The AUDEG Certification Body

The AUDEG Certification Body is part of the registered cooperative, but acts independently within AUDEG with regard to activities and decisions on certifications.

The AUDEG Certification Body is a neutral, independent and competent body that performs conformity assessment of management systems. The official recognition as a conformity assessment body takes place for the AUDEG Certification Body within the framework of an accreditation by the Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH (DAkkS). This proves that the AUDEG Certification Body has the competence to carry out the conformity assessment procedure in accordance with the standards. The AUDEG Certification Body is currently undergoing the accreditation procedure by the DAkkS.

The AUDEG Certification Body processes the complaints and objections and informs the complainant or objector about intermediate statuses, if necessary. After the complaint or objection has been processed accordingly, the complainant or objector receives a final response. If an objector does not agree with the AUDEG Certification Body's reasoning and notifies the AUDEG Certification Body again, the Impartiality Council of the AUDEG Certification Body will be involved for mediation.
