Institute of European Standards and Quality 
Application of these terms
These terms concern use of this website and its public content. A contract for a service, a programme rule or a publication licence may impose separate conditions for its subject.
These website terms concern the website operated by Institute of European Standards and Quality (IESQ).
Use of information
Read content within its date, scope and stated purpose. Explanatory material does not replace an applicable standard, legal text or product-specific evaluation. An article or summary is not an authority to claim a formal result.
Intellectual property
Content is subject to the rights and permissions identified for it. Access to a file does not necessarily permit reproduction, translation or redistribution. Third-party content retains its own rights.
Acceptable use
Do not misrepresent an institutional relationship or result, interfere with website operation, attempt unauthorised access or submit information you are not entitled to disclose. Public enquiry routes must not be used to distribute unrelated or abusive material.
External resources
Links identify relevant external resources or service routes. Their operators are responsible for their content and arrangements. A link is not an unstated partnership, endorsement or transfer of authority.
Results and representations
An issued result is governed by its own scope and conditions. Website content must not be extracted or combined to imply a result, right or authorisation that has not been granted. Current status and permitted mark use remain relevant.
Responsibility and applicable rights
Information is used in its stated context. Nothing in these terms removes a right or responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded. Any further allocation of responsibility must be considered with the applicable law and relationship.
Website information is provided for general information. Check the applicable original requirements, document edition and agreed scope before relying on it for a technical or commercial decision. Nothing in these terms limits rights or liabilities that cannot lawfully be limited.
Applicable law and contact
Questions should identify the content or use concerned. The contractual entity and applicable legal arrangements are identified in the approved terms and relevant service documentation.
Mandatory applicable law remains unaffected. A service, membership or programme arrangement is governed by its own agreed terms; this website does not establish a separate contractual jurisdiction for those arrangements.
Version
Effective date: 19 October 2026. Revisions apply to subsequent website use; applicable service agreements retain their own change provisions.
