Quality Requirements Edition 6.0 European Enamel Association

1.3 Procedure for obtaining the “European Enamel Association” label by a
company which assembles or factors parts or products enamelled by
subcontractors

1.3.1

Where the applicant assembles or factors enamelled parts which have been
enamelled by a subcontractor and wishes the finished product to qualify for a “EEA”
label, then the company shall demonstrate that the requirements detailed in
sections 1.2 are satisfied by the appropriate subcontract enamellers.

In the opposite case when the EEA certified company is an (exclusive) jobber and
responsible for only the quality of the enamelling without having direct influence on
the quality of the supplied base material e.g. the steel, the final enamel quality shall
be agreed between the jobber and its customer.

1.3.2

This shall be accomplished by submission of relevant documents delivered by the
subcontractor(s), in accordance with the instructions given in these quality
requirements. The applicant may also choose to have the audit carried out at the
subcontractor, if required.
