All evaluation and testing are based on the requirements in WELMEC Guide 8.8. For parts of measuring systems an Evaluation Certificate (EC), or Parts Certificate (PC), can be issued in accordance with WELMEC Guide 8.8. Older Test Certificates (TC) can be transferred to Parts Certificates. New Test Certificates cannot be issued.

A clear definition of the measuring instrument and its intended use must be provided at the initial contact with RISE

The process and delivery

The process begins with submitting an application together with technical documentation for the component or product to be certified. Based on the documentation, RISE develops an evaluation plan that describes the assessments and tests that are required. The technical documentation is reviewed and any tests are carried out in accordance with WELMEC Guide 8.8. Tests can be performed in RISE laboratories. 

If the product meets the requirements, a Parts Certificate or Evaluation Certificate is issued that can be used as a basis for certification of the complete measuring instrument. A Parts Certificate or Evaluation Certificate is normally valid for ten years. Validity requires, among other things, that the product is not altered and that the requirements on which the certification was based are still up-to-date.
