Abstract: VAAR provision 852.211– 75, Technical Industry Standards, requires that items offered for sale to VA under the solicitation conform to certain technical industry standards, such as Underwriters Laboratory (UL) or the National Fire Protection Association, and that the contractor furnish evidence to VA that the items meet that requirement. The evidence is normally in the form of a tag or seal affixed to the item, such as the UL tag on an electrical cord or a tag on a fire-rated door. This requires no additional effort on the part of the contractor, as the items come from the factory with the tags already in place, as part of the manufacturer’s standard manufacturing operation. Occasionally, for items not already meeting standards or for items not previously tested, a contractor will have to furnish a certificate from an acceptable laboratory certifying that the items furnished have been tested in accordance with, and conform to, the specified standards. Only firms whose products have not previously been tested to ensure the products meet the industry standards required under the solicitation will be required to submit a separate certificate. The information will be used to ensure that the items being purchased meet minimum safety standards and to protect VA employees, VA beneficiaries, and the public.

already in place, as part of the manufacturer's standard manufacturing 
operation. Occasionally, for items not already meeting standards or for 
items not previously tested, a contractor will have to furnish a 
certificate from an acceptable laboratory certifying that the items 
furnished have been tested in accordance with, and conform to, the 
specified standards. Only firms whose products have not previously been 
tested to ensure the products meet the industry standards required 
under the solicitation will be required to submit a separate 
certificate. The information will be used to ensure that the items 
being purchased meet minimum safety standards and to protect VA 
employees, VA beneficiaries, and the public.
