ISO PAS 17712:2013 Freight Containers - Mechanical Seals Certification: ISO 17712:2013 establishes uniform processes for the classification, receipt, and withdrawal of mechanical freight container seals. It offers a single source of information on mechanical seals which are satisfactory for securing freight containers in global commerce. What is new in ISO 17712:2013? Proof of tampering remains an essential area in the new edition, but there is a significant change in approach. The new edition addresses tampering via third party procedure inspections as part of the manufacturer’s ISO 9001 quality operational processes. ISO 17712 no longer needs third party laboratory testing against exact tamper related criteria. Instead, the necessity for tamper-related quality processes include internally-generated and -managed tests of tamper proof as part of a manufacturer’s documented quality program like ISO 9001. A manufacturer may choose to conduct the tamper-evident testing in-house or employ a third party laboratory. In any case the testing would be against the manufacturer’s test protocol and specification. Since Clause 6 has neither tamper-evident test procedures nor a necessity for accredited testing, an outside lab cannot certify conformance with ISO 17712 Clause 6. A third party lab in such a condition basically provides a lab report to its client. Benefits: Expand safety Extend correct collection of taxes and duties Get better border protection Important increase in inspection rate Minimize corruption Minimize container tampering and thefts Facilitate trade Speed up logistic processes For more details, visit - www.geotek.co.in

AMPP newly published standards! 🌟 We are pleased to announce the newly published standards, AMPP Guide 21529-2024, “Railcars: Calibration Requirements of Coating Application and Inspection Equipment.” This Guide was created as a process in the rail industry to standardize and document equipment used for the preparation, application, and inspection of coatings and linings along with the calibration intervals suggested for each piece of equipment. It also lists equipment that is not used to collect data in a quality control capacity and that would not require calibration. With this guide, you can align your internal processes for railcars to follow industry best practices. Get the Standards now! https://ow.ly/QrZJ50UAkhq #Standards #CoatingApplication #Coatings #AMPP

Embracing the Future: PPfSSA's Vision for ISO Welding Standards in South Africa At Polymers and Piping (fittings) Systems South Africa (PPfSSA), we believe in staying at the forefront of industry advancements. Today, we're excited to share a pivotal perspective on the future of welding standards in our nation's plastics and piping industry. In a recent professional opinion piece, our esteemed colleague Ian Venter articulated a compelling case for transitioning from our current SANS 1671-2 standard to the more comprehensive and globally recognized ISO/DIS 12176-2. This shift represents more than just a change in documentation—it's a gateway to enhanced quality, improved international competitiveness, and alignment with cutting-edge industry practices. As we stand at this crossroads, PPfSSA invites you to explore the rationale behind this proposed transition, its potential impacts, and the strategic approach we recommend for its implementation. In the following article, we'll delve into the key points of Ian's analysis and outline why this change is not only beneficial but essential for the continued growth and relevance of our industry in the global market. Let's embark on this journey towards innovation and excellence together, ensuring that South Africa's plastics and piping sector remains a beacon of quality and progress on the world stage. #PPfSSA #ISOStandards #WeldingStandards #PlasticsIndustry #PipingSystems #SouthAfricanIndustry #IndustryTransition #ISO12176 #SANS1671 #GlobalCompetitiveness #QualityAssurance #InternationalTrade #TechnologicalAdvancement #IndustryEducation #RegulatoryAlignment #ManufacturingStandards #IndustryBestPractices #PolyethyleneFittings #DataManagement #PerformanceTesting #IndustryModernization #SafetyStandards #EfficiencyImprovement #GlobalMarketAccess #InnovationInWelding #SustainableIndustryPractices #ContinuousImprovement #IndustryCollaboration #StandardsHarmonization #FutureOfManufacturing
