Complaints

Do you have a complaints policy?

  • We take complaints seriously and deal with all ‘good faith’ complaints. We have a formal complaints policy which:
  • is fair, open, and transparent
  • is systematic and straightforward
  • is confidential
  • ensures we adopt a positive approach when managing complaints, with both complainant and respondent
  • involves IABSI representatives at the appropriate level and right up to the Regional Manager if necessary
  • ensures we deal with complaints in a timely manner.

What is a ‘good faith’ complaint?

We only deal with good faith complaints. These are complaints that meet all these conditions:

  • are made only after the complainant has made every effort to resolve the problem before approaching IABSI
  • are substantiated with evidence
  • are not subject to legal or regulatory or administrative action
  • are not based on hearsay
  • are not an attempt to discredit or engage in lobbying and/or influencing
  • relate to the performance of an IABSI employee or a certification or inspection body we have accredited.

How do I make a complaint?

All complaints must be made in writing to the Chief Executive Officer.
