This Operational Document details the general fees for participation within the IECQ Scheme applicable to member countries, through their IECQ Member Body (NAI) and their Supervising Inspectorates / Certification Bodies. Fees associated with approved organisations that make use of the Scheme are considered in as much as they relate to the operation of the Scheme. These costs DO NOT cover the actual testing, assessment and certification costs of the individual bodies. Each Member Body (NAI, National Authorised Institution), SI (Supervising Inspectorate) is free to charge its own fees for its services in a competitive environment. The IECQ Scheme operates on a cost recovery basis to avoid placing any undue financial burden on the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The "Operational Fees" referred to within this document are those fees that provide an income whereby a fully functional International Certification Scheme for the global community can be maintained. The method or means by which Member Bodies and SIs recover the annual fees is a matter for those bodies to determine. |
