What confidence level A means
The object of the standard and the test or classification method both match. The two standards are usually interchangeable for procurement purposes, but the edition year must still be checked.
How to use this
A cross-reference tells you where to look, not what the answer is. If the level is A or B, ask your supplier for a test report against the ASEAN standard and compare the measured values with the limits in that standard. If the level is C or D, treat the two documents as separate requirements and check each clause. If the level is E, the product may be regulated under a different instrument in the destination country — for example a food-contact or electrical-safety regulation rather than a product standard — and you should confirm with the importing authority.
