We always value policies and principles related to impartiality in certification activities and declare policies on ensuring impartiality to increase the trust of certification work as follows:

  • All personnel involved in certification activities shall perform their duties fairly.

  • All internal and external risks to the impartiality of the certification body are continuously identified and measures are taken to eliminate or minimize the risk.

    - Designer, operator, provider, or manager of certification process
    - Provide consultation to the client
    - Provide management system advice or internal audit to clients
