## Product Certification of TISI
License granting, based on two technical criteria
assessment of the factories’ quality control system
testing of products
Surveillance, the license will be followed up at least twice a year by
factory visit for QC system assessment
product sampling from factories/market for testing
product sampling for testing each import
