The Top Management recognises in the requirements of impartiality and independence, the fundamental principles on which the work of the inspection body must be based and therefore intends, in accordance with point 4 of ISO/IEC 17020:2012, to formalise its willingness to constantly guarantee all the conditions necessary to maintain them.

Specifically, the Top Management is directly committed to ensuring that the Inspection Body:

• always has the authority and resources necessary to ensure the conformity of its activities with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17020:2012;
• is kept free, in the performance of inspection activities, from pressure or conflicts of interest of any kind, operating with independence of assessment from the Top Management;
• retains total independence from other company sectors;
• always maintains an autonomous judgement free from commercial and/or financial conditioning, both internal and external to the company;
• guarantees the maximum confidentiality of data and information relating to the inspection activities performed.

To this end, the Top Management orders that none of the management procedures developed or to be developed internally within the company organisation contain indications and/or prescriptions that conflict with the above.
