Ethics

Integrity 

We operate in a professional, independent and impartial manner in all activities.

We carry out work honestly and do not tolerate any deviation from its approved methods and procedures. Where approved test methods make provision for tolerances in results, we ensure that such tolerances are not abused to alter the actual test findings. We report data, test results and other material facts in good faith and do not improperly change them, and issue reports and certificates that correctly present the actual findings, professional opinions or results obtained.

Conflicts of interest

We avoid conflicts of interest with any related entity in which we have a financial or commercial interest and to which we are required to provide services.

We avoid conflicts of interest between our companies and/or divisions engaged in different activities which provide services to either the same client or each other.

We ensure that our employees avoid conflicts of interest with our activities.

Confidentiality and Data Protection

We respect the confidentiality and privacy of client’s information and ensure processes are in place to adequately protect such information.
