(a) A Recognised Test Report is a report fulfilling either of the following criteria: (i) a National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) Australia or International Accreditation New Zealand (IANZ) endorsed report; (ii) a test report from an overseas laboratory that has been accredited for the relevant Standards by an overseas accreditation body that has a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) with NATA or IANZ. The report must be endorsed with the logo or certification ▇▇▇▇ of the accreditation body; (iii) a "CB" test report and certificate issued under the IECEE CB Scheme; (iv) a report from a testing laboratory which has been included as part of a test report from a NATA or IANZ laboratory that is accredited for the Standards and test concerned; (v) a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) report produced by an accredited ISO9001 company, having FEA in the scope of their certification, and issued under the signature of an engineer who is a NAFEMS Registered Analyst; and (vi) contains results for all relevant clauses and sub clauses of the relevant Standard, provided that in any of (i) to (vi) inclusive, the date of issue of the Recognised Test Report must be no more than five (5) years prior to the date on which the relevant Service (whether a testing or certification service) is or will be provided. (b) TRA (or applicable TRA Associate) may (in its sole and absolute discretion) accept a witnessed manufacturer’s testing (WMT) report produced by a Client under the direct supervision of TRA (or TRA Associate). A WMT report may be considered by TRA (or TRA Associate) for a non-complex testing methodology that only requires the completion of simple inspections and/or tests such as mass, length, time or a physically observable characteristic. (c) The Client agrees that where Recognised Test Reports are not provided by the Client, tests as a prerequisite to certification services will be carried out by TRA (or TRA Associate) at the Client's cost in accordance with these Regulations (and, without limitation, Regulation 2).
