Report certificate or mark misuse

Seen an organisation claiming a certification it doesn't hold, using our mark on a product, or implying accreditation it hasn't earned? Tell us. Anyone can report misuse, and every report is investigated under our complaints process.

False certification

Claiming to be certified when they are not, or after a certificate lapsed.

Mark on a product

Using the mark on a product or packaging — certification covers systems, not products.

False accreditation

Implying an accredited scope, or displaying a UAF / Global ACI mark without the right.

Give us as much detail as you can — the organisation, where you saw the claim, and a certificate number if one is shown. If you'd rather stay anonymous, you can, though leaving contact details lets us follow up if we need more.
