22 * Verification of audit scope, production sites, products

24 |Start of CEC Assessment + 00:15 h|(((
25 cecAP worksheet AP Program:
26
27 * RE020 - Change Management
28 ** Change Control Procedure
29 ** Change Notification Procedure
30 ** Evidences that these procedures are applied to changes of product, process, and material supply
31 * RE030 - Material Supply
32 ** Procedure for Material Planning Process
33 ** Evidence that the need for the Materials required to produce the CEC certified products in the planned quantities is periodically determined, communicated to material and component suppliers, and sufficient availability confirmed by material and component suppliers
34 * RE040 - Maintain required approvals
35 ** Product Qualification Procedure
36 ** Summary report indicating full compliance of the product with the applicable CQM requirements
37 ** Measurement records supporting the above summary report
38 ** CSI letter
39 ** If the product was found not fully compliant with the CQM requirements, evidence that CSI was informed of such non-conformity prior to issuing the CSI letter.
40 * RF020 to RF050
41 ** If you used the CEC LCA support service, the only evidence needed is the completed cecLQRF
42 ** If you did not use the CEC LCA support service, but calculated the indicators yourself or using external support, access to the full documentation of the calculations and systems used is required.

46
47 Note: The below list applies in case you have used the CEC LCA support service. If you did not use the CEC LCA support service, but calculated the indicators yourself or using external support, full access to the system used to conduct the calculations is required.
48
49 * RF110 - Total Energy Consumption
50 ** List of electricity bills covering the 12 month period reported in the cecLQRF
51 ** Individual electricity bills
52 ** Evidence for the transport of materials and components as reported in the cecLQRF, at least a list of deliveries and how they were transported from the manufacturer of the material to the site. For antenna inlays ensure that the transport of the material from the plastic film manufacturer to the inlay manufacturer is also included.
53 * RF120 - Non-renewable Energy Consumption
54 ** Renewable Energy Certificates, if any were purchased
55 ** Confirmation from the electricity provider about renewable content of the electricity provided, if any renewable electricity was purchased
56 ** Records of renewable electricity generated on site
57 ** Note that the LCA calculation system we use to calculate the cumulative energy demand values includes assumptions for the standard electricity gridmix for countries and some regions within countries. If this is the only renewable content claimed, you do not need to provide any evidences beyond the cecLQRF.
58 * RF130 - Total Material Consumption
59 ** Measurement records supporting the data you provided in the cecLQRF (dimension, mass)
60 ** Yield records
61 * RF140 to RF160 - Non-renewable, non-recycled, not-from-reclaimed-waste Material Consumption
62 ** Unless the material is CEC certified:
63 *** Documented information from the material supplier regarding renewable, recycled, recovered waste content of the material
64 *** 3rd party confirmation of renewable, recycled, recovered waste content of the material, if available
65 * RF210 - Halogen Content of the Finished Product
66 ** Unless the default values provided in the cecLQRF were used, measurement records
67 * RF305 - Production Waste into landfill or incineration
68 ** If you claim that your production waste is recycled, then you need to provide the following:
69 *** Records showing the amount of production waste shipped to the recycling provider, summary and individual delivery notes
70 *** Confirmation from the recycling provider of the amounts received
71 *** Confirmation from the recycling provider of the amounts actually recycled
72 *** Evidences that the recycling provider actually recycles the materials received, such as photos or videos, about the recycling process and the resulting products demonstrating that the production waste supplied from the Vendor is actually processed by the recycling provider and into what.
73 * RF310 - Total Production Waste
74 ** Records showing the total amount of production waste for the time period reported in the cecLQRF
75 * RF320 - Product Mass
76 ** Weight Measurement record
77 * RF400 - CO2e Footprint
78 ** If you used the CEC LCA Support Service then the cecLQRF suffices as evidence, otherwise full access to the system that has determined the CO2e Footprint reported in the cecAP is required during the assessment.
