Logo Use & Certificate Marks
Certificate holders may reference AQX only in a way that matches the verified holder, approved scope, route, status, and validity period.
Clear rules for applicants, certificate holders, buyers, and relying parties.
These pages are written to support practical use: what AQX expects, what the holder may claim, how concerns are handled, and what information should be sent when clarification is needed.
Use the exact scope
Do not imply that unreviewed products, locations, services, or legal entities are covered by the certificate.
Keep status current
Do not use certificate references after expiry, suspension, withdrawal, cancellation, or status change.
Do not alter records
Do not edit certificate wording, verification screenshots, logos, dates, status labels, or IECC-related references.
Link to verification
Where possible, use the public verification link so buyers can check holder, scope, date, route, and status directly.
How AQX handles this governance topic.
Receive
Use the certificate holder name exactly as shown in the public record.
Classify
Use certificate marks only with the approved scope and validity period.
Review
Avoid phrases that imply government, IAF, or regulator approval unless expressly supported by the certificate route.
Respond
Ask AQX before publishing unusual claims, combined marks, or buyer-facing statements.
Important note
Misuse of logos, certificate references, or verification records may lead to correction requests, suspension, withdrawal, or public clarification.
For certificate-specific questions, include the holder name, certificate ID, scope wording, and the reason the record is being reviewed.
