. There were no NOCSAE critical noncompliances during certification testing. 2. There were no major noncompliances during an onsite and/or remote audit. 3. There were no new model categories (e.g. new product s) where such products were submitted

during the non-onsite audit years. 4. The product/equipment being certified has at least three years of QA/QC data available for

review through an annual remote audit.

If any of the above criteria are not met, remote surveillance audits shall not be permitted

C. Remote Quality Audit Procedures

The Remote Audit will take place off-site and will require participants to submit their Quality Manual and any supporting documentation to the SEI auditor. It is possible the SEI auditor may need to request additional supporting documentation in order to adequately perform the Remote Audit. The SEI Auditors will be using the SEI Remote Audit Checklist (See Section 30C NOCSAE Athletic Equipment Remote Audit Checklist) to conduct the document review. At the conclusion of the review, the SEI auditor will provide SEI and the participant with an audit report.

D. Quality Audit Fees

Audit Type Fee NOCSAE On-Site Audit To be determined based on SEI auditor fees for

time and travel* NOCSAE Remote Audit To be determined based on SEI auditor daily rate*

*See CPM Section 7: Participation Fees for specific auditor fees. A 10% surcharge will be added to all quality audit fees.
