2.0 Scope
This voluntary certification program, administered by the Safety Equipment Institute (SEI), is available to
any manufacturer of safety equipment which produces products for the North American market and
applies to have its product models certified by SEI. Participation in the SEI program is open on a non-
discriminatory basis to all manufacturers.
SEI shall operate in accordance with U.S and Canadian Federal, Provincial and Municipal laws and
regulations administered by the regulatory authorities.
All product testing is in accordance with applicable voluntary, government or other product
performance standards as recognized by SEI. The certification testing and quality assurance audits will
be conducted by independent third parties under contract to SEI. SEI does not influence the testing or
quality assurance auditing of any product model. Those decisions are made by independent Testing
Laboratories and Quality Assurance Auditors. SEI accepts responsibility for these entities, and the final
decision on all product certification issues rests with SEI.
All fees under the voluntary certification program will be paid to SEI, including the charges for testing
and quality assurance audits. SEI will administer the program.
SEI shall certify the manufacturer’s product model(s) and grant the right to use the SEI certification mark
when:
1) the Testing Laboratory has determined that the product model submitted and tested
successfully meets the appropriate product standard,
2) the Quality Assurance Auditor has determined that the manufacturer complies with SEI quality
assurance requirements through an on-site audit, including a review of the quality manual and
procedures
3) the manufacturer has paid all fees
4) product liability insurance requirements are met.
Following initial certification, all product models are tested, at least, annually and are selected by the SEI
auditor, when available, during the annual quality assurance audit.
SEI and the independent third parties retained by SEI will not accept any responsibility for product
liability. This responsibility rests solely with the manufacturer who has agreed to hold the SEI Testing
Laboratory, the Quality Assurance organization, and the SEI Directors, Officers and Staff harmless and
indemnify them against all claims pursuant to the terms set forth in the Manufacturer’s Agreement. See
Section 3: Manufacturer’s Agreement of this manual.

In order to avoid confusion, the SEI certification mark used on component models shall be different from the SEI certification mark used on finished product models. Section 17: Use of SEI Certification Mark of this manual provides specific details regarding component model certification and the use of the SEI certification mark for components.
8.2 Special Process Certifications - New Standards
When required product performance is changed through the use of a new, revised or different standard, SEI views the testing and recertification as an initial certification. In that case, suitable grandfathering will be provided to permit an orderly transition both by users and manufacturers. See Section 5: Selection of Standards of this manual.
Upon certifying models to a new standard for the first time (i.e., a new certification program or revised standard) SEI will grant all participating manufacturers a fair and equal opportunity to obtain certification. When feasible, SEI will announce a date by which time all applicants must apply in order to receive certification by a specified date.

Revision Date: 09.09.14 Date of Issue: 01.12.12
15.0 Nonconformance/ Departure, Potential Hazard, and Complaints Received by SEI Filed Against Certified Products
A. A nonconformance to product standard(s) will be categorized, according to its potential effect on the end-user as (1) Critical, (2) Major A, (3) Major B (4) Minor, (5) NOCSAE Critical, or (6) NOCSAE Non-Critical as defined below and as specified in the Attributes & Variables portion of this manual for each program in which the manufacturer participates:
1) Critical A nonconformance that judgment and experience indicate is likely to result in a condition immediately hazardous to life or health for individuals using or depending upon the device.
2) Major A A nonconformance, other than critical, that is likely to result in failure to the degree that the device does not provide protection, or a nonconformance that reduces protection and is not readily detectable by the user.
3) Major B A nonconformance, other than Major A or critical, that is likely to result in reduced protection and is readily detectable by the user.
4) Minor A nonconformance that is not likely to reduce materially the protection provided by the device for its intended purpose, or a nonconformance that is a departure from established standards and has little bearing on the effective use of operation of the device.
5) NOCSAE Critical (pertains to the NOCSAE Athletic Equipment Program) Demonstrate at least three standard deviations in cases where statistical control can be documented, or four standard deviations in cases where statistical control cannot be documented.
6) NOCSAE Non-Critical (pertains to the NOCSAE Athletic Equipment Program) Demonstrate at least two standard deviations in cases where statistical control can be documented, or two and one-half standard deviations in cases where statistical control cannot be documented.
B. Once product models have been certified, the testing laboratory will assess nonconformance from product standard(s) as a result of their findings.
C. Once the quality system has been approved, the severity of departures from that system will be assessed by the Quality Assurance Auditor as described in the Quality Assurance section of this manual.
D. In the case of a Minor nonconformance, no action will be taken by SEI provided the manufacturer corrects the nonconformance within sixty (60) days.

16.2 Involuntary
A. Grounds for SEI initiating withdrawal of certification: 1) Misuse of SEI certification mark; 2) Failure to meet the quality assurance requirements; 3) Failure to have products conform to model tested and certified; 4) Where it is established through an SEI investigation that a hazard is involved with a
certified product; 5) Failure to pay undisputed fees within sixty (60) days from the date of receipt by the
manufacturer. B. Whenever product testing, SEI certification mark monitoring or quality assurance audits reveal
that the manufacturer has failed to comply with the requirements of the SEI certification program or certification scheme/standard, the manufacturer shall receive notice which shall specify the requirements not being met, the specific corrective action to be taken and the time frame within which such action must be taken. This notice shall be sent by SEI on the basis of findings and conclusions made by the Testing Laboratory and/or the Quality Assurance Auditor, where appropriate.
C. Upon receipt of such notice, the manufacturer shall have the opportunity to present any test data, other evidence, or argument in its behalf. Based upon the manufacturer's presentation and the evidence that supports the noncompliance, SEI shall determine whether the affected products are in full compliance with the certification scheme/standard(s), and/or quality assurance requirements. SEI shall provide notice to the manufacturer within ten (10) working days following the meeting, or after submission of written material, whichever occurs last.
D. If receipt of evidence and corrective action by the manufacturer and, including results from retesting and/or quality assurance auditing, demonstrate that the noncompliance involved has been corrected, SEI shall notify the manufacturer that it is authorized to continue use of the SEI certification mark on the model(s) in question provided those products continue to satisfy the testing and quality assurance requirements of the SEI certification program.
E. The manufacturer may appeal the decision withdrawing SEI certification, as specified in the Appeals Section of this Manual.
F. Effective upon receipt by the manufacturer of a denial of its appeal or after the lapse of time for such an appeal, the manufacturer shall cease and desist use or reference to the SEI certification mark in the manufacture, marketing and distribution of its products affected in the appeal.
G. If any manufacturer fails to pay the fees and assessments owed to SEI within thirty (30) days, or ten (10) days in the case of an Appeals Board billing, SEI shall notify the manufacturer in writing of such default and issue a letter withdrawing certification of the affected product(s).
G. Non-payment of undisputed fees and charges within sixty (60) days of the date on which the statement is received from SEI, that is not cured within ten (10) days following written notice of such failure, or other material breach that is not cured within thirty (30) days following written

notice from the non-breaching party, shall constitute cause for termination. In the event Manufacturer disputes any fees and charges, it shall notify SEI of such dispute, in writing, and within sixty (60) days following the receipt of SEI’s billing statement. The failure to timely dispute any such billing from SEI, shall be deemed a waiver of any such dispute.
H. If an SEI request to the manufacturer to terminate use of the SEI certification mark becomes final and binding, the manufacturer shall terminate use of the SEI certification mark with respect to the particular products involved effective immediately upon receipt of notice from SEI. The Confirmation of Involuntary Withdrawal of SEI Certified Product form in Section 16.5 shall be used for this purpose. For a reasonable period time, SEI or its authorized representative shall have access to the manufacturer's premises and records to verify that the SEI mark is not being affixed to or used in connection with any such products.
I. Upon termination of the Manufacturer's Agreement, the manufacturer shall discontinue at once all use of the SEI certification mark, except in the instance where termination is not related to failure to comply with applicable standards and/or quality assurance requirements, in which case the provisions of paragraph 16.1 B above shall apply.

Section 17: Use of SEI Certification Mark
Revision Date: 04.01.14
Date of Issue: 01.12.12
1 of 5
17.0 Use of SEI Certification Mark
Once a manufacturer has received its certification letter authorizing use of the SEI mark, the
manufacturer can begin using the SEI mark on the certified product. Additionally many companies will
choose to place the SEI mark on their labels, brochures, cartons and other materials. Some performance
standards require that it be on labels and in the technical data package.
Use of logos of voluntary standards organizations (i.e., ANSI, NFPA, etc.) or government standards
making bodies are not allowed by those groups. Reference to the latest standards of those bodies must
be on the label as indicated in each standard.
17.1 General Requirements
A. The SEI certification mark shall be used and reproduced in a consistent format that makes the
mark easily identifiable wherever it appears.
B. The manufacturer shall use the SEI certification mark only to identify those products actually
conforming to models that have been successfully tested by the testing laboratory to meet the
applicable product standard(s) and which also conform to models verified by the Quality
Auditor to meet quality assurance requirements.
C. The manufacturer shall use the SEI certification mark and the SEI name, abbreviation, design or
symbol, or any other form of reference which may be interpreted to mean Safety Equipment
Institute only in such form or manner as set forth below or otherwise expressly authorized in
writing by SEI in advance. A copy of the SEI approval shall be kept on file by the participant.
D. SEI, as part of its program of monitoring proper use of the mark, will routinely review
advertisements, catalogs and sample products to confirm compliant use of the mark.
Additionally, during SEI audits, SEI quality auditors shall review participant’s use of the SEI
mark, and bring to SEI’s attention any potential incorrect use.
17.2 SEI Certification Mark
A. Below is an example of the SEI Certification Mark*:
Certified Model
*When marking a small item such as a spectacle temple, the SEI mark may be used by itself on the product
providing the packaging displays the SEI mark and “Certified Model (name of standard).”
SEI Certification Program Manual
Section 17: Use of SEI Certification Mark
Revision Date: 04.01.14
Date of Issue: 01.12.12
2 of 5
B. In using the SEI certification mark, the manufacturer shall faithfully reproduce it and shall not
alter the mark in any way. Whenever used, the SEI certification mark must be legible.
C. With regard to components, the manufacturer shall use a different certification mark, as
specified in Section 17.6: Component Model Certification.
D. Examples of Correct & Incorrect Uses of the SEI Certification Mark***
Examples of Correct Use:
Certified Model (Name of Standard) ** Cert. Mod. (Name of Standard)**
Certified Model
(Name of Standard) ** Cert. Mod. (Name of Standard)**

Section 17: Use of SEI Certification Mark
Revision Date: 04.01.14
Date of Issue: 01.12.12
3 of 5
Examples of Incorrect Use:
Certified Approved Products Certified
**Name of Standard is the designation of standard and year of approval (i.e., NFPA 1981-2007 edition, ASTM
F1163-04a, etc.)
***For product(s) certified to an NFPA standard, the SEI Mark must accompany the compliance statement
required by the respective NFPA standard. In these cases, it is not necessary to include the wording “Certified
Model (Name of Standard)” or “Cert. Mod. (Name of Standard)” adjacent to the SEI Mark.
17.3 Advertising and Promotional Literature
A. The manufacturer shall not advertise, publicize or promote its products in such a manner as to
indicate that SEI approves or certifies any individual product or that SEI makes any other
representation or certification with respect to individual products to which the mark is affixed.
SEI does not approve or certify specific products. SEI does not certify that a product model
meets the requirements of the specified standard.
B. The manufacturer may display the SEI certification mark or logo in any advertising or
promotional material only in connection with product models certified by SEI.
17.4 Misuse
A. Misuse of the SEI certification mark and refusal to take corrective action constitutes cause to
initiate procedures to withdraw certification and the right to use the mark on affected products.
B. Care must be taken that the certification mark is not used to convey misleading or incorrect
information. For example, use of the SEI certification mark in an advertisement depicting four
hard hats, three of which depict models certified by SEI, would be misleading unless an
explanation is given that only three of those models depicted are certified by SEI. Similarly,
where a manufacturer has several product lines, some of which may not be part of the SEI
SEI Certification Program Manual
Section 17: Use of SEI Certification Mark
Revision Date: 04.01.14
Date of Issue: 01.12.12
4 of 5
certification program, use of the SEI certification mark in connection with all the product lines
would be misleading and incorrect. The above examples are two instances of misuse of the SEI
certification mark.
17.5 Mandatory Use
The SEI mark identifying certification by SEI is mandatory on all certifications where required by product
standards (i.e., NFPA safety and protective equipment standards, CAN/CSA Z94.3-07, etc.).
Requirements for style (i.e., height, font, etc.) as stated in the standard shall be reviewed for compliance
by SEI. SEI shall allow for exceptions to Section 17.2: SEI Certification Mark when a product standard
requires such an exception, and the exception is approved by SEI per Section 17.1: General
Requirements subpart C.
17.6 Component Model Certification
Components (i.e., lenses used in eye and face protection devices and D-rings used in fall protection
products) may be submitted for component model certification, so that when such components are
used in several products, the repetition of all tests will not be necessary. In general, a change from one
certified component model to another is considered a Class II change, one that should not require a new
model designation for the finished product.
If the manufacturer of a certified component model elects to place the SEI certification mark on the
component, the mark shall be as shown below, distinctive from the SEI certification mark used on
product models. The component model certification mark shall emphasize that the entire product is not
necessarily an SEI certified model. For example:
xxx* Certified Model- Z87.1-2010 or xxx* Cert. Mod.- Z87.1-2010
*Where xxx is replaced with the name of the component (i.e., lens, D-ring, etc.)
An SEI certified component model shall be a completed component which does not require further
processing prior to insertion into a protective device. If, however, a certified component model is
altered in any way prior to inclusion in the finished product, further tests shall be required. In general, if
a participating manufacturer purchases components that are SEI certified component models for use in
product models, it may not be necessary to have the component-only testing repeated.

17.7 SEI Mark for Canada
SEI is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) as a Certification Body. To help Canadian
regulatory authorities and others readily identify those products SEI has certified specifically to Canadian
standards, SEI provides a unique mark for Canada, the c-SEI Mark below.
C
With the addition of the Canadian identifier, all requirements stated in this section are applicable to use
of the c-SEI Mark. The Canadian identifier shall be a lower case letter “c” placed in the eight o’clock
position next to the SEI mark. It shall be clearly distinguishable and in no case shall its height be less than
1 mm.
17.8 Optional Label for Equestrian Body Protector Certification Program
The following representation has been approved for use as the SEI official sewn-in label to be displayed
on the outside of equestrian protective vest models that have been certified by SEI in accordance with
ASTM F1937-04, Standard Specification for Body Protectors Used in Horse Sports and Horseback Riding.
This official sewn-in label has been developed for promotional purposes only to provide uniformity in
displaying the certification of equestrian protective vests among participants in the SEI Certification
Program for Equestrian Body Protectors. This does not replace any labeling requirements.
Manufacturers shall comply with all labeling requirements in accordance with ASTM F1937-04, Standard
Specification for Body Protectors Used in Horse Sports and Horseback Riding. Use of this label is optional;
however, when a promotional sewn-in label is used on the outside of the vest, it shall be made in
accordance with the following representation and guidelines. The logo shall be Pantone 542 and the
outline and words are Pantone 430 or black. A white or off-white background shall be used.

SEI Certification Program Manual
Section 18: Recall Procedures Revision Date: 09.09.14
Date of Issue: 01.12.12
18.0 Recall Procedures
SEI recall procedures are adapted from FDA Procedure published as 21 CFR Part 7, Subpart C-Recalls (Including Product Corrections) – Guidelines on Policy, Procedures and Industry Responsibilities.
18.1 Recall Policy
SEI participants shall have a recall procedure in place that has been approved by an SEI Technical Director. (See Section 18.10: SEI Recall Policy Evaluation Checklist that will be used in evaluating recall policies submitted to SEI by participants.) Subsequent changes to the SEI-approved recall procedure shall also be approved by an SEI Technical Director. SEI’s auditor will periodically review the recall policy during audit visits.
Under the SEI Certification Program, the manufacturer retains complete control over the quality and integrity of its products, which includes administering recalls. The manufacturer is free at any time to undertake a voluntary recall of products for any reason. Such responsible action on the part of manufacturers is highly desired and beneficial to the SEI program. However, it is recognized that in some extreme circumstances, SEI may request a recall or other actions as are appropriate. Such actions will be requested only in the most urgent situations when (1) the testing laboratory has determined that a Critical or Major A nonconformance exists, (2) the Quality Assurance Auditor concurs in the evaluation and (3) SEI and the manufacturer agree that a recall of the affected product models is necessary to ensure the welfare of the user, the integrity and reputation of the SEI program and all participating manufacturers. Where a manufacturer does not agree that a recall is necessary, SEI shall take steps to withdraw certification of the affected product model in accordance with Section 15.L.
In cases where a certified product is regulated by a government agency such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) or the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH), the recall requirements of the applicable government agency will take precedence.
18.2 Evaluation of Product Nonconformance
An evaluation of the product being recalled or considered for recall will be conducted by the testing laboratory and/ or Quality Assurance Auditor, and will be based on the Attributes and Variables in the Programs Section of this manual.
18.3 Recall Strategy
A. A recall strategy that takes into account the following factors will be developed by the recalling firm to suit the individual circumstances of the particular recall:
1. Evaluation of product nonconformance
1 of 8
SEI Certification Program Manual
Section 18: Recall Procedures Revision Date: 09.09.14
Date of Issue: 01.12.12
2. Ease in identifying product 3. Degree to which the product nonconformance is obvious to the user 4. Degree to which the product remains unused in the marketplace 5. Continued availability of essential products
B. SEI will review the adequacy of a proposed recall strategy developed by a recalling firm and
recommend changes as appropriate. A recalling firm should conduct the recall in accordance with an approved recall strategy but need not delay initiation of a recall pending review of its recall strategy.
18.3.1 Elements of a Recall Strategy
A recall strategy will address the following elements regarding the conduct of the recall:
A. Depth of Recall Depending on the product’s degree of hazard and the extent of distribution, the recall strategy will specify the level in the distribution chain to which the recall is to extend.
B. Public Warning The purpose of a public warning is to alert users and their employers that a product being recalled presents a serious hazard to health/ safety. It is reserved for urgent situations where other means for preventing use of the recalled product appear inadequate. The recalling firm that decides to issue its own public warning is required to submit its proposed public warning and plan for distribution of the warning for review and comment by SEI. The recall strategy will specify whether a public warning is needed and whether it will issue as:
1. General public warning through the general news media, either national or local as appropriate, or
2. Public warning through specialized news media, e.g., professional or trade press, or to specific segments of the population such as municipal fire departments, trade associations, labor organizations, etc.
C. Effectiveness Checks The purpose of effectiveness checks is to verify that all consignees at the recall depth specified by the strategy have received notification about the recall and have taken appropriate action. The method for contacting consignees may be accomplished by personal visits, telephone calls, letters or a combination thereof. The recalling firm will ordinarily be responsible for conducting effectiveness checks, but SEI will assist in this task where necessary and appropriate. The recall
2 of 8
SEI Certification Program Manual
Section 18: Recall Procedures Revision Date: 09.09.14
Date of Issue: 01.12.12
strategy will specify the method(s) to be used for contacting consignees and the level of effectiveness checks that will be conducted, as follows:
• Level A 100 percent of the total number of consignees to be contacted
• Level B Some percentage of the total number of consignees to be contacted, which percentage is to be determined on a case-by-case basis, but is greater than ten (10) and less than 100 percent of the total number of consignees
• Level C Ten (10) percent of the total number of consignees to be contacted
• Level D Two (2) percent of the total number of consignees to be contacted
• Level E No effectiveness checks.
18.4 SEI Requested Recall
A. SEI may request a firm to initiate a recall or other actions as appropriate when the following determinations have been made:
1. That a product has been distributed and has been determined to have a Critical or Major A nonconformance as defined in Section 15: Nonconformance/ Departure, Potential Hazard, and Complaints Received by SEI Filed Against Certified Products of this manual;
2. That the firm has not initiated a recall of the product; and
3. That SEI action is necessary to protect the health and safety of users.
B. SEI will notify the firm of this determination and of the need to begin immediately a recall of the product. Such notification will be by letter or email to a responsible official of the firm, but may be preceded by oral communication or by a visit from an authorized representative of SEI with formal, written confirmation from the President of SEI afterward. The notification will specify the nonconformance of the product, the request for the recall strategy and other appropriate instructions for conducting the recall.
C. Upon receipt of such notification, the firm may be asked to provide SEI with any or all of the information listed in Section 18.3: Recall Strategy, and other information as requested by SEI.

18.5 Firm Initiated Recall
See Section 15: Nonconformance/ Departure, Potential Hazard, and Complaints Received by SEI Against Certified Products of this manual.
18.6 Recall Communications
A recalling firm is responsible for promptly identifying each of its affected direct accounts about the recall. The format, content and extent of a recall communication should be commensurate with the hazard of the product being recalled and the strategy developed for that recall. In general terms, the purpose of a recall communication is to convey:
A. That the product in question is subject to a recall
B. That further distribution or use of the remaining product should cease immediately
C. Where appropriate, that the direct account should in turn, notify its customers who received the product about the recall
D. Instructions regarding what to do with the product
18.6.1 Implementation
A recall communication can be accomplished by telegrams, mailgrams, or first class letters conspicuously marked, preferably in bold red type, on the letter and the envelope: “Recall (or Correction)”. The letter and the envelope should also be marked “URGENT”, when appropriate. Telephone calls or other personal contacts should ordinarily be confirmed by one of the above methods and/ or documented in the appropriate manner.
18.6.2 Contents
A. A “sample” recall communication document shall be included as part of each participant’s Recall Policy. This “sample” document could then be used and/ or modified to suit the particular circumstances should the need ever arise to initiate a recall.
B. A recall communication document shall be written in accordance with the following minimum requirements:
1. Be brief and to the point
2. Identify clearly the product, size, lot number(s), code(s) or serial number(s) and other pertinent descriptive information to enable accurate and immediate identification of the product
4 of 8
SEI Certification Program Manual
Section 18: Recall Procedures Revision Date: 09.09.14
Date of Issue: 01.12.12
3. Explain concisely the reason for the recall and the hazard involved, if any
4. Provide specific instructions on what should be done with respect to the recalled product; and
5. Provide a ready means for the receipt of the communication to report to the recalling firm whether it has any of the product, e.g., by sending a postage-paid, self-addressed postcard or by allowing the recipient to place a collect call to the recalling firm.
C. The recall communication document should not contain any irrelevant qualification, promotional materials, or any other statement that may distract from the message. Where necessary, follow-up communications should be sent to those who fail to respond to the initial recall communication.
18.6.3 Responsibility of Recipient
A consignee that receives a recall communication should immediately carry out the instructions set forth by the recalling firm and, where necessary, extend the recall to its consignees in accordance with Section 18.6 (c).
18.7 Recall Status Report
A. The recalling firm is requested to submit periodic recall status reports to SEI so that the progress of the recall may be addressed. The frequency of such reports will be determined by the relative urgency of the recall and will be specified by SEI in each recall case.
B. Unless otherwise specified or inappropriate in a given recall case, the recall status report should contain the following information:
1. Number of consignees notified of the recall, and the date and method of information.
2. Number of consignees responding to the recall communication and quantity of products on hand at the time it was received.
3. Number of consignees that did not respond (if needed, the identity of non-responding consignees may be requested by SEI).
4. Number of products returned or corrected by each consignee contacted and the quantity of products accounted for
5. Number and result of the effectiveness checks that were made.
6. Estimated time frame for completion of the recall

Date of Issue: 01.12.12
C. Recall status reports are to be discontinued when the recall is terminated by SEI.
18.8 Termination of a Recall
A. A recall will be terminated when SEI determines that all reasonable efforts have been made to remove or correct the product in accordance with the recall strategy, and when it is reasonable to assume that the product subject to recall has been removed and proper disposition or correction is commensurate with the degree of hazard of the recalled product. Written notification that a recall is terminated will be issued by SEI to the recalling firm.
B. A recalling firm may request termination of its recall by submitting a written request to SEI stating that the recall is effective in accordance with the criteria set forth in paragraph A of this section, and by accompanying the request with the most current recall status report and a description of the disposition of the recalled product.
18.9 General Industry Guidance
A recall can be disruptive of a firm’s operation and business, but there are several steps a prudent firm can take in advance to minimize this disruptive effect. The following is provided by SEI as guidance for a firm’s consideration:
A. Prepare and maintain a current written contingency plan for use in initiating and effecting a recall in accordance with Paragraphs 18.1 through 18.8.
B. Use sufficient coding of certified products to make possible positive lot identification and to facilitate effective recall of all affected lots.
C. Maintain such product distribution records as are necessary to facilitate location of products that are being recalled. Such records should be maintained for a period of time that exceeds the shelf life and expected use of the product and is at least the length of time specified in other applicable regulations concerning records retention.

20.1 Certification Submittal Package
A Certification Submittal Package shall include an SEI Certification Submittal form (see Section 20A: SEI
Certification Submittal Form) and a Components & Materials Description Checklist form (see Section
20B: General Components & Materials Description Checklist) for each product model, variant or
accessory being submitted. Completion of the submittal package serves four primary purposes:
1. The submittal package provides SEI and the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor with a
description of new, modified or products to be selected for annual certification.
2. The information provided by the manufacturer in the submittal package confirms to SEI
the product design and components.
3. Receipt of the submittal package by the testing laboratory, from SEI, serves as the
laboratory’s authorization to begin testing the product(s) and allows laboratory
personnel to verify that the correct product samples have been received.
4. The return of a signed copy of the submittal form from the testing laboratory provides
SEI with a record of the date testing was completed on the product model.
Over the life of the product, subsequent submittal packages shall document that the product model
submitted for certification testing is identical to samples previously tested, except where Class I model
changes have been tested and documented through the submission of additional SEI submittal packages
or documented Class II changes have been made. It is therefore necessary that each submittal to SEI
include sufficient product description information, which is achieved by a complete components and
materials listing to uniquely and unambiguously identify the product model in question (see Section 14:
Product Changes).
SEI Certification Submittal Form
Each submittal must be identified on the submittal form as either (1) initial certification, (2) annual
recertification, (3) Class I change, or (4) Class II change. Finished product manufacturing facilities
(assembly) located at a different address (i.e., suppliers or company-owned factories) shall be identified
in Section 3 of the submittal form. The SEI Certification Submittal Form shall be signed by the authorized
manufacturer representative within the participating company having the authority to authorize
expenditures for testing.

fulfill some or all other requirements noted above. In the case of annual recertification, the
appropriate documents (i.e., submittal form and components & materials listing or BOM) shall
be prepared prior to the sample selection audit and available to the auditor during the audit for
reference and confirmation of product.
E. Confidentiality
All product information received by SEI staff, the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor, or the SEI

20.2 Definition of a “Model”
“Model” is the collective term used to identify a group of protective devices of the same basic design
and components from a single applicant produced by the same manufacturing and quality assurance
procedures that are covered by the same certification. Any characteristic that affects the device’s
performance under the limits of the current certification standards constitutes a different model. For
purposes of the SEI Certification Program, the above definition of the term “model” uses performance
characteristics as the basic criteria.

23.2 Definition of a “Model”
“Model” is the collective term used to identify a group of protective devices of the same basic design
and components from a single applicant produced by the same manufacturing and quality assurance
procedures that are covered by the same certification. Any characteristic that affects the device’s
performance under the limits of the current certification standards constitutes a different model. For
purposes of the SEI Certification Program, the above definition of the term “model” uses performance
characteristics as the basic criteria.
A. Definition of Model
Characteristics that should affect the model’s ability to meet the performance requirements of
the certification standard and therefore require a new model designation:
1. Basic raw material
2. Suspensions (materials or type)
3. Mechanisms for attaching accessories
Characteristics that should not affect the model’s ability to meet the performance requirements
of the certification standard and therefore would not require a new model designation:
1. Color
2. Size
3. Same generic raw materials from different sources of supply
4. Suspension orientation
B. Examples of Major components
1. Outer shell
2. Inner impact liner
3. Retention and/or suspension systems components

25.1 Certification Submittal Package
A Certification Submittal Package shall include an SEI Certification Submittal form (see Section 25A: SEI
Certification Submittal Form), a Components & Materials Description Checklist form (see Section 25B:
General Components & Materials Description Checklist) and a User Guide and Label Checklist form (see
Section 25C: User Guide and Label Checklist) for each product model, variant or accessory being
submitted. Completion of the submittal package serves four primary purposes:
1. The submittal package provides SEI and the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor with a
description of new, modified or products to be selected for annual certification.
2. The information provided by the manufacturer in the submittal package confirms to SEI
the product design and components.
3. Receipt of the submittal package by the testing laboratory, from SEI, serves as the
laboratory’s authorization to begin testing the product(s) and allows laboratory
personnel to verify that the correct product samples have been received.
4. The return of a signed copy of the submittal form from the testing laboratory provides
SEI with a record of the date testing was completed on the product model.
Over the life of the product, subsequent submittal packages shall document that the product model
submitted for certification testing is identical to samples previously tested, except where Class I model
changes have been tested and documented through the submission of additional SEI submittal packages
or documented Class II changes have been made. It is therefore necessary that each submittal to SEI
include sufficient product description information, which is achieved by a complete components and
materials listing to uniquely and unambiguously identify the product model in question (see Section 14:
Product Changes).
SEI Certification Submittal Form
Each submittal must be identified on the submittal form as either (1) initial certification, (2) annual
recertification, (3) Class I change, or (4) Class II change. Finished product manufacturing facilities
(assembly) located at a different address (i.e. suppliers or company-owned factories) shall be identified
SEI Certification Program Manual
Section 25: NFPA Protective Clothing and Equipment Program
Revision Date: 09.09.14
Date of Issue: 01.12.12
Page 3 of 75
in Section 3 of the submittal form. The SEI Certification Submittal Form shall be signed by the authorized
manufacturer representative within the participating company having the authority to authorize
expenditures for testing.
Components & Materials Description List
The product description information may be (a) listed on the Component and Materials Description
Checklist form, (b) provided as a separate listing by the manufacturer (i.e. Bill of Materials), or (c)
appropriate engineering drawings/ specification sheets. Use of Section 25B: General Components and
Materials Description Checklist form is recommended. The following information is to be included on
each Components & Materials Description Checklist. Brief examples are provided for guidance.
A. Description of Major Components
All major components and materials shall be identified and described. Where possible, include
brand name and part number, supplier name and location.
B. Primary Materials
Materials used in the construction of major components shall be identified. Identification shall
include trade names, if applicable. All changes shall be reported to SEI for evaluation and
possible action.
C. Manufacturing Locations
All locations in which the product model is manufactured or assembled must be identified on the
SEI Certification Submittal Form. If major components are manufactured by another company
and purchased by the SEI participants, the name and address of the manufacturing facility and
contact name shall be identified on the Components & Materials Description Checklist.
D. Specification Sheets or Technical Bills of Materials
Product specification sheets or technical bills of materials (BOM) may be included with the SEI
Certification Submittal Form in addition to the Components & Materials description checklist to
fulfill some or all other requirements noted above. In the case of annual recertification, the
appropriate documents (i.e., submittal form and components and materials listing or BOM) shall
be prepared prior to the sample selection audit and available to the auditor during the audit for
reference and confirmation of product.
E. Confidentiality
All product information received by SEI staff, the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor, or the SEI
testing laboratory shall be considered confidential and shall not be released to any third party
without written authorization to do so (with the exceptions noted Section 3: Manufacturer’s
Agreement for response to a subpoena, court order or other compulsory process).
User Guide and Label Checklist
A User Guide and Label are required for protective ensemble and ensemble elements. The
SEI Certification Program Manual
Section 25: NFPA Protective Clothing and Equipment Program
Revision Date: 09.09.14
Date of Issue: 01.12.12
Page 4 of 75
standards specify the minimum information that must be presented, and each manufacturer may
provide as much information about the products as they deem necessary to use the products safely.
However, the standard does not specify or require a set format for presenting this information. As a
result, there are many ways a User Guide or Label can be arranged and presented, which is up to the
discretion of each manufacturer. Use of Section 25C: User Guide and Label Checklist form is
recommended to be completed so an accurate review and evaluation can be conducted.
25.2 Definition of a “Model”
“Model” is the collective term used to identify a group of protective devices of the same basic design
and components from a single applicant produced by the same manufacturing and quality assurance
procedures that are covered by the same certification. Any characteristic that affects the device’s
performance under the limits of the current certification standards constitutes a different model. For
purposes of the SEI Certification Program, the above definition of the term “model” uses performance
characteristics as the basic criteria.
25.3 Application & Annual Certification Fees
Testing shall be performed annually. When an initial submittal package is submitted to SEI, the
Application Fees and Annual Participation Fees (See Section 7: Annual Participation Fees) are due. Upon
completion of initial testing, Annual Model Certification Fees are due. The following is a schedule of
application fees and annual model certification fees that apply to the recreational products program:
Model Type Submittal Type Application Fee Annual Model Certification Fees

Since a number of specimens can be used in more than one test, the total number of specimens needed for an initial submittal is less than the sum of the above list. As a "worst case," for an initial submittal, the specimens needed would include the following: - 4 labels - 1 copy of user information - 1 copy size conversion chart - 2 pair size 9 boots - 12 pair any size boots - 5 pieces each hardware used in the construction of the boot - 1 linear yard of each thread type The total amount of the testing required will depend on the specific configuration of the model(s) being tested. In addition, for multiple models and variants using identical components, testing will be consolidated wherever permissible to minimize cost NOTE: SEI adds a 10% surcharge to all testing when invoiced to the participant.

A. Definition of Model
Characteristics that should affect the model’s ability to meet the performance requirements of
the certification standard and therefore require a new model designation:
1. Garment, glove or facewear material composition, thickness or design including
accessory material or components required to meet the requirements of the standard
2. Seam construction techniques and design
3. Suit closure type, design and orientation
4. Addition of external components which affect the liquid-tight integrity of the protective
item
5. Basic design
Characteristics that should not affect the model’s ability to meet the performance requirements
of the certification standard and therefore would not require a new model designation:
1. Color (unless pigmenting affects material composition)
2. Size (except gloves)
3. Internal components which do not affect the liquid-tight integrity of the protective item
B. Examples of Major Components
Not applicable for this product
C. Laboratory Testing Fees/ Attributes & Variables
SEI currently has approved one (1) laboratory that may conduct testing to this standard. The
following information should be used as guide when selecting a lab to test your models. The
schedule of rates for testing at these laboratories can be used to estimate the total cost of
testing for all the models that are to be certified.

26.1 Certification Submittal Package
A Certification Submittal Package shall include an SEI Certification Submittal form (see Section 26A: SEI Certification Submittal Form) and a Components & Materials Description Checklist form (see Section 26B: General Components & Materials Description Checklist) for each product model, variant or accessory being submitted. Completion of the submittal package serves four primary purposes:
1. The submittal package provides SEI and the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor with a description of new, modified or products to be selected for annual certification.
2. The information provided by the manufacturer in the submittal package confirms to SEI the product design and components.
3. Receipt of the submittal package by the testing laboratory, from SEI, serves as the laboratory’s authorization to begin testing the product(s) and allows laboratory personnel to verify that the correct product samples have been received.
4. The return of a signed copy of the submittal form from the testing laboratory provides SEI with a record of the date testing was completed on the product model.
Over the life of the product, subsequent submittal packages shall document that the product model submitted for certification testing is identical to samples previously tested, except where Class I model changes have been tested and documented through the submission of additional SEI submittal packages or documented Class II changes have been made. It is therefore necessary that each submittal to SEI include sufficient product description information, which is achieved by a complete components and materials listing to uniquely and unambiguously identify the product model in question (see Section 14: Product Changes).
SEI Certification Submittal Form Each submittal must be identified on the submittal form as either (1) initial certification, (2) annual recertification, (3) Class I change, or (4) Class II change. Finished product manufacturing facilities (assembly) located at a different address (i.e. suppliers or company-owned factories) shall be identified in Section 3 of the submittal form. The SEI Certification Submittal Form shall be signed by the authorized

Components & Materials Description List The product description information may be (a) listed on the Component and Materials Description Checklist form, (b) provided as a separate listing by the manufacturer (i.e. Bill of Materials), or (c) appropriate engineering drawings/ specification sheets. Use of Section 26B: General Components and Materials Description Checklist form is recommended. The following information is to be included on each Components & Materials Description Checklist. Brief examples are provided for guidance.
A. Description of Major Components All major components and materials shall be identified and described. Where possible, include brand name and part number, supplier name and location.
B. Primary Materials Materials used in the construction of major components shall be identified. Identification shall include trade names, if applicable. All changes shall be reported to SEI for evaluation and possible action.
C. Manufacturing Locations All locations in which the product model is manufactured or assembled must be identified on the SEI Certification Submittal Form. If major components are manufactured by another company and purchased by the SEI participants, the name and address of the manufacturing facility and contact name shall be identified on the Components & Materials Description Checklist.
D. Specification Sheets or Technical Bills of Materials Product specification sheets or technical bills of materials (BOM) may be included with the SEI Certification Submittal Form in addition to the Components & Materials description checklist to fulfill some or all other requirements noted above. In the case of annual recertification, the appropriate documents (i.e., submittal form and components and materials listing or BOM) shall be prepared prior to the sample selection audit and available to the auditor during the audit for reference and confirmation of product.
E. Confidentiality All product information received by SEI staff, the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor, or the SEI testing laboratory shall be considered confidential and shall not be released to any third party without written authorization to do so (with the exceptions noted Section 3: Manufacturer’s Agreement for response to a subpoena, court order or other compulsory process).

26.2 Definition of a “Model”
“Model” is the collective term used to identify a group of protective devices of the same basic design and components from a single applicant produced by the same manufacturing and quality assurance procedures that are covered by the same certification. Any characteristic that affects the device’s performance under the limits of the current certification standards constitutes a different model. For purposes of the SEI Certification Program, the above definition of the term “model” uses performance characteristics as the basic criteria.
26.3 Application & Annual Certification Fees
Testing shall be performed annually. When an initial submittal package is submitted to SEI, the Application Fees and Annual Participation Fees (See Section 7: Annual Participation Fees) are due. Upon completion of initial testing, Annual Model Certification Fees are due. The following is a schedule of application fees and annual model certification fees that apply to the Protective Clothing Program:
Model Type Submittal Type Application Fee Annual Model Certification Fees
Base Model Initial $250 $395 Class I Change $50 N/A
Class II Change $50 N/A
Variant Model Initial $125 $125 Class I Change $50 N/A

27.1 Certification Submittal Package
A Certification Submittal Package shall include an SEI Certification Submittal form (see Section 27A: SEI
Certification Submittal Form) and a Components & Materials Description Checklist form (see Section
27B: General Components & Materials Description Checklist and 27C: Equestrian Helmet Components &
Materials Description Checklist) for each product model, variant or accessory being submitted.
Completion of the submittal package serves four primary purposes:
1. The submittal package provides SEI and the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor with a
description of new, modified or products to be selected for annual certification.
2. The information provided by the manufacturer in the submittal package confirms to SEI
the product design and components.
3. Receipt of the submittal by the testing laboratory, from SEI, serves as the laboratory’s
authorization to begin testing the product(s) and allows laboratory personnel to verify
that the correct product samples have been received.
4. The return of a signed copy of the submittal form from the testing laboratory provides
SEI with a record of the date testing was completed on the product model.
Over the life of the product, subsequent submittal packages shall document that the product model
submitted for certification testing is identical to samples previously tested, except where Class I model
changes have been tested and documented through the submission of additional SEI submittal packages
or documented Class II changes have been made. It is therefore necessary that each submittal to SEI
include sufficient product description information, which is achieved by a complete components and
materials listing to uniquely and unambiguously identify the product model in question (see Section 14:
Product Changes).
SEI Certification Program Manual
Section 27: Recreational Program
Revision Date: 09.09.14
Date of Issue: 01.12.12

SEI Certification Submittal Form
Each submittal must be identified on the submittal form as either (1) initial certification, (2) annual
recertification, (3) Class I change, or (4) Class II change. Finished product manufacturing facilities
(assembly) located at a different address (i.e. suppliers or company-owned factories) shall be identified
in Section 3 of the submittal form. The SEI Certification Submittal Form shall be signed by the authorized
manufacturer representative within the participating company having the authority to authorize
expenditures for testing.
Components & Materials Description List
The product description information may be (a) listed on the Component and Materials Description
Checklist form, (b) provided as a separate listing by the manufacturer (i.e. Bill of Materials), or (c)
appropriate engineering drawings/ specification sheets. Use of Section 27B: General Components and
Materials Description Checklist or 27C: Equestrian Helmet Components and Materials Description
Checklist form is recommended. The following information is to be included on each Components &
Materials Description Checklist. Brief examples are provided for guidance.
A. Description of Major Components
All major components and materials shall be identified and described. Where possible, include
brand name and part number, supplier name and location.
B. Primary Materials
Materials used in the construction of major components shall be identified. Identification shall
include trade names, if applicable. All changes shall be reported to SEI for evaluation and
possible action.
C. Manufacturing Locations
All locations in which the product model is manufactured or assembled must be identified on
the SEI Certification Submittal Form. If major components are manufactured by another
company and purchased by the SEI participants, the name and address of the manufacturing
facility and contact name shall be identified on the Components & Materials Description
Checklist.
D. Specification Sheets or Technical Bills of Materials
Product specification sheets or technical bills of materials (BOM) may be included with the SEI
Certification Submittal Form in addition to the Components & Materials description checklist to
fulfill some or all other requirements noted above. In the case of annual recertification, the
appropriate documents (i.e., submittal form and components and materials listing or BOM) shall
be prepared prior to the sample selection audit and available to the auditor during the audit for
reference and confirmation of product.

E. Confidentiality
All product information received by SEI staff, the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor, or the SEI
testing laboratory shall be considered confidential and shall not be released to any third party
without written authorization to do so (with the exceptions noted Section 3: Manufacturer’s
Agreement for response to a subpoena, court order or other compulsory process).
27.2 Definition of a “Model”
“Model” is the collective term used to identify a group of protective devices of the same basic design
and components from a single applicant produced by the same manufacturing and quality assurance
procedures that are covered by the same certification. Any characteristic that affects the device’s
performance under the limits of the current certification standards constitutes a different model. For
purposes of the SEI Certification Program, the above definition of the term “model” uses performance
characteristics as the basic criteria.
27.3 Application & Annual Certification Fees
Testing shall be performed annually. When an initial submittal package is submitted to SEI, the
Application Fees and Annual Participation Fees (See Section 7: Annual Participation Fees) are due. Upon
completion of initial testing, Annual Model Certification Fees are due. The following is a schedule of
application fees and annual model certification fees that apply to the recreational products program:
Model Type Submittal Type Application Fee Annual Model Certification Fees
Base Model
Initial $250 $395
Class I Change $50 N/A
Class II Change $50 N/A

29.1 Certification Submittal Package
A Certification Submittal Package shall include an SEI Certification Submittal form (see Section 29A: SEI
Certification Submittal Form), a Components & Materials Description Checklist form (see Section 29B:
General Components & Materials Description Checklist) and if applicable a User Guide and Label
Checklist form (see Section 29C: User Guide and Label Checklist) for each element or material
component, product model, variant or accessory being submitted. Completion of the submittal package
serves four primary purposes:
1. The submittal package provides SEI and the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor with a description of
new, modified or existing products to be selected for annual certification.
2. The information provided by the manufacturer in the submittal package confirms to SEI the
product design and components.
3. Receipt of the submittal package by the testing laboratory, from SEI, serves as the laboratory’s
authorization to begin testing the product(s) and allows laboratory personnel to verify that the
correct product samples have been received.
4. The return of a signed copy of the submittal form from the testing laboratory provides SEI with a
record of the date testing was completed on the product model.
Over the life of the product, subsequent submittal packages shall document that the product model
submitted for certification testing is identical to samples previously tested, except where Class I model
changes have been tested and documented through the submission of additional SEI submittal packages
or documented Class II changes have been made. It is therefore necessary that each submittal to SEI
include sufficient product description information, which is achieved by a complete components and
materials listing to uniquely and unambiguously identify the product model in question (see Section 14:
Product Changes).
SEI Certification Submittal Form
Each submittal must be identified on the submittal form as either (1) initial certification, (2) annual
recertification, (3) Class I change, or (4) Class II change. Finished product manufacturing facilities
(assembly) located at a different address (i.e. suppliers or company-owned factories) shall be identified
in Section 3 of the submittal form. The SEI Certification Submittal Form shall be signed by the authorized
SEI Certification Program Manual

manufacturer representative within the participating company having the authority to authorize
expenditures for testing.
Components & Materials Description List
The product description information may be (a) listed on the Component and Materials Description
Checklist form, (b) provided as a separate listing by the manufacturer (i.e. Bill of Materials), or (c)
appropriate engineering drawings/ specification sheets. Use of Section 29B: General Components and
Materials Description Checklist form is recommended. The following information is to be included on
each Components & Materials Description Checklist. Brief examples are provided for guidance.
A. Description of Major Components
All major components and materials shall be identified and described. Where possible, include
brand name and part number, supplier name and location.
B. Primary Materials
Materials used in the construction of major components shall be identified. Identification shall
include trade names, if applicable. All changes shall be reported to SEI for evaluation and
possible action.
C. Manufacturing Locations
All locations in which the product model is manufactured or assembled must be identified on the
SEI Certification Submittal Form. If major components are manufactured by another company
and purchased by the SEI participants, the name and address of the manufacturing facility and
contact name shall be identified on the Components & Materials Description Checklist.
D. Specification Sheets or Technical Bills of Materials
Product specification sheets or technical bills of materials (BOM) may be included with the SEI
Certification Submittal Form in addition to the Components & Materials description checklist to
fulfill some or all other requirements noted above. In the case of annual recertification, the
appropriate documents (i.e., submittal form and components and materials listing or BOM) shall
be prepared prior to the sample selection audit and available to the auditor during the audit for
reference and confirmation of product.
E. Confidentiality
All product information received by SEI staff, the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor, or the SEI
testing laboratory shall be considered confidential and shall not be released to any third party
without written authorization from the manufacturer to do so (with the exceptions noted in
Section 3: Manufacturer’s Agreement for response to a subpoena, court order or other
compulsory process).
User Guide and Label Checklist
If applicable, a User Guide and Label are required for protective ensemble and ensemble elements.

The standards specify the minimum information that must be presented, and each manufacturer
may provide as much information about the products as they deem necessary to use the products
safely. However, the standard does not specify or require a set format for presenting this
information. As a result, there are many ways a User Guide or Label can be arranged and presented,
which is up to the discretion of each manufacturer. Use of Section 29C: User Guide and Label
Checklist form is recommended to be completed so an accurate review and evaluation can be
conducted.
Typically element or material components are not required by the standard or specification to
include a label or user guide. However Section 17: Use of the SEI Certification Mark of the SEI
Certification Program Manual (CPM) does require the use of a component model certification mark.
29.2 Definition of a “Model”
“Model” is the collective term used to identify a group of protective devices of the same basic design
and components from a single applicant produced by the same manufacturing and quality assurance
procedures that are covered by the same certification. Any characteristic that affects the device’s
performance under the limits of the current certification standards constitutes a different model. For
purposes of the SEI Certification Program, the above definition of the term “model” uses performance
characteristics as the basic criteria.
29.3 Application & Annual Certification Fees
Testing shall be performed annually. When an initial submittal package is submitted to SEI, the
Application Fees and Annual Participation Fees (See Section 7: Annual Participation Fees) are due. Upon
completion of initial testing, Annual Model Certification Fees are due. The following is a schedule of
application fees and annual model certification fees that apply to the industrial PPE products program:

30.1 Certification Submittal Package
The existence of an executed, valid license agreement with NOCSAE is prerequisite to SEI issuing certification. A Certification Submittal Package shall include an SEI Certification Submittal form (see Section 30A: SEI Certification Submittal Form) and a Components & Materials Description Checklist form (see Section 30B: General Components & Materials Description Checklist) for each product model, variant or accessory being submitted. Completion of the submittal package serves four primary purposes:
1. The submittal package provides SEI and the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor with a description of new, modified or existing products to be selected for annual certification.
2. The information provided by the manufacturer in the submittal package confirms to SEI the product design and components.
3. Receipt of the submittal package by the testing laboratory, from SEI, serves as the laboratory’s authorization to begin testing the product(s) and allows laboratory personnel to verify that the correct product samples have been received.
4. The return of a signed copy of the submittal form from the testing laboratory provides SEI with a record of the date testing was completed on the product model.
Over the life of the product, subsequent submittal packages shall document that the product model submitted for certification testing is identical to samples previously tested, except where Class I model changes have been tested and documented through the submission of additional SEI submittal packages or documented Class II changes have been made. It is therefore necessary that each submittal to SEI include sufficient product description information, which is achieved by a complete components and materials listing to uniquely and unambiguously identify the product model in question (see Section 14: Product Changes).
SEI Certification Submittal Form Each submittal must be identified on the submittal form as either (1) initial certification, (2) annual certification, (3) Class I change, or (4) Class II change. Finished product manufacturing facilities (assembly) located at a different address (i.e. suppliers or company-owned factories) shall be identified in Section 3 of the submittal form. The SEI Certification Submittal Form shall be signed by the authorized manufacturer representative within the participating company having the authority to authorize expenditures for testing.
Components & Materials Description List The product description information may be (a) listed on the Component and Materials Description Checklist form, (b) provided as a separate listing by the manufacturer (i.e. Bill of Materials), or (b) appropriate engineering drawings/ specification sheets. Use of Section 30B: General Components and Materials Description Checklist form is recommended. The following information is to be included on each Components & Materials Description Checklist. Brief examples are provided for guidance. A. Description of Major Components
All major components and materials shall be identified and described. Where possible, include brand name and part number, supplier name and location.
Page 3 of 16
SEI Certification Program Manual Section 30: NOCSAE Athletic Equipment Program
Revision Date: 09.09.14 Date of Issue: 04.01.14
B. Primary Materials
Materials used in the construction of major components shall be identified. Identification shall include trade names, if applicable. All changes shall be reported to SEI for evaluation and possible action.
C. Manufacturing Locations
All locations in which the product model is manufactured or assembled must be identified on the SEI Certification Submittal Form. If major components are manufactured by another company and purchased by the SEI participants, the name and address of the manufacturing facility and contact name shall be identified on the Components & Materials Description Checklist.
D. Specification Sheets or Technical Bills of Materials
Product specification sheets or technical bills of materials (BOM) may be included with the SEI Certification Submittal Form in addition to the Components & Materials description checklist to fulfill some or all other requirements noted above. In the case of annual recertification, the appropriate documents (i.e., submittal form and components and materials listing or BOM) shall be prepared prior to the sample selection audit and available to the auditor during the audit for reference and confirmation of product.
E. Confidentiality
All product information received by SEI staff, the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor, or the SEI testing laboratory shall be considered confidential and shall not be released to any third party without written authorization to do so (with the exceptions noted in Section 30 D: NOCSAE Manufacturer’s Agreement for response to a subpoena, court order or other compulsory process).
30.2 NOCSAE Athletic Equipment Program Codes
SEI utilizes SEI Reference Numbers internally to identify each SEI participant and their unique models and variants. The first set of three letters indicates which standard the model/variant is being certified to. The second set of three letters indicates the SEI participant's identification. The numbers are used chronologically to indicate each model being certified.

A. Quality Audit Procedures
The quality audit procedures are applicable to conducting Quality Audits of a Quality Management System performed by an SEI Quality Auditor in accordance with the requirements of the SEI Certification Program (see CPM Section 11 Quality Assurance and CPM Section 12 Audit Procedures), that include initial total system audits and on-site and remote surveillance audits. The Audit Checklist (see CPM Section 13 Audit Checklist) shall be used for the initial total system audit and any annual on-site surveillance audit. The NOCSAE Remote Audit Checklist (See Section 30C NOCSAE Athletic Equipment Remote Audit Checklist) shall be used for annual remote surveillance audits where approved.
B. SEI NOCSAE Quality Audit Procedures
NOCSAE standards address the frequency of onsite and remote audits for QC/QA Equipment/Gear Level 1, 2 and Level 3 categorized products.
Participants whose products fall into Equipment/Gear Level 1, shall undergo a remote audit upon initial participation in the certification program and annually thereafter. However, an onsite surveillance audit may be conducted in the event the remote audit is unsatisfactory or there are multiple testing non-compliances during annual certification testing.
Participants with products designated as Levels 2 and 3 shall be subjected to an initial onsite quality audit. Upon certification, annual surveillance audits shall be required with an onsite audit at least every three years. Audits in years two and three following an onsite audit may be accomplished by remote surveillance audits if all of the following is true:
Page 13 of 16
SEI Certification Program Manual Section 30: NOCSAE Athletic Equipment Program
Revision Date: 09.09.14 Date of Issue: 04.01.14
1. There were no NOCSAE critical noncompliances during certification testing. 2. There were no major noncompliances during an onsite and/or remote audit. 3. There were no new model categories (e.g. new product s) where such products were submitted
during the non-onsite audit years. 4. The product/equipment being certified has at least three years of QA/QC data available for
review through an annual remote audit.
If any of the above criteria are not met, remote surveillance audits shall not be permitted
C. Remote Quality Audit Procedures
The Remote Audit will take place off-site and will require participants to submit their Quality Manual and any supporting documentation to the SEI auditor. It is possible the SEI auditor may need to request additional supporting documentation in order to adequately perform the Remote Audit. The SEI Auditors will be using the SEI Remote Audit Checklist (See Section 30C NOCSAE Athletic Equipment Remote Audit Checklist) to conduct the document review. At the conclusion of the review, the SEI auditor will provide SEI and the participant with an audit report.
D. Quality Audit Fees
Audit Type Fee NOCSAE On-Site Audit To be determined based on SEI auditor fees for
time and travel* NOCSAE Remote Audit To be determined based on SEI auditor daily rate*
*See CPM Section 7: Participation Fees for specific auditor fees. A 10% surcharge will be added to all quality audit fees.
