VI CoP planning and CoP control plan at a fixed price (components and complete vehicles)

Description

Solid CoP planning requires many years of experience in order to achieve a perfect balance between verification quality (vis-à-vis management and the authorities) and low costs.
We can offer you the planning for a suitable sample size and test frequency depending on the most important parameters of your product and your production processes, as well as taking into account the risk of deviations with regard to conformity, at a fixed price of 1990 (per approval object / characteristic).
According to Article 26 of Framework Regulation (EU) 2018/858, CoP planning is an integral part of the approval procedure – prevent your approval procedure from stalling due to implausible or incomplete CoP planning!

Type test or own test procedures?

The legislator does not expect you to repeat the type test procedure. If they wanted to, they would issue the type test for a limited period of time. Some of the relevant standards describe simplified test procedures. You can also use test procedures from quality assurance or test procedures developed in-house.

There is a lot of potential here to reduce risks (for unrecognized deviations), effort and costs.

Sample size

“A test is not a test!” When you carry out your CoP tests, there is always the question of the significance of the tests. CoP is intended to detect potential tolerances in production that could lead to non-conformities. To do this, a sample must also have statistical significance. But there are also exceptions.

Test frequency

You have found the passage “The competent authority shall normally carry out an inspection every two years” in the law. in a UN regulation and are happy to only have to carry out CoP audits every 2 years? Then you are taking a risk, because this requirement refers to the task of the authority – which must carry out an audit every 2 years. If you only carry out CoP tests every 2 years, you run the risk of having to recall all products from the last 2 years if a deviation is detected. Minimize your risk with risk-based planning of the inspection frequency and by including any quality assurance inspections and processes in order to justifiably keep the inspection effort low.

Your advantage:

• Neutral assessment of the relevant factors
• Elaboration in a format accepted by the authorities
• Optimized costs (up to 90% cost savings possible)
