8. Your Obligations with Regard to Your Certification
In this clause, we set out what your obligations are with regard to your certification. Since the certification is a representation to the rest of the world, we require strict compliance with these obligations. We may withdraw your certification immediately if you do not comply with these obligations. We will not need to inform you of the withdrawal beforehand. In addition, we may rely on any other contractual remedies that we may have for breach of contract.
a. Duly to inform us of changes in circumstances – you must inform us immediately in writing of any changes that may occur to your circumstances that are reasonably likely to affect the compliance of your managements system to the standard used for your certification.
b. No misleading statements – you may not make any misleading statement concerning your application or certification to any one. This will include the statements that you make in your own advertising brochures (whether used for internal or external use).
c. No harm caused to BSI’s name – you may not say or do anything that we reasonably believe could have the effect of harming our name or putting us into ill repute. This includes anything that may cause any person to question the authenticity or merit of your certification.
