RULES FOR THE USE OF LOGO OR MARK IN ADVERTISING AND PUBLICITY

VCPL will provide its certified clients with the relevant VCPL certification mark(s).

Before using the certification mark, registered clients are requested to ensure that they comply with the following rules

The certification mark may only be used by registered clients of VCPL issued with an accredited certificate. Certified organisations cannot use the mark of the Accreditation Board anywhere.

Marks other than the testing and calibration marks may not be used on test calibration reports and certificates, respectively.

If the scope of certification does not include all products and/or services provided by the organization, and/or all locations/facilities of the organization, the material bearing the mark shall not suggest that all products/services/sites/locations of the organization are covered by the scope of certification.          

VCPL should avoid the use of the same mark to indicate different systems of conformity certification/registration (for example product certification and management system certification/registration) and should avoid confusion between the meanings of its own marks if there are more than one.

The certificate gives information regarding the company name and registration address. Any subsidiary companies and addresses not included on the certificate are not covered by the registration.

The certification mark may only be used in correspondence, advertising and promotional material, which relates to the company’s scope of registration.

Upon withdrawal or termination of its certification, the client shall discontinue its use of all advertising material that contains a reference to certification, and take actions as required by the certification scheme and any other required measures as directed by VCPL.
