Certificate No.: 001-21XXX-Q,E,O,F

Use of Mark should be carried out in such a manner, that it ensures traceability back to QMS International Certifications Pty Ltd (QMSI). Our Logo itself includes full name of our Certification Body.

Certified client should ensure that there is no ambiguity, in the mark or accompanying text, as to what has been certified and that QMSI has granted the certification.

The Certification Mark shall not under any circumstances be used on a product or product packaging seen by the consumer or in any other way that may imply that the product(s) itself has been certified by QMSI.

QMSI don't permit its marks to be applied by certified clients to laboratory test, calibration or inspection reports or certificates.

QMSI have established following rules governing the use of any statement on Product Packaging (Product Packaging is considered as that which can be removed without the product disintegrating or being damaged, ex. external corrugated/wooden packing, printed duplex packing) or in Accompanying Information (Accompanying Information is considered as separately available or easily detachable, ex. leaflet, brochure etc.) that the certified client has a certified management system.

Type labels or identification plates are considered as part of the product. Statement on Product Packaging shall in no way imply that the product, process or service provided by client is certified by QMSI. Statement should clearly imply that the Management System is certified.

Statement on Product Packaging or in Accompanying Information shall include reference to:

• a. identification (e.g. brand or name) of the certified client;
• b. the type of management system (e.g. quality, environment) and the applicable standard;
• c. QMSI

The certified organisation shall not display the certification mark on buildings, organisational flags and vehicles except in publicity material like part of a large advertisement.

Should intentional misuse of Certificates or Marks occur then a major CAR shall be raised and an appropriate action may be taken which may include:

• Withdrawal of certificate
• Information of withdrawal to customers and competitors
• Publication of such actions in News papers and,
• If necessary, other legal actions

Should an unintentional misuse of Certificates or Marks occur then dependent upon the severity and extent of misuse an appropriately graded CAR shall be raised.

Should a minor CAR be raised then it must be closed out within three (3) months or the CAR shall be upgraded as 'Major'.

Adherence to the requirements of these procedures shall be examined during each visit to the client.

Instances of non-fulfilment of these requirements may also be discovered by other means and may result in the issuance of a CAR.
