The process starts with the Vendor downloading the latest version of the CEC Query and Assessment Form ("cecQAF") here.
Rename the file to identify it as one from your company
Initial CEC Certification Request
The name of the downloaded file looks like this:
cecQAF v2as 2026-03-06 - VENDOR PRODTYPE - V0a XXX YYYY-MM-DD.xlsx
In this name, replace the information in the name of the downloaded file, identified in the left column, with the information identified in the right column:
| Replace this information | with this information |
| VENDOR | The name of your company, please shorten to a single word, for example if your company name is "Wonderful Security Printing Neverland Ltd", use "Wonderful" or an acronym like "WSPN". |
| PRODTYPE | The CEC Acronym for the product type the cecQAF is for, for example CB or ICC |
| V0a | This is the version of your file. For the initial submission, please leave it as V0a, but once at a later stage you modify the file, update the letter only, eg V0a to V0b. |
| XXX | Initials of the person having made the latest revision, for example change XXX to PP if your initials are PP because your name is Peter Parker |
| YYYY-MM-DD | The date of the latest modification in the ISO 1806 format. Replace YYYY with the year, MM with the Month, DD with the day of the latest revision you made to the file |
Renewal CEC Certification Request
If the Vendor has a cecQAF from a previous CEC Certification, then make a copy of the cecAQF received at the end of the previous certification and name it as follows:
With the generic format of thececQAF file being: cecQAF v2as 2026-03-06 - VENDOR PRODTYPE - V0a XXX YYYY-MM-DD.xlsx
Replace the information in the name of the renamed copy of the cecQAF resulting from the previous CEC Certitifcation, with the information identified in the right column:
| Replace this information | with this information |
| VENDOR | The name of your company, please shorten to a single word, for example if your company name is "Wonderful Security Printing Neverland Ltd", use "Wonderful" or an acronym like "WSPN". |
| PRODTYPE | The CEC Acronym for the product type the cecQAF is for, for example CB or ICC |
| V0a | This is the version of your file. For a renewal or to add products or sites or certificates, increment the numerical part by 1, and set the alphabetical part to a. For example, if your previous cecQAF had the name: cecQAF v2as 2026-03-06 - WSPN CB - V1c PP 2026-03-20.xlsx and hence the previous version number of the file was V9c, then change it to V10a. |
| XXX | Initials of the person having made the latest revision, for example change XXX to PP if your initials are PP because your name is Peter Parker |
| YYYY-MM-DD | The date of the latest modification in the ISO 1806 format. Replace YYYY with the year, MM with the Month, DD with the day of the latest revision you made to the file |
