Guidelines for Use of Registration / Accreditation Marks
This document establishes guidelines for the use of ISAC's Registration Mark, the ISAC name
and Accreditation Symbol, and any other registration documents, statements, or reports.
Issuance of a Certificate of Registration authorizes you to use ISAC's Registration Mark and the
ISAC Accreditation Symbol in advertising and promotional materials subject to the following
conditions:
1. ISAC's Registration Mark may be used alone. The ISAC Accreditation Symbol may
only be used with ISAC's Registration Mark.
2. When using the ISAC Accreditation Symbol, its size must not exceed the size of ISAC's Registration
Mark.
3. When using the ISAC Accreditation Mark, it shall be reproduced:
a. In Green or in blue (JKB 532 or equivalent) and red (JKB 920 or equivalent) on a
white or light-colored background or in white on a dark-colored background.
b. In a size that makes all features of the symbol clearly distinguishable.
c. Without distortion of its dimensions.
4. Registrant shall not use ISO’s copyrighted logo; shall not adapt or
modify ISO’s logo for use; and shall not use a modified or changed
ISOlogo.
5. Registrants shall only use the ISAC Accreditation Mark provided by ISAC, not ISAC’s logo:
6. Registrant shall not use “ISO certified”, or “ISO certification”. ISO
develops International Standards. ISO is not an auditor,
assessor, registrar, or certifier of management systems, products,
services, materials, or personnel, nor does it endorse or control
any such activities performed by other parties.
Use “ISO 9001:2015 certified” or “ISO 9001:2015 certification”. Use the full designation (not just
“ISO 9001”).
7. There shall be no ambiguity in any statements of certification as to what has been certified and
which certification body has granted certification. This can be accomplished by stating “by
ISAC” or using our logo per these guidelines, or including a link to your Certificate near the
statement, or actually displaying your Certificate along with the statement.
8. Do say your organization has been “accredited.”
9. Registrants are not required to use
ISAC’slogo or ISAC’s symbol but should
you choose to, ISAC can provide
options, including:
10. We suggest you consider the fact that the ISO Standard designations do change over time
(ex. ISO 9001:2008 changed to ISO 9001:2015), so materials that display the designation may
become out of date before your supply of the material is depleted.
11. Do Not display ISO 9001:2015 certification marks on products, product labels, or product packaging.
12. Neither ISAC's Registration Mark, the ISAC Accreditation Symbol, and/or any ISO registered /
certified statements, nor any other registration document or report shall be used in such a
manner as to damage ISAC’s or ISAC’s reputation.
13. Neither ISAC nor registrants shall make any statements regarding registration or use any
document, report, or Mark in a manner that may be considered inaccurate, misleading,
unauthorized or gives the impression in any context that ISO 9001:2015 is a product,
service, or process guarantee. Marks may only be used in reference to your quality
management system.
14. Upon withdrawal of a registration, the registrant shall discontinue its use of all advertising
material containing reference certification, to ISAC’s Registration Mark, and the ISAC
name or AccreditationMark.
