	8	+The cecQAF (CEC Query and Assessment Form) is central to the CEC Certification Process.
7	7
	10	+After signing the NDA, the cecQAF is used progressively throughout the CEC Certification Process of a Vendor's sustainable product, throughout the different phases of the CEC Certification Process:
8	8
	12	+|=Phase|=Function of the cecQAF|=
	13	+|Ordering CEC Services|Define the products and sites the vendor wants to subject to CEC Certification, and for which Product and Site combination the Vendor requests CEC Certificates|
	14	+|Preparation of the CEC Assessment|Capture the data for the Production Sites and Components, such as electricity consumption of each production site, number of product produced by each production site, sustainable content, mass, and dimensions of each Component, transport distances and types of transport (road, sea, air)|
	15	+|CEC Assessment|Record |
	16	+
	17	+The cecQAF replaces a range of forms used in V1 of the CEC Certification Process and the optional LCA Support Process:
	18	+
	19	+* cecAOF - CEC Assessment Order Form - used to order a CEC Assessment
	20	+* cecAP - CEC Assessment Plan - used to define the products to be assessed and to facilitate and formalize the CEC Assessment
	21	+* cecLOF - CEC LCA Support Order Form - used to order LCA Support
	22	+* cecLQF - CEC LCA Support Query Form - used to capture the input data for the CEC Indicator calculation
	23	+* cecLCR - CEC LCA support Report form - used to communicate the results of the CEC Indicator calculation
	24	+* 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
	25	+
	26	+In addition, the cecQAF enables the following improvements considered in CEC V2 compared to the previous forms:
	27	+
	28	+* 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.
	29	+* 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)
	30	+* 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
	31	+
	32	+Therefor, while initially appearing intimidating to some, the use of the cecQAF should provide a range of improvements and simplifications for the Vendor.
	33	+
	34	+If you have feedback regarding this form, or these instructions, please email them to [[contact@cecocert.com>>mailto:contact@cecocert.com]].

	36	+The instructions described subsequently are grouped firstly by the Phase and then by the worksheet the Vendor has to complete.

	42	+To request CEC Certification Services, the Vendor must enter information into the following worksheets in the cecQAF:
	43	+
	44	+* Coversheet
	45	+* Components
	46	+* Products
	47	+* Sites
	48	+* Certificates
	49	+
	50	+Once the Vendor entered the required information into the Worksheets, the Vendor must:
	51	+
	52	+* save the cecQAF to their computer,
	53	+* name it according to the cecQAF Naming Convention,
	54	+* and send it to [[contact@cecocert.com>>mailto:contact@cecocert.com]]
