Set your mark! DQS MED and IQNet certificates as well as the copyrighted certification symbols are the outer markings of a successful certification – and enjoy an excellent reputation anywhere in the world.
The symbols may be used in a variety of ways: you can put them on your letterhead stationery, on your brochures, or on your vehicles. You can also use them in all your advertisement, at trade fairs or on the Internet.
But please note:
Please see Annex for some design examples.
For organizations with their own website, we recommend placing the information of your successful certification there as well. You may also want to include a link to the customer data base on the DQS Medizinprodukte GmbH’s website – www.dqs-med.de, in order to demonstrate the validity of your certification and for your own legal certainty.
Certificate symbols are available in digital format on the DQS Medizinprodukte GmbH’s website, “good to know” section.
