What is the ISO PAS 17712 standard?

ISO PAS 17712 is a standard procedure for mechanical seals of containers issued by the International Organization for Standardization. This standardized procedure will help companies in charge of sealing operations to effectively meet the high number of security and anti-theft challenges during transportation.

All containers that have adopted the ISO PAS 17712 sealing procedure will have a unique mark affixed to the closure to guarantee that it has indeed been sealed. In addition, the standard classifies the sealing procedures and uses different sealing marks for containers that are received or returned.

ISO PAS 17712, i.e. Container Mechanical Seals.

Standard procedures by the International Organization for Standardization.

All containers that have adopted the ISO PAS 17712 sealing procedure will have a unique mark affixed to the closure to guarantee that it has indeed been sealed.

In the ISO PAS 17712 standard, the following three types of seals are defined: indicative seals, security seals, and high-security seals. It is important to choose a high-security seal rather than a general security seal.

The difference between ISO17025 and CNAS lies in the different definitions, different roles and different accreditation bodies.

1. Different definitions:

ISO17025 is an international standard for laboratory accreditation services, the full name is ISO IEC17025:2005-5-15 "General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories";

CNAS is the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS), which is a national accreditation body approved and authorized by the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China in accordance with the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Certification and Accreditation.

2. Different roles:

iso17025：

1) Demonstrate that the laboratory has the technical ability to carry out calibration and testing in accordance with relevant international standards;

2) Enhance the competitiveness of the laboratory in the calibration and testing market, and win the trust of the first department and all walks of life;

3) Participate in bilateral and multilateral cooperation in international laboratory accreditation, which is more widely recognized.

CNAS: (1) In accordance with China's relevant laws and regulations, international and national standards and norms, establish and operate the national accreditation system for conformity assessment bodies, and formulate and issue normative documents such as rules, guidelines, guidelines and other normative documents for accreditation;

2) Carry out capacity evaluation for domestic and foreign conformity assessment bodies, make accreditation decisions, and conduct accreditation supervision and management of accredited conformity assessment bodies;

3) Responsible for the guidance, supervision and management of the use of the logo and accreditation logo of the accreditation committee;

4) Organize and carry out personnel training related to accreditation, and conduct qualification assessment and employment management of evaluation personnel.

3. Accreditation bodies are different:

ISO17025: China National Accreditation Service for Laboratories is the only laboratory accreditation body in China, which undertakes the ISO17025 standard accreditation of all laboratories in China;

The National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies of China (CNAB) is a national accreditation body authorized by the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China in accordance with the law, which is responsible for the qualification of certification bodies engaged in various management system certifications and product certifications.

One is the laboratory management system, and the other is the accreditation committee.

1. Open the official website of CNAS.

Nakuli clicks on the menu "CNAS Qualification Query", "CNAS Report Processing", "CNAS Qualification Processing";

2. Click "CNAS Qualification Query" to query the CNAS qualification scope and other information of relevant institutions;

3. Click "CNAS Report Handling" to understand the CNAS report handling process (sample product application CNAS test report);

4. Click "CNAS Qualification Handling Failure" to understand how the institution can handle the process of obtaining CNAS qualification (laboratory institutions apply for CNAS qualification);

CNAS is a large category, and ISO17025 is only the applicable standard for the certification of testing and calibration laboratories in CNAS; ISO15189 is the standard used in the certification of medical laboratories in CNAS;
