Public Certification Resources

Impartiality

The Healthcare Standards Institute certification body operates under a management system in compliance with ISO 17065. Therefore, we have strong measures in place to ensure the impartiality of our work. Some of these measures include signed policies and declarations, signed impartiality contracts with auditors, procedures for confidentiality and impartiality, an Impartiality Committee, and a Risk Register where risks to impartiality are identified, classified and controlled. The implementation of our control measures are verified through both internal and external audits, and discussed during a formal management review process.

Complaint and Appeal

Our desire is that you are completely satisfied with your certification experience, and we will work hard to make that a reality. However, we realize that circumstances may arise where you would like to communicate a concern. HSI has procedures for both complaints and appeals. Please use the below resources for more information.

HSI shall make its services accessible to all applicants whose activities fall within HSI‘s scope of its operations and shall confine its activities to the compliance assessment, review, decision, and ongoing surveillance specifically related to a client’s management system certification or accreditation.
