Part 5 Site Visits
This Part is included in the Contract if the Services include site visits. Qualification and Selection of Assessors
BSI warrants that all assessment visits will be performed by appropriately quali- fied and trained assessors with the skill, care and diligence as may be reason- able for you to expect. In its absolute discretion, BSI will select the appropriate assessors to perform the assessments at your sites. BSI may change the asses- sor at any time. BSI may appoint any assessor to perform future assessments. In such event, no additional fees will be charged.
You may request BSI to change the assessor at least 30 days before an as- sessment has started, provided that you agree to pay any additional fees or expenses incurred by BSI in providing an alternative assessor. If no appropriate assessor is available, BSI may refuse your request.
Arrangement of Visits
BSI will arrange visits to your site or sites as expressly described on the Order, or, if later, as may be expressly agreed with you in writing. Unless an unannounced visit is necessary, BSI will inform you of the assessment visits within a reasonable time in advance of the visits. If the timetable for visits is determined by the relevant stan- dard or scheme, BSI will comply with that timetable. If the frequency of visits is not fixed, BSI will arrange them at its reasonable discretion.
(Change of date of visit) Either party may change the date of a visit. In order to do this:
•
•
•

if you change the date of the visit: you must do so by giving not fewer than 30 days advance notice to BSI. If you fail to give the required notice, you will be liable to pay the full fee for the originally booked visit. You may not delay the date of a visit if to do so would have the effect of invalidating your certification.
如果由BSI变更拜访日期：BSI可在原定拜访日期24小时前的任何时候变更拜访日期，但BSI须联系您与您约定新的日期。
在特定情形下（例如没有遵守相关的标准），BSI可能有必要进行额外拜访。您应按额外拜访时适用的BSI标准审核日费率承担任何额外拜访的费用。
未提前通知的拜访和观察拜访
BSI将遵守任何标准或计划实施不提前通知的拜访。因此，当审核员到达场地时您应允许其进入，并向审核员提供其合理要求的所有相关资料。
BSI的审核员可能有第三方观察员的不定时陪同，观察员是为了对审核做证明。BSI会在拜访前的合理时间内，告知您拜访将有观察员陪同，并向您提供观察员的身份。如确认审核-认可机构对乙方的监督活动,是通过直接对甲方管理体系运行及审核过程进行非预先通知的现场认证.乙方应对认可机构的现场验证工作予以配合.
审核员的健康及安全
（我们遵守与您或第三方现场有关的规定） BSI将尽最大的合理可能，遵守您安排拜访时向BSI告知的适用于现场访客和现场审核员的所有健康、安全规定以及任何其他的合理安全要求。如果因BSI 遵守这些规定和其他要求，而妨碍BSI 提供服务，应视为BSI不违反合同，并且您仍须全额支付服务费用。在提交要求访问第三方场所的订单时，您应保证您与该第三方具有相关关系，可允许BSI 以合同目的进入其场所。

（BSI中止拜访的权利）如果在现场拜访时，审核员有理由认为您没有遵守相关的健康和安全规定，或者审核员在任何方面处于危险中，那么审核员可以中止拜访。此时，BSI将向您报告终止拜访的理由。在这种情形下，应视为BSI不违反合同，并且您仍须全额支付服务费用。BSI 将不会进入受影响的场所，直到报告的问题得到解决。
第6部分 证书
x部分将根据BSI 提供的证书包含在任何服务合同中。证书
（无自动认证权）本合同不提供自动认证权。如果BSI在不考虑您的利益的前提下独立判断认为认证过程或测试过程取得成功，则BSI将授予您一项证书。
（BSI拒绝、吊销或撤销证书的权利）如果BSI合理认为发生以下事项，可自行决定拒绝证书、或撤销或吊销已经签发的证书：
您不符合、或未持续符合相关的标准或法规，或
您修改了测试项目所表示的并且与某项证书相关的产品的任何规格；或
您未向BSI 提供可能会影响BSI决定签发证书或延长证书期限的任何资料；或您未持续遵守提供资料的义务；或

（证书详情的更改）如果您打算更改证书的任何详情，您需要将要求的更改通知 BSI 。如果BSI合理认为此类更改不会影响证书的效力，则BSI可对同样的条款和同样的证书期限签发经过修改的证书。据此，BSI将收取其不定时确定的管理费用。
（您的证书状态的公布）BSI可将您的姓名、您的证书范围、证书签发、吊销、撤销或终止证书的详情公布于众（用网站或BSI 自行认为的任何其他方式公布）。

In certain circumstances (such as non-compliance with the relevant standard) it may be necessary for BSI to make additional visits. You will be liable for the fee for any additional visits at BSI’s standard assessment day rate applicable at the time of the additional visit.
Unannounced and Observed Visits
BSI will comply with any standard or scheme that requires unannounced visits. You will permit access to the relevant site on the arrival of an assessor as well as to all relevant information that may reasonably be required by the assessor. BSI’s assessor may be accompanied by a third party observer from time to time, who is to witness an assessment. BSI will inform you, as well as provide you with the identity of the observer, within a reasonable time prior to the visit.
Assessors’ Health and Safety
(Our observance of rules on your or a third party’s premises) BSI will observe, as far as it is reasonably able, all health and safety rules and any other reason- able security requirements applicable to visitors to the premises that you notify to BSI at the time of arranging a visit, and to the assessor on arrival at the site. If, by observing these rules and other requirements, BSI is prevented from providing the Services, BSI will not be in breach of the Contract and you will be required to pay in full for the Services. In submitting an Order that requires a visit to a third party’s premises, you warrant that you have a relationship with the third party that permits BSI to attend its premises for the purposes of the Contract.
(Hazards) When an assessor attends your premises, you are responsible for en- suring that adequate information is given on the hazards and risks to which the assessor may be exposed. You will provide an appropriate level of supervision as well as personal protective equipment. You will notify BSI of any event, accident or incident on your premises which could pose a risk to an assessor.
(BSI’s right to abort a visit) If, while on your premises, the assessor has reason to believe that you are not complying with the relevant health and safety rules, or that the assessor’s safety is at risk in any way, then the assessor may abort the visit. BSI will report to you the reasons for the termination of the visit. In such an event, BSI will not be in breach of the Contract and you will be required to pay in full for the Services. BSI will not attend the affected premises again until it is satisfied that the issues so reported have been resolved.
Part 6 Certificates
This Part is included in the Contract for any Service pursuant to which BSI shall provide a certificate.

(BSI’s right to refuse a certificate, or to suspend or revoke it) At its sole discretion, BSI may refuse to issue a certificate, or revoke or suspend an issued certificate, if in its reasonable opinion:
you do not meet, or fail to continue to meet, the relevant standard or regula- tion; or
you amend any specification of the product of which the test item was represen- tative and to which a certificate relates; or
you fail to disclose any information to BSI that may affect BSI’s decision to issue or continue the certificate; or
you fail to comply with the continuing obligation to supply information; or you fail to pay any fees due to BSI under the Contract; or
in the opinion of BSI, you use the certificate in a manner that may be misleading or that may bring BSI into disrepute.
If BSI revokes an issued certificate, you will return the certificate and the accompanying certification reports to BSI and destroy any copies and cease using or posting electronic versions of each.
(Ownership) BSI will at all times remain the owner of a certificate. BSI grants you a limited licence to display the certificate (and any accompanying BSI logo or certification mark) at your premises or on your products (but only in so far as the scope of the certificate is relevant) for so long as the certificate remains valid. You may not transfer the right to display the certificate (or the accompanying BSI logo or certification mark) to any other party. You may not amend the content or change the appearance of the certificate or the BSI logo or certification mark.
(Change of details on a certificate) If you wish to change any details on a certifi- cate, you will notify BSI of the required changes. If, in the reasonable opinion of BSI, such changes will not affect the validity of the certificate, BSI may issue a revised certificate on the same terms and for the same period of validity as the replaced certificate.

（您对认证报告的披露）如果您对任何其他方披露认证报告，该报告不得经过修改或删节，不得以BSI制作认证时的形式以外的任何形式展示。如果您确实要披露认证报告，您同意使BSI免受第三方因依据该认证报告而对BSI 产生的或由此引起的所有索赔、程序、费用、支出和责任，而不管披露给该第三方时有无经过BSI 的事先书面同意。

Part 7 Standard Contractual Provisions
Remedies
If either you or BSI fails or delays to exercise any right or remedy (or exercises only a part of such right or remedy), that failure or delay will not be a waiver of that or any other right or remedy. It will also not preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

Limitation of BSI’s Liability
The liability of BSI to you will not be limited to the extent that the law govern- ing the Contract does not permit BSI to so limit it.
Subject to this, BSI will not be liable to you for any loss of profit or any indirect or consequential loss arising under or in connection with the Contract; and the total liability of BSI to you in respect of all other losses arising under or in con- nection with the Contract will not exceed an amount equal to the annual fees payable by you under the Contract in relation to the Services giving rise to the liability. This limitation of BSI’s liability will survive termination of the Contract. No Partnership or Agency

No Assignment

you fail to pay any amount under the Contract on the due date for payment and it remains unpaid 7 days after BSI has notified you to make such payment; or you are in breach of any material obligation of the Contract; or
in the reasonable opinion of BSI, you act in such a manner that may bring the reputation of BSI into disrepute.

is unable or suspends the payments its debts;

正式测试结果
除非测试服务是根据某项标准或法规进行，报告的结果仅与被试的实际测试对象相关。测试结果不暗含将维持持续生产的性能、质量和合格。此类测试并不能代表
BSI实施的任何正式批准、认证、监督、管控或监视。
如果您认为测试服务有任何不足，您应在收到测试报告后的21日内，将测试服务不足的详细情况书面告知BSI。您必须向BSI 提供所有必要的设施，并允许其进入场所，以便其对此类不足进行核实，并使BSI重新测试其可能要求的测试对象。
测试对象
除了提供信息的一般义务，您还应：
将所有相关的测试对象自担费用（并遵守一切当地法律，包括进出口法规，如适用）交付至BSI 可能指定的地址，并确保它们在交付途中不受损害；
承担测试对象在运输途中的风险；
使BSI免受运输测试对象可能生产的一切费用；
将测试对象的构成材料告知BSI，包括大小和重量，以及健康和安全或环境法律可能要求的任何特别注意事项；以及
将被试产品的任何变动告知BSI 。
（测试对象不符合服务的要求）如果测试对象不符合服务的要求，BSI 将尽可能快地通知您。这种情形下，BSI有权暂停执行本合同，直到其收到符合要求的测试对象。如果测试只是服务的一部分，BSI可自行决定提供剩余的其他服务，而不执行测试。如果测试不是服务其中的一部分，如此履行服务的费用也应支付。
(测试对象的处理或退回)BSI可自行决定处理测试对象，或将其退还给您。BSI 承诺尽可能对环境造成最小的破坏。您应承担处理或退还测试对象的费用。
CE 标志的具体规定
(提供资料的附加义务) 如果BSI提供的服务包括对附带CE 标志的产品的合规评估服务，一旦您在本合同有效期内任何时候，获悉与产品的相关的下述事项，您应立即告知BSI（Ⅰ）产品相关的所有负面事件；以及(Ⅱ)任何监管机构规定的任何限制或禁令。
(您对CE标志的使用）如果BSI 向您提供一项认证，您可以自行决定将此CE标志附加到产品或质量体系中。本合同中任何条款或此认证都不暗含BSI已同意在相关的产品或质量体系中展示CE标志。如果您决定附加CE标志，您应确保根据您的产品相关的标志法规展示CE标志。您向BSI承诺、保证并xx，在BSI履行完合规评估服务并获得相关认证后，您对合规的宣布在所有方面都准确无误。
如果本合同终止，或如果BSI向您颁发的某项认证到期或被BSI撤销或废除，您应立即停止使用或展示CE标志，包括在相关产品上停止展示或使用BSI知名机构的注册编号。您必须撤回带有CE标志的任何产品，包括从市场召回带有BSI知名机构注册编号的任何产品，并促使任何第三方停止展示或使用此类CE标志，从市场撤回带有
此类CE标志的任何产品。

Test Requirements
The nature, scope and extent of the tests to be performed on a test item are at the sole discretion of BSI.
(Damage to the test items) The testing services commonly result in damage to the test items. BSI will not be responsible for such damage nor for consequen- tial injury or loss or expense incurred by the later use of the test items by you or any other person.
Results of Informal Testing
Unless the testing service is conducted pursuant to a standard or regulation, the results reported will only relate to the actual test items that are subject to the tests. The results will not imply that the performance, quality or conformance of continuing production will be maintained. Such testing does not indicate any form of approval, certification, supervision, control or surveillance by BSI.
If you believe that there is a defect in the testing services, you must advise BSI in writing of the details of such defect within 21 days of receiving the report. You must provide BSI with all necessary access and facilities to verify the defect and to re-test the test items as BSI may request.
Test Items

deliver at your cost (and in compliance with all local laws, including export and import regulations, if applicable) all relevant test items to such address as BSI may specify in such a way so as to protect them from damage;
bear the risk of the test items whilst they are in transit;
indemnify BSI against all costs that it may incur relating to the cost of transport- ing the test items;
notify BSI of the materials of which the test items are comprised including size and weight, together with any special precautions that may be required under health and safety, or environmental, law; and
notify BSI of any changes to the product being tested.
(Test items do not accord with the services required) BSI will notify you as soon as reasonably possible if test items do not accord with the requirements of the Services, in which case BSI shall be entitled to suspend performance of the Con- tract until it receives satisfactory test items. If the testing forms part of multiple services, BSI at its discretion may provide the remainder of the Services without conducting the testing. The fees for the Services so performed will be payable as if the testing did not form a part of the Services.
(Disposal or return of test items) BSI may dispose of the test items, or return them to you, at its absolute discretion. BSI is committed to practices that cause as little harm to the environment as is reasonably possible. You will be respon- sible for the costs of return or disposal of the test items.
Specific Provisions for CE Marking

and (ii) any limit or prohibition imposed by any regulatory body, upon becoming aware of such incidents, limits or prohibitions at any time during the term of this Contract.
(Your use of CE Marking) If BSI provides you with a Certificate, you may at your discretion decide to affix the CE Marking to a product or quality system. Nothing in the Contract or the Certificate shall imply that BSI has approved the display of the CE Marking on the product or quality system concerned. If you decide to affix the CE Marking, you will ensure that you only display the CE Marking in ac- cordance with the relevant regulations governing the marking of your product.
