As a third party RISE performes inspection of design and manufacturing to verify the quality at factory built wooden houses. For more information regarding Säker Vatten inspection, se below.

The purpose with certification is that through an initial audit and follow-up inspections answer to the inspections that the developer and the inspection manager are responsible of, according to the Planning and Building Act (PBL), chapter 10, 5-8 §§. The certification has its origin in the technical properties in PBL, chapter 8, 4-5 §§ and in 18-21 §§ concerning suitability of building products and releasing of building products to the market.

The certification rule covers wooden houses and wooden house components that are manufactured in the factory.

Inspection plan according to the Plan and Building Act

Did you know that the inspection plan according to PBL must also include what is carried out in the factory? In practice, this can be difficult to solve as the factories already have established routines and quality systems adapted for their particular series production, which they are reluctant to adjust for each house object. As a support for developers and inspectors, and to ensure the quality of design and manufacturing carried out by the house manufacturers themselves, the house manufacturers can certify themselves. Certified companies have the right to label products and documentation with the RISE certification and inspection mark.

The certification process

The process of becoming certified begins with an initial examination of the manufacturer's self-inspection system, routines for design, manufacturing in the factory, storage, etc. The review is performed in relation to the certification rule, PBL, Boverket's regulations and industry rules. After that, an initial visit is made by RISE where it is checked that the above works in practice during design and manufacture. After the initial visit, the manufacturer receives his certificate.

Follow-up inspections

Follow-up inspections are carried out twice a year at the manufacturer by RISE. During these visits, it is checked that the manufacturer follows the routines and systems that have been established and reviewed at the time of certification.

Extended review

In the certification rule, there is also an option to choose design review (step 2). If this is chosen, RISE experts carry out a check of all relevant properties concerning PBL, Chapter 8, 4-5 §§ and 19-21 §§ for the company's standard constructions.

History - A look back

System for verifying the quality of factory-made single-family homes has existed since the late 1970s when there was an approval rule from the then Statens Planverk (now Boverket) with the possibility of type-approving these systems. In 1995, the conditions for type approval of control systems were changed, which is why SP together with the industry developed a certification rule (SPCR 112) to meet the need for verification of the factories' own control, mainly against building boards and the inspection manager. In 2014, the certification rule was revised (to CR 065) to better comply with current legislation.

Certification rule 065

Certificate and RISE' certification- and inspection mark

Studies show that the brain is more sensitive towards rotational as opposed to pure translational motion hence, different helmet manufacturers approach this claim differently. RISE offers measuring of not only the conventional translational motion but also the rotational one, where the latter affects helmets upon oblique impacts.

RISE has a very long experience in testing of personal protective equipment ( PPE ) and, in addition, actively participates in the efforts of improving and developing existing or new standards at the European and international levels.

Helmet testing can be carried out not only according to a number of standards, within the field of PPE, but also according to clients' own requirements and specifications. Else, help can be extended in developing new methods based on clients’ needs, and in conducting type-approval tests against the Regulation (EU) 2016/425.

RISE is a "one-stop-shop" for testing and certification of PPE.

In our laboratories we have a large number of test rigs and equipment for performing general and special mechanical tests - such as rotational impact tests.

After testing, a full test report with an accreditation mark can be obtained, that is if the method is already accredited, and the report can serve as a basis for the documentation required for the certification process.  However, if the test is not intended for certification purposes, such as in the case of product development tests, regular report along with graphs and data files can be obtained. Additionally, high-speed filming is also available upon request.

Upon agreement

Helmets can be tested partly according to the existing standards, e.g. EN1078, EN1384, EN1077, etc., and partly according to the proposal for rotational testing that is still work-in-progress of the European working group CEN TC158-WG11.

Tents intended for 150 people and more must be inspected and approved in accordance with the order act for use at public gatherings (e.g. religious practice, theatre, circus) and public events (e.g. sports, dance, carnivals, markets).

RISE performs such inspections as an accredited inspection body. Approved tents receive a certificate of approval that is unique to each holder and tent or tent type.

Fire test

For tents made of type-approved tent cloth, no testing is required during the first five years after manufacture.

For tents that are made of non-approved tent cloth or where the cloth is older than 5 years, fire testing is required.

The inspection is conducted within the framework of Swedac's accreditation and is confirmed by a certificate of approval. The regulations contain requirements on the fire-technical properties of the canvas, evacuation safety, carrying capacity, safety against fire origin and spread and electrical safety.

Marking

Each tent for the approved gathering tent shall be marked as follows:

Type-approved tent cloth where type-approval can be invoked:

• approval number
• production
• cloth manufacturer
• cloth designation

Non-type-approved canvas or canvas whose type-approval can no longer be claimed:

• SP logo

Reference to fire test report

• date of marking

System Tents (Tents manufactured in series of similar designs):

• canvas manufacturer
• canvas designation
• year of production
• tent holder or approval certificate number

The work include both accredited and non-accredited testing methods. The scope of accreditation is available upon request – please feel free to contact us for more information.

Tents that are inspected and approved receive a certificate of approval. The certificate of approval is valid for 3 years (tents used frequently, e.g. circus tents), for 7 years (tents used only 1 - 2 weeks per year eg meeting tent) or for 5 years (others).

We perform accredited calibration of differential pressure sensors and manometers in a range of ±20 kPa.

There are several reasons to regularly calibrate your measuring instruments, with one being to increase the accuracy of the measurements taken. In addition, some applications require that the measuring instruments used are calibrated in accordance with ISO / IEC 17025.

We at RISE strive to help you as a customer get the most out of your measuring instruments.

The instrument is connected to our reference and the system is pressurized with compressed air. Results are read directly on the unit or via an output signal and compared with our reference. The calibration is performed at several selected measuring points within the sensor's measuring range. The measuring points can be specified by the customer when ordering.

The calibration results are delivered in a digital calibration certificate accredited in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025. The certificate can be written in either English or Swedish.

A calibration of a manometer is usually performed within 1-2 weeks of arrival.

ISO/IEC 17025

Is the surface according to the specifications? What changes in the surface texture are the effect of a process change? What differences are there in the surface texture of one surface compared to another? How is the surface texture affected by wear? Questions as these can be answered by performing a non-contacting optical measurement of the surfac

Surface texture is sometimes called surface topography or surface roughness. These are terms meaning the geometrical shape of a surface at small scales, often in the micro or nano meter range. Surface texture is important for the function and performance of components in many cases. Changes in processing often show as changes in the surface texture of processed components.

With control over the surface texture it is possible to secure that specifications are well defined and whether specifications are met. It also is possible to adjust manufacturing processes and to find specifications that ensure well-functioning surfaces.

Non-contacting optical measurement using interferometry, confocal microscopy or focus variation depending on suitability. Also, the possibility for indirect measurement by using replica.

Measured areas can be up to several centimeters and the resolution can be down to parts of a micrometer laterally and nanometers vertically.
