Credible governance

Credible certification governance is built on clearly defined roles and responsibilities, transparent and accountable decision-making processes, demonstrable compliance with relevant standards and regulations, and reliable, predictable pathways to market access for certified products and services.

Impartiality

Impartial certification requires that conflicts of interest are systematically identified, assessed and effectively managed, protecting the integrity, independence and credibility of all certification decisions.

Effective controls

Effective control of certification schemes means certification bodies are consistently overseen, performance is regularly monitored and reviewed, and scheme integrity is protected through strong assurance, risk management and control mechanisms across the entire certification lifecycle.
