PCI Certification Logos Policy and Use

The use of the PCI certification logos is carefully controlled. Each PCI Certified Plant is clearly instructed and monitored regarding PCI logo usage and display.

PCI certification logos cannot be used on a product, packaging including laboratory test, calibration or inspection report, or in a way that may be interpreted as denoting product conformity. The PCI certification logos allow precast/prestressed concrete manufacturing plants certified by PCI to demonstrate to the market that they have been certified. Authorization to use the PCI certification logos is granted to precast/prestressed concrete manufacturing plants which have positively completed and continue to operate in compliance to the PCI Plant Certification Program process.

The PCI Certified Plant is informed that the mark of accreditation body is to be used only in relation to the scope sectors for which the management systems certification scheme of PCI is accredited, and use of the logo is to refer exclusively to the services or management aspects subject to certification by PCI and to which the certificates of compliance issued by PCI refer.

PCI maintains the sole ownership of all certificates it provides. To help protect against the risks of counterfeiting any interested party may contact PCI to verify the validity of a certificate.

Auditors are responsible for checking on the usage of the certification ad PCI logo during surveillance and renewal audits.
