Certified clients: read the mark rules
The certification mark may be used on your website, letterhead and marketing material. It must never be applied to a product, its packaging, or a test or inspection report, because that implies product certification rather than management system certification. Misuse is a ground for suspension, and it is almost always accidental — which is exactly why the guidelines are worth ten minutes of your time.
