In nmetro certification, the most widely used certification mode is the international common certification mode 5, which includes the test of the product itself and the audit of the factory quality management system. At the same time, the mode also requires preliminary examination and supervision audit. The specific process is as follows:
 
First trial:
 
 
 
Analysis of product technical documents
 
 
 
Define the product family and determine the test product model
 
 
 
Initial factory audit
 
 
 
Sampling)
 
 
 
Laboratory assessment (if applicable)
 
 
 
Witness test (if applicable)
 
 
 
Importer audit
 
 
 
Certification process review
