Certification Rules & Conditions
These rules explain how AQX handles applications, scope review, certificate use, public verification, corrections, suspension, withdrawal, and applicant responsibilities.
2
Scope must match evidence
AQX may request corrections when the proposed certificate scope is broader than the evidence, activities, sites, or eligibility support.
3
Issuance is not automatic
Payment, application, or document upload does not guarantee issuance. A record is issued only after suitability and evidence review.
Certificate use
Certificate holders must not misrepresent scope, status, or route.
A certificate may be used only for the listed holder, scope, sites, status, dates, and limitations. Buyer acceptance remains subject to the buyer requirement that created the request.
Conditions of use
- Use the certificate only while the record is active.
- Do not imply coverage for unlisted sites or activities.
- Do not alter certificate images, records, or registry links.
- Follow AQX logo and mark-use rules where applicable.
Public verification
Eligible records may appear in the AQX public registry with ID, holder, scope, dates, status, framework note, and limitations.
Suspension or withdrawal
AQX may suspend, withdraw, correct, or remove a record where misuse, incorrect information, non-payment, complaint, or scope issue is identified.
Confidentiality and conflict handling
AQX handles client information according to confidentiality and conflict-of-interest controls, while keeping public registry data limited to verification needs.
Changes after issuance
Certificate holders should notify AQX of material changes to legal name, address, ownership, scope, sites, status, activities, or buyer-facing claims.
