Hoefon high security seals are clause 6 compliant

Clause 6. Evidence of tamper

In order for high security seals to be compliant with clause 6 a security seals manufacturer must have a documented and audited process as well as a test specification in place in its quality manual. Clause 6 emphasizes the relevance of continuous improvement of tamper-resistance features on High Security Seals. The conditions for meeting clause 6 are evaluated during the ISO 9001 Quality 9001 Operational Procedure and in accordance with several practices related to security as outlined in ISO 17712:2013 “Annex A”. The auditor must be accredited according to ISO/IEC 17020.

For manufacturers to claim that their high security seals are fully compliant with ISO 17712:2013, the following certificates are mandatory.

• Certificate issued by an independent, ISO 17025 accredited, third party test laboratory to validate security seal’s class ‘H’ classification.
• ISO 9001 certificate for meeting best standards for a quality management system.
• Certificate issued by an accredited auditing agency that the seal manufacturer performs in accordance with Clause 6 of the ISO 17712:2013 document.

If one of the above certificates is missing the requirements of high security seals cannot be considered fully met.
