Contact SupplierCDG is an ISO 17021 accredited inspection body & ISO 17025 accredited testing laboratory for ISO 17712 standards. We provide accredited ISO 17712 certification services in Delhi.CIL provide ISO 17712 certification in India. CIL is an accredited certification services in India .ISO 17712 establishes uniform procedures for the classification, acceptance, and withdrawal of acceptance of mechanical freight container seals. This International Standard establishes uniform procedures for the classification, acceptance, and withdrawal of mechanical freight container seals. It provides a single source of information on mechanical seals which are acceptable for securing freight containers in international commerce.
The purpose of mechanical seals is, as part of a security system, to determine whether a freight container has been tampered with, i.e. whether there has been unauthorized entry into the container through its doors. Seals can be effective only if seal users properly select, store, account for, apply, document, and attend to seals prior to use and in use; while these issues are not addressed in this International Standard, they are relevant to successful use of the seals covered by this International Standard.

HIGH SECURITY SEALS
The current ISO security standard requires independent confirmation for testing to determine a security seals physical strength (as barriers to entry).
The requirements for certain security level of seals are defined in this specific standard.
The seals that belong to the High security level and Security level are also called “barrier seals”.
They are made of different metals or metal alloys, meaning that they require special tools to be opened, such as bolt cutters or pliers.
Cable seals and bolt seals also fall into this category of ISO 17712.
Designed to deter opportunistic theft of high value goods, they also can often be branded and numbered to improve tamper resistance and provide excellent security for containers.
The security seals that are in the Indicative level as to 17712 standard plastic seals or fixed closing thin metal seals.
ISO 17712 standard defines three types of classes of seal strength or barrier capacity: “I” for Indicative; “S” for Security; and “H” for High Security. C-TPAT requires the use of “H” class seals.
Suppliers of the security seals as CDG must use independent third party test laboratories to validate a seal’s classification. Labs must be accredited according to ISO/IEC 17025 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories) to perform testing specific to ISO 17712.
