(ECCB: Milwaukee) -- The Electronic Components Certification Board (ECCB) and the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB) will partner to develop a program for accredited certification to ensure that manufacturers have effective processes for controlling the hazardous materials in their products. The program will be based on the IEC Quality Assessment System IECQ QC 080000 as implemented by QC 001002-5, resulting in IECQ, certificates that also bear the ANAB accreditation mark.

“By cooperating with ANAB to accredit certified bodies to the IECQ standard, ECCB is taking a path to expand its reach in a way that’s more efficient and cost effective for those we serve,” says Stanley Salot Jr., president of the ECCB.

Under the program, an ANAB-accredited certification body will be qualified to evaluate a supplier’s hazardous substances process management system (HSPM) and grant facility approval for the products concerned.

Consumers and retailers will be able to seek out goods bearing the accredited certification mark for IECQ-HSPM as an assurance of manufacturing processes free of hazardous substances.

IECQ developed the international IECQ QC 080000 specification, which takes the basic quality management system requirements of ISO 9001 and provides a specific focus for the legislative and customer requirements for the management of hazardous substances. ECCB is the U.S.-National Authorized Institute for IECQ.
