Change of UKAS accreditation symbol
The United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) has introduced a new single generic management system accreditation symbol.

It will replace all of the existing management system accreditation symbols that specify the type of management system covered by the accreditation.

What are the timelines?
You will need to update relevant materials before the end of December 2013.

What are the consequences for you?
If you are using LRQA’s joined marks to promote your certification(s), you will need to cease using the LRQA joined marks that include specific management system accreditation symbols, and switch to the new joined mark(s).

If you are in the process of renewing a certification, your certificate will include the new accreditation mark and you will need to start to use the new joined mark(s).

What does it really mean?
LRQA will progressively provide you with the new joined marks, combining the relevant product approval mark(s) with the new single generic management system accreditation symbol.

Example of the joined mark for quality management

英国国家认可委员会(UKAS)的认可标志的变化

英国国家认可委员会(UKAS)决定将所有管理体系的认可标志统一为一个通用的认可标志适用于所有的管理体系。

目前是每一种管理体系都有一个相对应的认可标志。此变化仅限于英国国家认可委员会(UKAS)授权的管理体系标志。

时间表

对您所造成的影响/后果
如果贵公司在一些宣传资料上使用了劳氏质量认证(LRQA)和英国国家认可(UKAS)管理体系认证标志，请逐步更新使用新的标志。

我们将在未来的三年中逐步更新贵公司认证证书上的认可标志。

实际行动计划
LRQA将漸進地提供新的管理体系认证标志的图样，标志使用说明，一并存在USB盘里，邮寄给贵公司。
