106	106	For each combination of Product and Site you request a new CEC Certificate for, enter the word "New" (without the quotes) into the cell in the column corresponding to the Site, and the row corresponding to the Product. You need to request a new CEC Certificate if the combination of Product and Site had not previously been CEC Certified.
107	107
	118	+Every CEC Certificate requested as a result from this process must be correctly specified at this point in time. Additional Certificates will require completing a new cecQAF once this one has been processed.

	122	+To prepare the CEC Assessment, the Vendor needs to provide accurate information about the Components, Sites, and Products.

	124	+This information will be verified during the CEC Assessment.

	126	+The Vendor is not permitted to make changes less than 5 working days before the scheduled start of the CEC Assessment.

	128	+The subsequent sections give guidance for entering the required information into the worksheet named in the heading of each section.

	130	+== Coversheet ==
	131	+
	132	+Verify the information in the Coversheet Section 1a.
	133	+
	134	+If not completed already, select the correct Unit in the tow "Unit for the Functional Unit":
	135	+
	136	+* "card" for card bodies, IC Cards, personalisation solutions
	137	+* IC for Integrated Circuits
	138	+* ICM for IC Modules
	139	+* kg for plastic films and plastic resins
	140	+* If you are uncertain what to choose, e-mail [[contact@cecocert.com>>mailto:contact@cecocert.com]]
	141	+
	142	+Follow the instructions in section 1c.
	143	+
	144	+== Components worksheet ==
	145	+
	146	+Enter information for each component that is part of a product the Vendor intends to receive a CEC Certificate for.
	147	+
	148	+All blue columns except the CEC Claim ID column must be completed.
	149	+
	150	+In the CEC Claim ID column enter the CEC Claim ID granted to your supplier for this component. Check with your supplier if the component is CEC certified. If the component is not CEC certified, then leave the cell empty.
	151	+
	152	+The information must be correct for the CEC Assessment to be successful.
	153	+
	154	+== Products worksheet ==
	155	+
	156	+For each Product the Vendor intends to receive a CEC Certificate for, enter:
	157	+
	158	+* the Name of the Product, this is the name your company assigns to the product, for example the commercial name your company intends to market the product under. This name will be used to identify the product on the CEC Certificate.
	159	+* Select the components each Product consists of, using the pull-down menu in each cell. This is the construction that will be assessed during the CEC Assessment.
	160	+* If you have multiple card constructions to make one product, for example you use overlay from different suppliers when making a card, then define your primary construction (the one sold in the highest volume, or the one initially qualified) as the Product in column C, and the variants in columns D to H. Note that you will just receive one CEC Certificate for a product including its Variants, reflecting the worst case.
	161	+
	162	+== Sites worksheet ==
	163	+
	164	+For each Site the Vendor intends to receive a CEC Certificate for, verify the requested data, including the name and address for each site.
	165	+
	166	+This information will be used on the CEC Certificates for this site.

	168	+== Certificates worksheet ==
	169	+
	170	+Verify the information already entered into the worksheet. E-mail [[contact@cecocert.com>>mailto:contact@cecocert.com]] regarding changes or corrections you think you need to make to this worksheet.

	172	+== Recycling worksheet ==
	173	+
	174	+=== Production waste recycling quota ===
	175	+
	176	+==== Information to enter ====
	177	+
	178	+If you recycle the production waste from producing a specific Product in a specific Site, and you request CEC Certification for the Product and Site combination, then you can enter the recycling quota in % for the production waste.
	179	+
	180	+The recycling quota is the recycled mass from the production waste specific from producing that type of product (for example PVC card) divided by the total mass of the production waste from producing that type of product.
	181	+
	182	+Note that production waste containing plastic material usually has to be sorted by material type (PVC, PET, PETG) to allow for effective recycling.
	183	+
	184	+During the CEC Assessment the feasability of the recycling approach is verified.
	185	+
	186	+==== Evidence to retain for the assessment ====
	187	+
	188	+You need to demonstrate the following to have your claims for recycling accepted:
	189	+
	190	+* You maintain records about your production waste, including waste categories differentiating different types of plastics (unless you only use one type of plastic) and other materials (like paper or packaging materials)
	191	+* The amounts of production waste you claim are recylced correlate reasonably with the amounts of waste expected from your production, for example for card producers the amounts of waste resulting from rejects and punch grids/skeletons
	192	+* You have evidence of shipping the correct amounts of material to your recycling provider
	193	+* Your recycling provider confirms receipt of the amounts
	194	+* Your recycling provider provides evidence about the recycling process and the products your production waste is recycled into
	195	+
	196	+=== Product EOL waste recycling quota ===
	197	+
	198	+==== Information to enter ====
	199	+
	200	+If you recycle the product waste at end of life of a specific Product produced in a specific Site, and you request CEC Certification for the Product and Site combination, then you can enter the recycling quota in % for the Product EOL waste.
	201	+
	202	+
	203	+The recycling quota is the recycled mass from the production waste specific from producing that type of product (for example PVC card) divided by the total mass of the production waste from producing that type of product.
