Impartiality Policy

Qualis International Certification is committed to impartiality during the provision of management system certification services to all organizations in an independent and impartial manner.

Qualis fulfils the requirements of ISO/ IEC 17021-1:2015 and ensures that impartiality is followed by all its personnel related with the certification activities from time to time.

Qualis has established processes to identify, analyse, evaluate, treat, monitor, and document risks related to conflict of interests arising from provision of certification including any conflicts arising from its relationships on an ongoing basis. In case of threats to impartiality, Qualis documents and demonstrates elimination or minimization of such threats. This demonstration covers all potential threats that are identified, whether they arise from within Qualis or from activities of other persons, bodies or organisations. Whenever a relationship poses an unacceptable threat to impartiality, then the certification will not be provided.

To demonstrate effective Implementation of our Impartiality policy, we at Qualis will:

• not certify another certification body for its.
  •  not provide Management Consultancy services for realization, continuity and sustenance of certification.
  •  not conduct internal audits of our certified clients. Qualis will not certify a management system on which Qualis has provided internal audits for a minimum period of two years following the conduct of internal audit.
  • not provide its services either marketed or offered as linked with organisations providing management consultancy.
  • not outsource audits to any management system consultancy organization nor allow any auditor, who was responsible for providing management system consultancy towards client to be involved in audits.
  • not state or imply that certification would be simpler, easier, faster or less expensive.
  • Take-action to respond to any threats to its impartiality arising from the actions of other persons, bodies or organization.
  • Qualis personnel, both external and internal, or committees, who could influence certification activities will not allow any commercial, financial or other pressures to compromise impartiality.

Qualis requires revealing and recording of any situation of conflict of interest from its personnel for taking appropriate steps.
