The impartiality and independence, of the Institute's certification and conformity assessment body is supervised by the Governing Board, which, in accordance with the regulations, annually evaluates the principles of the financial policy of the body in terms of its impartiality and the potential impact of commercial factors on the objective conduct of certification activities.
Impartiality
ITG KOMAG in the field of certification and conformity assessment, bearing in mind the public confidence in the conducted processes of certification of management systems, products, services, conformity assessment, makes every effort to maintain impartiality during them and to be perceived as an impartial entity, and thus contribute to confidence for the entire system of certification and conformity assessment.
Our goal is to make certification and conformity assessment decisions on the basis of objective evidence of conformity (or non-conformity) obtained and the absence of influence of any interest groups or other parties on these decisions.
To this end, an Impartiality Policy has been established and a Governing Board has been established to periodically assess the impartiality of the Certification Body's Attestation Department's certification and conformity assessment activities.
