This tab hold the list of certificates and reports for the current product folder.
In most cases, there is one certificate per product folder, but you might need to issue several certificates. For example, you need to issue another type of certificate for the product folder, because the manufacturer has requested both an Inspection Report and a CE (European Community) certification.
Screen data
The tab is split in 2 sections:
Certificates:
Reference

their characteristics may be different; you need to indicate which characteristics

will be given to the NS Department.

icon indicates which file should be considered
the reference one.
