Impartiality Statement

1. Commitment

Anavah is committed to impartiality in all certification activities. Conflicts of interest are systematically identified, evaluated and managed.

2. The firewall with VISTA InfoSec

Anavah operates within the VISTA InfoSec group and discloses this openly. Anavah does not certify management systems for which the group has provided consultancy within the required cooling-off period. Personnel, decision-making and commercial incentives are separated so that no auditor or decision-maker benefits from a particular outcome.

3. Independent oversight

An independent Impartiality Committee safeguards the objectivity of certification decisions and reviews potential conflicts.

4. Alignment to international requirements

Our processes align to ISO/IEC 17021-1, and for AI management systems to the requirements for bodies certifying AIMS (ISO/IEC 42006).

5. No outcome is for sale

Certification decisions are never contingent on purchasing any other product or service, and are never predetermined.

Wording on this page must be validated against current ISO/IEC 17021-1 and 42006, and the relevant accreditation body’s rules, before publication.
