Proper Use of Certification & Certification Mark

At Elite Quality & Standardization Certificates – L.L.C. – S.P.C. (Elite QSC), we uphold the integrity of our certification system through well-defined procedures for the use of issued certificates and certification marks. Certified organizations are expected to comply strictly with these guidelines to maintain transparency, impartiality, and credibility in the marketplace.

Purpose & Scope

This guidance ensures that certified clients use the certificate and certification mark issued by Elite QSC in a manner that is accurate, appropriate, and does not mislead end users, partners, or regulatory bodies.

These procedures apply to all clients certified by Elite QSC for management systems such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and others. They define rules concerning the display, reproduction, and promotion of certification status.

Client Responsibilities

Certified clients are responsible for:
• Ensuring full compliance with the outlined usage rules.
• Preventing misuse or misrepresentation of certification.
• Informing Elite QSC of any organizational changes that might affect certification validity.

Use of Certificate

Ownership

All certificates remain the property of Elite QSC.

Validity

Certificates are typically valid for 3 years, subject to successful surveillance audits.

Display Rules

Certificates must only be displayed at certified locations.

They must not imply certification of locations, scopes, or products not covered in the certificate

Relocation Notice

Clients must notify Elite QSC of any site relocation for additional assessment.

Multi-site Caution

If only certain sites are certified, disclaimers must be clearly stated in company-wide documents.

Non-transferable

Certificates cannot be shared or transferred to other entities or sites.

Use of Certification Mark

Eligibility

Only organizations holding a valid certificate are entitled to use the certification mark.

Approved Use

On corporate letterheads, brochures, websites, and advertisements—only if it does not imply product approval.

Alongside the certified organization’s name and not more prominently than their own logo.

Prohibited Use

On products, product packaging, buildings, flags, or test/calibration/inspection reports.

To imply product certification or approval when only the management system is certified.

Termination

Use of the certification mark must cease immediately upon suspension, withdrawal, or expiry of certification.

Misuse and Non-Compliance

Elite QSC actively monitors the use of its certification marks and takes strict actions against misuse, including:
• Formal written notices requesting corrective action.
• Temporary suspension of certification (up to 6 months).
• Permanent withdrawal of certification if misuse continues or corrective action is not taken.
• Legal action, if necessary, for repeated violations.

Important Reminders for Certified Clients

  • Use the certification mark only in the prescribed format and proportion.
  • Do not use the accreditation body’s mark unless explicitly authorized.
  • Contact Elite QSC if you are unsure whether your intended use is compliant.
