Governance free from conflicts of interest.
Governance free from conflicts of interest.
The Governance system of the Get It Fair schemes and the GIF AP Credentialing System is based on the principles of autonomy and independence among the involved parties, in order to minimize the risk of conflicts of interest. This ensures an effective control system over the proper implementation of the program.
The Code of Ethics defines the principles and rules that anyone with an active role in the programs must sign and comply with.
Governance
The stakeholder commitee
The stakeholder commitee
The Programs are developed with the participation and involvement of the main beneficiaries of conformity assessment activities. For this reason, the stakeholder committee has been established, an independent advisory committee composed of interested parties at national and international level [institutions, industry and professional associations, non-profit foundations and associations, universities, large buyers].
Listening to their needs and their involvement is essential for strategic development and for verifying the effectiveness of the programs with respect to their expectations.
Accreditation bodies
Accreditation bodies
The two programs have been assessed as compliant with international standards ISO/IEC 17029 [Get It Fair] and ISO/IEC 17024 [GIF AP Credentialing System] by a national accreditation body signatory of a global mutual recognition agreement of accreditations.
Accreditation carries out the fundamental functions of verifying the competence, independence and impartiality of the validation bodies [with respect to the ISO standards and the rules of the programs] and of annually monitoring their work.
