Quality certification
OPERATIVE CERTIFICATION
Operative certification of the quality of products (goods, services, technologies) is implemented under the auspices of the Institute of Business of the IASHE
Operative certification — is the procedure of authoritative scientific-practical and professional expertise of goods, services, technologies, business management systems, as well as personal knowledge and qualifications, implemented with observance of general principles of the ICSQ-775 standard certification. At the same time operative certification is characterized by significant liberalization of conditions and facilitation of the certification procedure implementation.
Operative certification is carried out in full correspondence with established rules of the ICSQ-775 standard certification taking the below noted differences into account.
In particular, operative certification is carried out only within the expert assessment category of the “Foundation” level. It has the following implementation mechanism:
- Status of the official manufacturer (owner) or seller.
- Application-form of the initiator;
- Contract between the initiator and the IASHE;
- Agreement on accession to the project “ICSQ-775” on terms officially announced by the IASHE.
- Goods, services, technologies, business management systems, personal knowledge and qualifications.
- Determination of the certification object quality level or correspondence to international quality standards.
- Standard specimen of the examined object (if it can be provided);
- Photos of the certification object (photos of all key qualitative features of the object);
- Video review of the certification object (if the expert council considers it necessary);
- Electronic copies of various documents, verifying the status and quality of the certification object, as well as recommendations related to this object, provided by various institutions;

General negative conclusion of the open expertise lowers the recommended level of the certification mark given by the Professional Expert Council by 1 grade. General positive conclusion made by 2/3 of the general number of votes rises it by 1 grade. Open expertise takes place during the calendar year after the statement of the general expert mark of the object by the Professional Expert Council.
