60 +|Prepare the cecLOF to request the CEC LCA Support Service|(((
61 +The Vendor opens the cecLOF form contained in the CEC Document Package.
62 +
63 +The Vendor enters the information requested in the blue fields in the cecLOF by following the guideline provided within the cecLOF. This includes the contact information on the first page, the scope and cost of the CEC LCA Support on the CEC LCA Purchase Order page, and the Invoicing Information on the Invoicing Information page of the cecLOF.
64 +
65 +The Vendor determines the cost of the CEC LCA Support Service by double clicking the 2nd table on the CEC LCA Purchase Order page of the cecLOF:
66 +
67 +[[image:image-20240726191230-1.png||height="452" width="689"]]
68 +
69 +This is an embedded Excel table. Once double-clicked it appears like this:
70 +
71 +[[image:image-20240726191410-2.png||height="224" width="691"]]
72 +
73 +Now the Vendor selects the number of products in column A, rows 2 and 3, the Product Type in column C, rows 2 and 3. Note that row 3 is optional and the related cost is 0 if in cell C3 "none" is selected. Finally, the Vendor selects the number of sites to be included in cell A4.
74 +
75 +The embedded table automatically determines the cost of the CEC LCA Support service based on the information provided.
76 +
77 +To leave the editing mode of the embedded Excel table, click on the Word document outside the Excel table.
78 +
79 +In addition, the Vendor defines the requested Invoicing Information on the Invoicing Information page of the cecLOF form.
80 +
81 +The Vendor may opt out of the contract signing process via docusign.com, but is requested to only do this if the Vendor is certain that signature via docusign.com is technically not possible. Not using docusign.com will result in delays.
82 +
83 +Once the Vendor has entered all information, the Vendor saves the word file and e-mails it to [[contact@cecocert.com>>mailto:contact@cecocert.com]].

108 +Note that, in accordance with the terms and conditions agreed in the cecLOF, the invoiced amount must be paid in full. It is the Vendor's responsibility to ensure that TruCert receives the full invoiced amount in their accounts. All banking fees and conversion losses are the Vendor's responsibility and, if they occur, will result in delays, as the provision of the CEC LCA Support Service will only commence once the full amount has been received. It is highly recommended that the Vendor selects to pay in the invoiced currency and to bear all banking costs when instructing their bank. Checks and similar means of payment are not accepted. Any missing amounts will be reminded by CEC Admin to the Vendor and provision of the CEC LCA Support Service will be delayed until any outstanding amounts, even if small, have been paid.

116 +The Vendor enters the following minimum information into the cecLQF:
117 +
118 +* Administrative information requested on the Coversheet of the cecLQF
119 +* The electricity consumption of the manufacturing site during the previous year
120 +* The amount of oil and natural gas used by the manufacturing site during the previous year
121 +* The number of products produced in the manufacturing site during the previous year
122 +* Information about each Layer or main component of the product, at least:
123 +** Supplier
124 +** Type
125 +** Dimensions
126 +** Weight
127 +** Shipping origin and destination, and means of transport
128 +
129 +The cecLQF allows for more detailed information, and providing more detailed information may result in better KPIs, but for Card Bodies, IC Cards, and Antenna Inlays the CEC Administration is usually able to determine sufficient KPIs from the data above.
130 +
131 +The cecLQF provides mechanisms to allow considering that parts of the building or the production equipment are not part of the production of the products subject to CEC Certification, though these require the Vendor to provide additional information.

134 +
135 +* IC - Integrated Circuits
136 +* ICM - IC Modules
137 +* Inlays including IC
