KSQA understands the importance
of impartiality and confidentiality in carrying out
its management system certification activities. KSQA
management is committed to gaining and maintaining
the reputation, credibility, and ultimately,
confidence of its stakeholders in rendering its
certification services. Additionally, KSQA strives
to continuously manage foreseen potential conflicts
of duty and interest and ensures the objectivity of
its activities under the management system
certification. To achieve the above, KSQA
identifies, analyzes, records, and manages potential
conflict of duty and interest to ensure that
certification services are not provided within
relationships that have been identified to pose an
unacceptable threat to impartiality. As part of the
management review, a review of impartiality is
performed by an Impartiality Committee.
The Impartiality Committee periodically reviews
activities of the certification function to verify
commitment to credibility and fairness. The
Committee further assists in the development of
policies relating to the impartiality of providing
certification activities. KSQA is committed to
maintaining in strict confidence all information
accessed while rendering the certification services
and ensures that such information is not divulged to
third parties without the Client’s written consent
unless required by law.
