Congratulations on obtaining GCERTI certification!

Congratulations on your efforts, which have culminated in the credible certification from GCERTI, an ISO management system certification body and ISO auditor training institute accredited by the International Accreditation Standards Agency (IAS) and the Korea Accreditation Board (KAB). This guide has been created to help you effectively promote your certification and smoothly maintain it. Please familiarize yourself with the information below to maximize the value of your certification.

Part 1. Guide to Using Certification Logos and Promotional Materials

You can enhance your company's credibility by publicly announcing your certification. Please use it properly by complying with the regulations below.

1. Basic principles for using certification logos

   • Period of Use: The certificate is valid only within the period of validity (maintained through annual post-audit).
   • Application for Use: The official logo file can be requested through the ‘Certification Logo Application’ menu on the GCERTI website (www.gcerti.com).
   • Key Compliance Point: Use of the certification logo must not be misleading in any way to suggest that the product or service itself is certified.

2. How to Use a Logo Correctly (✅ Use it like this!)

   Permitted Uses of the Logo:

   • Top of company documents, brochures
   • Homepage
   • Business cards, letters, and document templates

   Examples of valid logo combinations:

   • Exclusive use of the certification body (G-CERTI) logo
   • Use the certification body (G-CERTI) logo and the accreditation body (IAS) logo together.
   

3. Incorrect Logo Usage (❌ Don't Use It This Way!)

   Prohibited Uses of the Logo:

   • Not for direct use on products and product packaging
   • Test report, inspection report, calibration report

   Examples of incorrect logo combinations:

   The IAF or accreditation body logos must not be used alone, nor can they be arbitrarily combined without the certification body's logo.

   

4. Sample promotional copy

   When indicating certification status on materials such as documents, websites, or product packaging, the following examples can be utilized.

   [Company Name] has been certified for the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System by G-Certi Certification Body.

   ※ Note: 'Product packaging' refers to any materials that can be removed without dismantling or damaging the product itself.
