3 Certification of a claim consumes resources from both the Vendor, and the CEC Administration and CEC Assessors.
4
5 Preparing and assessing multiple claims from the same Vendor often allows for significant synergies if the claims are processed in parallel at the same time.
6
7 To reward Vendors organizing themselves such that the resulting effort is optimized, CEC grants significant discounts to Vendors who offer the processing of multiple claims in parallel.

Uwe Trueggelmann 3.1 9 = The different options =
Uwe Trueggelmann 1.1 10
Uwe Trueggelmann 2.2 11 == Single Product and single Site ==
12
Uwe Trueggelmann 1.1 13 Preparation of a claim for initial certification typically consists of the optional LCA support by CEC to the Vendor to determine the KPIs, and the mandatory CEC Assessment.
14
15 In case of a single site and a single product, the cost sums up as follows:
16
Uwe Trueggelmann 3.1 17 === LCA Support ===

Uwe Trueggelmann 2.2 19 (% border="1" %)
Uwe Trueggelmann 3.1 20 |=Item|=Cost [USD]

Uwe Trueggelmann 2.2 42 == Two Products and single Site - without co-ordination ==
Uwe Trueggelmann 1.1 43
Uwe Trueggelmann 3.1 44 If the vendor certifies another product for example 4 month after the first one, the same cost occurs for the second product, and so on for additional products.
Uwe Trueggelmann 2.2 45
Uwe Trueggelmann 3.1 46 So, if CEC Assessment of products is not co-ordinated, then the total cost for CEC certification is 5000 USD/product/site/year:
Uwe Trueggelmann 2.2 47
Uwe Trueggelmann 3.1 48 (% border="1" %)
49 |=Number of products|=Cost for LCA Support service + CEC Assessment [USD]
50 |1|5000
51 |2|10000
52 |3|15000
Uwe Trueggelmann 2.2 53
Uwe Trueggelmann 3.1 54 The same applies if the vendor wants to add the same product produced in an additional site.
55
Uwe Trueggelmann 2.2 56 == Two Products and single Site - with co-ordination ==
57
58 If the vendor orders and processes the LCA support and CEC Assessment for two products produced in the same site at the same time, then the following applies:
59
60 === LCA Support ===
61
Uwe Trueggelmann 3.1 62 Only the cost for one additional product is added for the second product, the site fee is charged only once. Hence:
Uwe Trueggelmann 2.2 63

65 |=Number of products|=Cost for LCA Support service
66 |1|2000

71 Condition:

73 (% class="wikigeneratedid" %)
74 All products are processed at the same time by TruCert.
75
Uwe Trueggelmann 2.2 76 === CEC Assessment ===
77
78 Only the cost for one additional product is added for the second product, the CEC Assessment Base fee and the site fee are charged only once.

81 |=Number of products|=Cost for LCA Support service

87 Condition:
Uwe Trueggelmann 2.2 88
Uwe Trueggelmann 3.1 89 (% class="wikigeneratedid" %)
90 All products are processed at the same time by TruCert, there is one CEC Assessment addressing all products; the CEC Assessment may be spread over multiple days.

94 If the vendor certifies multiple products, and provides the data for the LCA suport service at the same time, and co-ordinates the CEC Assessments such that the products can be audited at the same time, the above described synergies sum up as follows:
