Completion of the submittal package serves four primary purposes: 1. The submittal package provides SEI and the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor with a description of new, modified and continued products to be selected during the audit. 2. The information provided by the manufacturer in the full submittal package confirms to SEI the product design and components remain unchanged since the submitted product was last tested and certified. 3. Receipt of the submittal package by the testing laboratory, from SEI, serves as the laboratory s authorization to begin testing the product(s) and allows laboratory personnel to verify that the correct product samples have been received. 4. The return of a signed copy of the submittal form from the testing laboratory provides SEI with a record of the date testing was completed on the product model. Over the life of the product, subsequent submittal packages shall document that the product model submitted for certification testing is identical to samples previously tested, except where Class I model changes have been tested and documented through the submission of additional SEI submittal packages or documented Class II changes have been made. It is therefore necessary that each submittal to SEI 2 of 18

3 SEI Certification Program Manual Section 22: Fall Protection Program Date of Issue: include sufficient product description information, which is achieved by a complete components and materials listing to uniquely and unambiguously identify the product model in question. SEI Certification Submittal Form Each submittal form must be identified as either (1) initial certification, (2) annual recertification, (3) Class I change, or (4) Class II change. Finished product manufacturing facilities (assembly) located at a different address (i.e. suppliers or company-owned factories) shall be identified in Section 3 of the submittal form. The SEI Certification Submittal Form shall be signed by the authorized manufacturer representative within the participating company having the authority to authorize expenditures for testing. Components & Materials Description List The product description information may be (a) listed on the Component and Materials Description Checklist form, (b) provided as a separate listing by the manufacturer (i.e. Bill of Materials), or (c) appropriate engineering drawings/ specification sheets. Use of Section 22B: General Components and Materials Description Checklist form is recommended. The following information is to be included on each Components & Materials List. Brief examples are provided for guidance. A. Description of Major Components All major components and materials shall be identified and described. Where possible, include brand name and part number, supplier name and location. B. Primary Materials Materials used in the construction of major components shall be identified. Identification shall include trade names, if applicable. All changes shall be reported to SEI for evaluation and possible action. C. Manufacturing Locations All locations in which the product model is manufactured or assembled must be identified on the SEI Certification Submittal Form. If major components are manufactured by another company and purchased by the SEI participants, the name and address of the manufacturing facility and contact name shall be identified on the Components & Materials Description Checklist. D. Specification Sheets or Technical Bills of Materials Product specification sheets or technical bills of materials (BOM) may be included with the SEI Certification Form in addition to the Components & Materials description checklist to fulfill some or all other requirements noted above. In the case of annual recertification, the appropriate documents (i.e., submittal form and components and materials listing or BOM) shall be prepared prior to the sample selection audit and available to the auditor during the audit for reference and confirmation of product. 3 of 18

4 SEI Certification Program Manual Section 22: Fall Protection Program Date of Issue: Confidentiality All product information received by SEI staff, the SEI Quality Assurance Auditor, or the SEI testing laboratory shall be considered confidential and shall not be released to any third party without written authorization to do so (with the exceptions noted Section 3: Manufacturer s Agreement for response to a subpoena, court order or other compulsory process) Fall Protection Program Codes SEI utilizes SEI Reference Numbers internally to identify each SEI participant and their unique models and variants. The first set of two or three letters/numbers indicates which standard program code the model/variant is being certified against. The second set of three letters indicates the SEI participant's unique identification. The third set of numbers is assigned by SEI to identify each model (see definition below) being certified. eg: BBH ABC 03 eg: BBH ABC V03 Where BBH identifies the standard program code Where ABC identifies the unique participant identification Where 03 identifies the model submitted for certification Where V03 identifies the model as the third variant (V03) for this Participant Identification (ABC) SEI Reference Program Code Standard Description Product Type Standard FAH Standard on Full Body Harnesses Full Body Harnesses ANSI/ASSE Z FAV Standard on Single Anchor Lifelines and Fall Arresters Single Anchor Lifelines and Fall Arresters ANSI/ASSE Z FCV FCR FCH FCL Standard on Fall Arresters, Vertical Lifelines, and Rails Standard on Self-Retracting Devices Standard on Full Body Harnesses Standard on Energy Absorbers and Lanyards Fall Arresters, Vertical Lifelines and Rails Self-Retracting Devices for Personal Fall Arrest Systems CAN/CSA Z CAN/CSA Z Full Body Harnesses CAN/CSA Z Energy Absorbers & Lanyards CAN/CSA Z of 18

Any characteristic that affects the device s performance under the limits of the current certification standards constitutes a different model. For purposes of the SEI Certification Program, the above definition of the term model uses performance characteristics as the basic criteria Application & Annual Certification Fees Testing shall be performed annually. When an initial submittal package is submitted to SEI, the Application Fees and Annual Participation Fees (See Section 7: Annual Participation Fees) are due. Upon completion of initial testing, Annual Model Certification Fees are due. 5 of 18
