Product Design and Manufacturing Conformance Certification

This document defines the necessary processes for product design conformance certification (PDCC) and product manufacturing conformance certification (PMCC). This document also defines processes for an independent type conformance organization (ITCO) to perform PDCC and/or subsequent PMCC for the manufactured product to confirm that the design and/or manufacturing requirements are met. As part of this process, this document defines the requirements for the competence, consistent operation, and objectivity of the independent party who performs these activities.
