Darrell, I would take a step back and ask "how does my company confirm that the plastic part we ordered meets our specs ?" Does incoming inspection check the cert attached with the shipment and keep a record that they cross-checked it with a component specification or purchase order ? Did the supplier sign a contract that specifies all parts type "xyz" are made of a specific type of plastic ? Whatever method you use internally to satisfy that the part meets your specification should satisfy the agency inspector. I would check with your incoming inspection dept., purchasing, or quality depts.

We must keep certs of flammability on file for each shipment of every plastic part to satisfy UL, CSA, and TUV factory inspectors. This involves sorting and filing lots of paper and maintaing a long row of filing cabinets. The method seems cumbersome in this electronic age. Does anyone have experience with easier methods of tracking these certs that is also acceptable to the agencies.
