DQS complaint process


A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction, other than appeal, by any interested party to DQS, relating to certification activities of DQS, its staff, Representatives and Auditors or to its certified DQS customers, where a formal response is explicitly or implicitly expected.

An appeal is defined as a request by a DQS client for reconsideration of a certification decision. Appeals are decided by a separate impartial technical reviewer (preferably the respective program manager) and not involved in the conduct of the audit nor the initial decision.  Before decision making, responsible management of the accredited DQS entity shall be consulted. The process shall not affect nonconformity management or certificate decertification timelines.

The submission, investigation and decision on complaints or appeals shall not result in any discriminatory actions against the complainant or appellant. 

To file any complaints or appeals with the notified body DQS Medizinprodukte GmbH, kindly email your concerns to [email protected]. You will find a description below at the bottom of the page. We will contact you immediately and make every effort to find a solution. All other complaints or appeals for any other entity shall be entered below.

However, if you wish to report a violation by DQS auditors or employees of our DQS Policies, Values, Code of Ethics or any law, please go to the https://www.dqsglobal.com/intl/contact/violation
