Certification Conditions
Provisions on the handling of the certification and certificates
1. The use of the certification includes:
- Remarks in written, visual or oral form with regards to the fact of the certification,
- Use of original certificates, copies and further representations of the certificates,
2. The rules of use are as follows:
- When using, only the actual certification basis and the statement of the certification may be referenced.
- The owner of the certificate will not use the certification in a way which might contradict the aims and objectives of ISEGA Cert GmbH or might discredit ISEGA Cert GmbH.
- The owner of the certificate will not make any statements with regards to the certification, which might be considered as not authorized by ISEGA Cert GmbH.
- Should the owner of the certificate not be sufficiently certain about the use of the certification in context with the present provisions, he/ she obliges to precautionarily ask the certification body for consent for the intended form of use.
- All rights of use of the certification (including certificates and symbols) terminate with expiry of the certificate or with a premature declaration of invalidity (such as suspension or withdrawal of the certificate).
- After a declaration of invalidity or expiry of the validity, the certification may no longer be used for promotional purposes, and any impression of an existing certification is to be avoided.
- The certification, a certificate or the certification symbol must neither be passed on to third parties nor to legal successors without permission by ISEGA Cert GmbH and must not be subject to an assignment agreement, to a sale or to another enforced legal measure.
3. The use of the certificates, by presentation of the original certificates, copies of them or further visual representation is permitted. It has to be ensured that all certification components are legible or in case of a smaller, not completely legible presentation, all non-legible contents have to be explained separately.
4. When passing on the certificate, the owner is not obliged to enclose further data. This needs to be clarified with the client. ISEGA Cert GmbH is not obliged to pass enclosures on to third parties.
5. Certificates, which are owned by the owner of the certificate, remain property of ISEGA Cert GmbH and have to be immediately returned to ISEGA Cert GmbH after a withdrawal, unless they have duly expired or their elimination needs to be confirmed in written.
6. ISEGA Cert GmbH obliges to communicate any changes affecting the certification to the owner of the certificate. If modifications in existing certificates affect the basis, the certificate must be changed or withdrawn. The owner of the certificate needs to assist in the implementation of these points and, if necessary, needs to apply for a new evaluation and certification.
The demands for the certification can change, if for example
- the legal basis changes
- specific demands were adapted
- new knowledge or analytical information is at hand
7. ISEGA Cert GmbH obliges to keep all knowledge, obtained with regards to an order, confidential against third parties and to not pass it on without permission. This excludes administrative orders and surveillance in the course of accreditation.
