From January 2023, a new logo will identify the management system certifications issued by IMQ.

Starting from January 2023, management system certifications issued by IMQ will be distinguished by a new mark: "IMQ Certified" will in fact take the place of the "CSQ" logo.

 

 

This update has been intended to better support our customers in communicating their quality.

The new graphic solution chosen to identify the certification of management systems will in fact allow our clients to communicate with further immediacy the type of certification obtained. The new mark, in fact, in addition to the standard and the year of issue, will show in full the name of the corresponding management system and, clearly visible, the word "certified".

The "IMQ Certified" mark will also make it possible to benefit from the broad recognisability of the IMQ logo, identified internationally as synonymous of authority and reliability.

 

Modalities and timeframe for adaptation

The mark changes will apply to all organisations with a management system certified by IMQ. Customers will be able to start using the new mark immediately by requesting the relevant graphic file at the following e-mail address: loghi.csq@imq.it

Certificates with the new mark will instead be sent when the certificate will be reissued, due for renewal, extension or other change.

All organisations certified by IMQ will have 36 months (starting from 1 January 2023) to update the certification logo on various documents (e.g. letterheads, commercial publications, financial statements and monographs, ...) and in the various communication channels (websites, company vehicles, billboards and advertising pages, ...).

 

E-mail address to request the new mark and applicable Rules

In order to request the files of the new IMQ mark relating to the certification of management systems, certified organisations may send an email to loghi.csq@imq.it  indicating the standard(s) according to which the certification has been obtained.
