We have all signed an appropriate independence Charter, so that full
and verifiable impartiality is assured at all times and can be guaranteed
and demonstrated to our customers at any time with regard to all activities
both for and on behalf of the company and our customers. Thus possible
situations involving conflicts of interest can be recognized early and
avoided in time.
Our own quality management system, which we have introduced and maintain,
assures complete impartiality at all stages and in all our areas of
activity - i.e. from the initial inquiry to the issue of our QA certificate.
The strict requirements imposed on us regarding impartiality by virtue
of the standards required of certification companies are stipulated
and specified in the recently applicable ISO 17021 Standard Family.
