Amtivo (Ireland) Limited (\u201cAmtivo\u201d) is a certification body accredited by the Irish National Accreditation Board (“INAB”) to provide the audit and certification of the Client\u2019s management systems to relevant standards. These Certification Regulations set out the respective obligations of Amtivo and the Client to each other in relation to all activities that form part of the certification process (\u201cCertification Activities\u201d) carried out by, or on behalf of, Amtivo.<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n\t
  1. \r\n
      \r\n\t
    1. Amtivo shall perform the Certification Activities using reasonable care and skill. Where Amtivo has subcontracted aspects of the Certification Activities to a third party, Amtivo shall remain legally responsible for the Certification Activities.<\/li>\r\n\t
    2. The Client shall fully co-operate in relation to arranging any audits required by the Certification Activities, including making provision for examining documentation and providing access to all processes and areas, records and personnel.<\/li>\r\n\t
    3. The Client shall agree to the presence of an INAB and\/or Amtivo observer should INAB and\/or Amtivo wish to assess the provision of the Certification Activities.<\/li>\r\n\t
    4. The Client acknowledges that where the Client has entered into this agreement as a result of an introduction to Amtivo by a third party, that third party may obtain a commission as a result of the introduction.<\/li>\r\n\t
    5. Following Certification, the Client may use and display certification badges and\/or make reference to their certification status, subject to the restrictions set out by Amtivo in its guidelines, a copy of which is available at https:\/\/amtivo.com\/ie\/certification-badge-guidelines\/<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n\t
    6. In order to maintain Certification for the remainder of the certification cycle, the Client acknowledges that further annual audits will need to be undertaken by an accredited certification body. More information on the Certification cycle can be found at https:\/\/amtivo.com\/ie\/resources\/technical\/the-three-year-iso-certification-cycle\/<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n\t
    7. The Client shall notify Amtivo, without delay, of matters which may affect the capability of the Client’s management system to continue to fulfil the requirements of Certification. These matters include, but are not limited to:-\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

      • occurrence of a serious incident or breach of regulation necessitating the involvement of the competent regulatory authority (in the event of a serious incident and the involvement of the competent authority, a special audit may be necessary, and the outcome of the investigation recorded).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\t
      • Where there is evidence that the Client\u2019s management system no longer meets the requirements of Certification, or has seriously failed to meet the certification requirements, this shall provide grounds for Amtivo to decide on action to be taken, up to and including suspension or withdrawal of certification<\/li>\r\n\t
      • Amtivo and INAB shall have the right to display the Client’s certification and current audit status in the public domain for inspection.<\/li>\r\n\t
      • The Client shall, in connection with its activities and the operation of its business, comply with fair and equitable business practices, namely all relevant laws, regulations, and codes in relation to:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

            • Amtivo shall treat as confidential all Confidential Information received from the Client and shall not use or disclose such Confidential Information except as necessary for the performance of the Services under this Agreement. Amtivo shall disclose the Client\u2019s Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the Client, except where disclosure is:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
                \r\n\t
              • required by law or by any judicial, governmental, regulatory or accreditation body; or<\/li>\r\n\t
