Full title and description

St IECEE OD-5002-F3-2021 — IECEE Operational Document form OD-5002-F3 (2021). This document is the CTL Provisional Decision Sheet (PDSH) form used by the IECEE Committee of Testing Laboratories (CTL) to record provisional decisions, enquiries and related procedural items within the OD-5002 framework.

Abstract

OD-5002-F3 (2021) provides the standardized template for recording provisional CTL decisions arising from ETF/WG enquiries and CTL processes. It supports the enquiry → provisional decision → decision workflow described in the OD-5002 suite and was later consolidated into updated OD-5002 forms in the 2024 revision.

General information

• Status: Retired / superseded (form OD-5002-F3 was combined into newer OD-5002 forms as part of OD-5002 Ed.4.0 updates).
• Publication date: 2021 (form designation year 2021).
• Publisher: IECEE (IEC System for Conformity Assessment — Committee of Testing Laboratories), published under IEC/IECEE auspices.
• ICS / categories: IECEE operational document / CTL procedural form (part of the IECEE OD-5002 family for CTL procedures and enquiry/decision handling).
• Edition / version: Form OD-5002-F3 — 2021 edition (later marked retired in OD-5002:2024 Ed.4.0).
• Number of pages: Typically a short form (estimate: 1–4 pages) — OD forms are concise templates rather than long standards. (estimate).

Scope

OD-5002-F3 (2021) is scoped as a procedural form within the OD-5002 suite: to capture and document provisional CTL decisions (PDSHs) resulting from ETF/WG enquiries, to record the context and rationales for provisional decisions, and to be used in the CTL enquiry → review → decision workflow. The broader OD-5002 document defines the enquiry process, responsibilities of ETF/WGs, timelines and the mechanics for converting provisional decisions into final Decision Sheets.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized provisional decision (PDSH) template for CTL use (recording proposer, subject, technical background, proposed provisional decision, and actions).
• Support for the CTL enquiry process (tracking numbers, ETF/WG convenor actions, CTL Secretary posting and publication steps).
• Procedural timelines for enquiry circulation and response (workflow illustrated in Annex A of OD-5002).
• Interfaces with ETF/WG reports, CTL Officers, IEC TC/SC consultations and final Decision Sheet publication steps.
• Integration into the OD-5002 forms set (related forms include OD-5002-F1, F6, and later F7/F8 after consolidation).

Typical use and users

Primary users are IECEE CTL participants: National Certification Bodies (NCBs), CB Testing Laboratories (CBTLs), CTL ETF/WG convenors and members, CTL Officers (Chair/Secretary) and the IECEE Secretariat. Manufacturers and other stakeholders may interact indirectly via NCB submissions. Typical use cases include recording ETF/WG provisional decisions arising from technical enquiries, capturing context for later CTL review, and supporting publication of CTL decisions.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: OD-5002-F3-2021 is not a technical product safety standard but an IECEE operational form — the CTL Provisional Decision Sheet (PDSH) template used to record provisional decisions within the CTL enquiry/decision process.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the format and fields needed to capture a provisional CTL decision (background, proposer, proposed action, rationale, and follow-up), and fits into the OD-5002 enquiry → provisional decision → decision workflow.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: IECEE CTL stakeholders — NCBs, CBTLs, ETF/WG convenors and members, CTL Officers and the IECEE Secretariat — use it as part of normal CTL enquiry handling and decision documentation. Manufacturers may be involved indirectly via NCBs.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The OD-5002-F3 (2021) form has been retired/superseded by the OD-5002 Ed.4.0 updates (2024), which consolidated several F‑forms (including F3) into new form F8 and introduced F7 for adding new standards; OD-5002 Ed.4.0 is the controlling document for current procedure and forms. Users should refer to the latest OD-5002 edition and the IECEE website/secretariat for the authoritative, current form set.
