Guidlines in Logo Usage

The rules over the use of the logo are as follows:

• A registered client may use the Integrated Assessment Services Registration Logo 
• in conjunction with any applicable Accreditation Logo on the clients stationery 
• and literature, subject to the conditions below and to the conditions for use of the 
• registration mark.
• The Registration Logo shall be reproducedIn black or in the predominant 
• color of the letterhead or printing On a clearly contrasting background
• In a size which makes all features of the mark clearly distinguishable.
• The logo shall not be used in such a way as to suggest that Integrated Assessment 
• Services has certified or approved any product or service of a registered client, or in 
• any other misleading manner.
• This table below provides guidance on the use of registration marks for indicating 
• when a product has been made under a registered quality management system.
• This could be a tangible product itself or product in an individual package, container, 
• etc. 
• In the case of testing/analyzing activities, it could be a test/analysis report.
• This could be over-packaging made of cardboard etc. that can be reasonably 
• considered 
• as not reaching end users.
• This applies to marks that have a specific form including some basic description 
• of its applicability. A statement in words alone does not constitute a mark in this 
• sense. 
• Any such wording should be true and not mislead.
• This could be a clear statement that "(This product) was manufactured in a 
• plant whose quality management system is certified/registered as being in 
• conformity with ISO 9001".
• When using symbols or logos, adequate attention should be paid to avoid 
• infringement of the logo requirements given above.

Misuse

Integrated Assessment Services will determine whether the registration mark is used
only in strict accordance with these requirements at each surveillance visit. In the
event of misuse,the clients registration will be placed in jeopardy. Unless appropriate
corrective action to rectify the misuse is taken within a period agreed to by the client
and Integrated Assessment Services, the registration shall be suspended. Incorrect
reference to the Registration Logo,or misleading use of certificates found in
advertisements,catalogs, etc.shall be dealt with by suitable action. This could include
corrective action,publication of the transgression,and, if necessary, legal action.
