Purpose

This component manages device inspections and certifications. If a device passes an inspection in accordance with prescribed margins of error, it is certified for a certain period and can be reinstalled. A device may be certified in one of the following ways:

  • As a device in a sample lot

  • Individually via periodic replacement

  • Individually via an SD order

There are two types of certifications:

  • The calibration validity of a device is renewed via an external certification carried out in accordance with legal requirements by a recognized inspection office.

  • The quality of a device is inspected according to internal certification guidelines.

Implementation Considerations

This component is optional. You require it if you wish to manage device inspections or certifications with the Utilities Industry (IS‑U) component.
