Application for recording devices certification

An application request concerns usually a combination of devices. For example: milk meter, sampler and control unit or an automatic sampler on an automatic milk system. This should be specified on the lines below.

Below that, you can specify where the product is used for, for which animals and what type of parlour it was intended. A complete test is a laboratory and field test, a modification test is a partial test based on the level of change, a website update means no changes to the device, but in (brand) name or documentation.

The ICAR Sub-Committee for Measuring, Recording and Sampling devices in association with the ICAR test centers will prepare a project plan based on this request. The final test type will be determined by the test centre.
