USE OF THE NCS INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION MARKS
After an organisation is granted certification by NCS International, it becomes eligible to use the appropriate NCS International certification marks to promote the fact that the organisation is certified. Use of the certification marks will depend on the certification standard(s) to which certification has been granted and the nature of the business conducted by the certified organisation. NCS International encourages it’s certified clients to use the mark to promote their certification, however, some controls need to be placed on the use of the mark to ensure that it is not inadvertently used in a manner that misrepresents the scope of certification. It is in the interests of both the certified organisation and NCS International that care be exercised in applying the marks to ensure that it does not exaggerate or distort the scope of certification. The following guidelines have been developed to assist in this regard.
The certification marks can and should be used to convey the organisation’s certification to clients and the public. It can be used on: The Mark must only be used by organisations certified by NCS International. It cannot be used by:
a) a parent company ;
b) a subsidiary company ;
c) another company that has any connection with the certified company (e.g. a supplier, a purchaser, a consultant to the company, a franchise, etc);
d) a company whose NCS International Pty Limited certification has been withdrawn or suspended. The Mark must be used in a manner that:-
a) relates directly to the physical locations, products, services, or activities detailed in the Scope of Certification issued by NCS International; and
b) does not imply or suggest that the certification cover physical locations, products, services or activities that are not detailed in the Scope of Certification issued by NCS International. The certification marks must not be used in any manner that implies or creates the impression that NCS International certifies a particular product or service. Certification marks may not be directly used on products. Where the certification marks are used on packaging materials (including labels attached to packaging) they must be used in manner that does not imply certification of the product which is packed in the packaging materials (or to which the labels are attached). It is recommended that wording similar to the following be included adjacent to the marks, where practicable, when they are used on packaging: “Manufactured under a certified quality/environmental/HACCP/safety management system” The above-suggested wording is for guidance and should be tailored to meet the specific requirements. The certification marks can not be used on NATA endorsed test and calibration reports, nor on reports that do not include the NATA endorsement. They may be used on covering documentation accompanying test certificates. REPRODUCING THE MARKS The requirements detailed below are applicable to the reproduction of all NCS International certification marks:
a) Size: The Mark can be reproduced in any size providing the relative proportions of the Mark are not distorted or altered. For very small reproductions of the Mark, such as for use on business cards, the wording under the bottom line of the marks may be omitted for the sake of legibility.
b) Wording: Except for the above modification for small reproductions, no alterations to the style or content of the wording of the Mark are permitted. Companies can, however, add their organisation’s certification number beneath the Mark if they wish, provided it is done in a style harmonious with the Mark.
c) Colours: The Mark may be reproduced in either four-colour, spot colour or monotone formats. The Mark may also be reproduced reversed in white on a coloured background, and for business cards and stationery only, the mark may be reproduced in any single colour to match existing printing.
