3) Manufacturer’/factory's documentation (it is necessary when the labs are affiliated companies).
4) The test report issued by manufacturer’/factory's lab, which should meet the requirements of CQC.
According to TC10 memo, the clients using supplier’s declaration of conformity to accomplish the change of standard, need to accept the sampling inspection. The details of sampling inspection are shown in attachment 2.
