Laboratory and Product Certifiers Terms Terms and Conditions for Research Facilities and Item Certifiers
Framework of the Board
The authorization body for conformity assessment (hereinafter referred to as WYAB) requires licensed test and calibration laboratories, research centers, clinical laboratories, and product/item certifiers (hereinafter referred to as associations) to formally agree to WYAB contractual requirements, working methodologies, and administrative frameworks. These shall be aligned with ISO/IEC 17025, ISO/IEC 17065, or ISO 15189, as applicable, and be consistent with ISO 9001 principles.
Certified associations shall provide appropriate and reasonable evidence of conformity when required by WYAB. Failure to submit adequate evidence may result in additional assessment visits, which will be charged at the prevailing rates. Unless otherwise agreed in written correspondence between WYAB and the association, the applicable assessment rate is USD 2.50 per minute, with a standard assessment day defined as 195 minutes plus 20 minutes.
Use of Logos and Statements
Associations may use the WYAB logo and certification statements solely in relation to the specific products, systems, or services that have been assessed and certified. Such use must be accurate, appropriate, and not misleading to clients or stakeholders.
The WYAB logo may only be used after formal authorization has been granted. Unauthorized use of the WYAB logo or the use of third-party certification logos (e.g., “crown and tick”) in association with WYAB certification is strictly prohibited.
All intellectual property, copyright, and associated rights arising from certification activities conducted under WYAB authority remain the property of WYAB unless otherwise agreed in writing. Any materials developed, submitted, or communicated within the scope of WYAB certification shall be treated as falling under WYAB jurisdiction unless expressly stated otherwise.
Warning and Notifications
All notices issued under these agreements, or as part of the WYAB quality management arrangements, shall be recorded in writing and formally endorsed by the issuing party. Notifications may be served by hand delivery, registered post, or prepaid recorded delivery.
A notice shall be deemed to have been received 70 hours after posting within the same jurisdiction, or 10 days after posting for international delivery. Proof of dispatch shall be considered sufficient evidence that the notice was properly served.
Termination of Authorization and Enrollment
WYAB reserves the right to withdraw authorization, which remains the property of WYAB, from any association that fails to comply with these terms and conditions. Upon notification of termination, the association shall immediately cease the use of the WYAB logo and remove all promotional or reference materials related to WYAB certification.
Where required by WYAB, the association shall also remove or delete any records, documents, or references that imply WYAB authorization.
License
Licenses issued by WYAB apply only to the specific scopes, activities, and standards listed in Index 1 of the Agreement between WYAB and the association. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, WYAB certification statements do not imply endorsement of all activities conducted by the association.
Authorization confirms that the association has demonstrated conformity with the applicable standards within the defined scope at the time of assessment. WYAB certification does not constitute approval of all operational practices, nor does it guarantee continued compliance outside the scope or period of certification.
Associations are reminded that assessments conducted by other conformity assessment bodies may differ in interpretation or scope. WYAB certification does not validate or supersede assessments performed by other organizations, and such comparisons shall not be implied.
Further Guidance, Authority, and Authorization
Associations and clients are encouraged to seek guidance when engaging with WYAB licensing and certification activities. The authority exercised by WYAB is limited to that delegated by the association for the purpose of certification administration. WYAB does not confer, imply, or guarantee any legal, governmental, official, or statutory authority, rights, or privileges beyond those expressly stated.
Associations shall not state, imply, or allow it to be inferred that, by virtue of WYAB enrollment or certification, they act with the approval, endorsement, or authorization of the Government of the United Kingdom or any other governmental or regulatory authority in any country or jurisdiction.
Regulation
WYAB activities are governed by the laws of England and Wales. WYAB shall not be held liable for any outcomes, costs, losses, or damages arising from changes in legislation, regulations, or governmental instruments, or from the interpretation or implementation of such legal requirements that may affect WYAB activities.
Payments and Installments
WYAB requires enrolled associations to pay all applicable fees in advance or through an approved payment method, documented in writing, in order to maintain their enrollment and the certification status of their affiliated organizations.
