Revoking the Seal of Quality

Once a product is certified to meet the required standards and is awarded the Seal of Quality, it is continuously tested, on at least a monthly basis, to confirm whether or not it continues to meet the requirements. Should a product fall bellow standard, relevant measures are undertaken to rectify the shortcomings. If corrections are not made the Seal is revoked.
