ACERTA will only accept the appeals submitted using the form available on our website, as it allows them to be received directly by the appropriate persons.
Appeals communicated orally, for example by telephone or in person, will not be considered official, so this procedure will not be applied.
ACERTA makes a complaint and suggestion form available to staff, which can be used to document these unofficial appeals, so that they can be known and treated by the entity’s top management.
Note: Orally formulated appeals can not be considered official because they do not allow us to show that they have actually been received and can make a commitment to the recipient, especially when they are people with a medium or low level of hierarchy.
When an ACERTA client wishes to express dissatisfaction with a decision of the entity regarding:
- Negative evaluation of inspection or certification results
- Not granting a certificate
- No renewal of a certificate
- Modification or non-modification of the scope of a certificate
- Suspension or cancellation of a certificate.
You must file a formal appeal, using the form available on the web.

- Communication to the appellant of the beginning of the case study.
- Clarification of doubts, if any, on the issue that gives rise to the appeal and even on the reliability of the information provided by the appellant.

Decisions on appeals may not be appealed against ACERTA. However, interested parties can always resort to the dispute resolution procedure provided in the contract.
