Certification Decisions Our certification decisions are based solely on the evidence presented to us during the certification process. We do not discriminate against any applicant or certified organization and treat all clients equally and fairly.
Appeals Process We have an independent appeals process in place to ensure that our clients have an opportunity to challenge any decisions that they believe are unfair or unjust. The appeals process is accessible, fair, and impartial and is handled by personnel who are not involved in the original certification decision.
Continuous Improvement We are committed to continually reviewing and improving our policies and procedures to ensure that we remain impartial and objective in all our certification activities.
At AESI ISO Certification Body, we take our commitment to impartiality and objectivity seriously. We believe that this commitment is essential to the credibility and integrity of our certification services and we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of impartiality in all our activities.
