What is Quasi-Certification?
How Quasi-Certification Works
Because JATL’s testing facility and equipment are classified as “primary equipment,” JATL has the capability to calibrate and verify an applicant’s testing equipment or facility and certify that it successfully satisfies the required standard.
Equipment Calibration and Testing facility
Two types of test equipment with different capacities are used for testing, and the targets of testing facility in quasi-certification are for appliances below.
- Residential air conditioner
- Commercial air conditioner
- Domestic water heat pump
Quasi-Certification
If the difference between applicant’s measurements and JATL’s measurements are within a predetermined value, then the applicant’s testing equipment is deemed to be sufficiently capable and satisfactory, and a Certificate of Quasi-Certification of Testing Equipment is issued. Quasi-Certification is valid for a period of two years from the date of issue and the certification scope is stated on the accreditation certificate.
