3.
Check internally your products with the requirements in
EN12975 and/or EN12976
You need a quality management system. An ISO 9001
certification fulfils requirements – but less can do, –
check requirements with the certification body you
intend to use
Choose test lab
Choose certification body
Fill out application form
Beware that not all certification bodies have agreements with
all test labs – but normally such an agreement can be
established quite fast

Inspector will sample product(s) for testing – samples
shall be taken from normal production line or stock
(special production of test samples not allowed !)
Inspector will inspect quality management system
Test lab will conduct tests
If everything is OK, the certification body grants you the
right to use the Keymark on your products

Solar Keymark – How to maintain the license?
J.E. Nielsen, SolarKey Int.
Maintaining the license is simple !
Solar
1.
Be ready for annual inspection of quality management
system
2.
Be ready for biannual ”surveillance test”. This
surveillance test is in fact a detailed inspection of the
product: Is the product produced still the same as the
product tested?
3.
Pay your annual fees !
