EPI will do its utmost to provide audits and audit reports which are meeting the high-quality requirements which can be expected from a Certification Body (CB). However, audits are based on sampling and some audit criteria might be partially subjective. Should an organisation not agree with the auditors’ findings then an appeal can be filed to request an impartial review.
