12 +The cecQAF replaces a range of forms used in V1 of the CEC Certification Process and the optional LCA Support Process:
13 +
14 +* cecAOF - CEC Assessment Order Form - used to order a CEC Assessment
15 +* cecAP - CEC Assessment Plan - used to define the products to be assessed and to facilitate and formalize the CEC Assessment
16 +* cecLOF - CEC LCA Support Order Form - used to order LCA Support
17 +* cecLQF - CEC LCA Support Query Form - used to capture the input data for the CEC Indicator calculation
18 +* cecLCR - CEC LCA support Report form - used to communicate the results of the CEC Indicator calculation
19 +* cecLQRF - CEC LCA Query and Report from - used towards the end of CEC V1 to capture the input data for and communicate the results of the CEC Indicator calculation, replacing the separate cecLQF and cecLCR forms
20 +
21 +In addition, the cecQAF enables the following improvements considered in CEC V2 compared to the previous forms:
22 +
23 +* One form for multiple sites and multiple products, while previously each product and site combination had to be handled individually and required their own set of forms.
24 +* One form for multiple variants of a product, a case occurring for example when a second source for the overlay of a card was used, such construction with a second source overlay previously requiring its separate certification (and forms, and cost)
25 +* When using the same component in multiple sites, or for multiple products, the component data has only to be entered once, instead of previously into the forms for each product and site combination
26 +
27 +Therefor, while initially appearing intimidating to some, the use of the cecQAF should provide a range of improvements and simplifications for the Vendor.
