System development notice: the standards architecture is in pre-publication development. No ICEQC certification is currently represented as issued by this platform.

Voluntary third-party certification

Certification scopes built around the object being assessed

Each product line defines what is certified, which ICEQC requirements apply, how remote evidence is strengthened and what the certificate must never imply.

Universal decision rule

All applicable requirements fulfilled—or no certificate.

  • C — Conforming
  • NC — Nonconforming and must be closed
  • N/A — only with an objective approved rationale

Remote but evidence-led

Light delivery does not mean light evidence.

ICEQC is designed to avoid routine travel while preserving verification. When documents alone are insufficient, the method escalates to live witnessing, random samples, system demonstrations or recognized specialist evidence.

  1. R-A

    Remote documented — authenticated documents, data, interviews and demonstrations.

  2. R-B

    Remote witnessed — R-A plus live observation, remote tour or independent sampling.

  3. R-C

    Remote plus recognized evidence — R-B plus qualified laboratory, inspection, licence, insurance or specialist evidence.
