copy an existing product folder to the current one (you must type the
certificate number of the folder to import). The Import link is not displayed
as long as the certification has not been assigned to a centre and a surveyor.
For example: you signed a certificate for this same product yesterday,
you can copy its data (characteristics, tasks…), instead of making a whole
folder again.
Draft: a secondary web page displays the whole content of the product folder. You may print this draft version and for example:
transmit it to the surveyor at yard (if he does not have an access to VeriSTAR NB);
take it with you to the manufacturer’s, as a checklist of things to do.
