Style guide for the QS certification mark
12
Authorised users can also use the QS certification mark for
advertising purposes.
Companies which participate in the QS scheme
can use the QS certification mark to communicate
and advertise their certification, the availability
of foods with the QS certification mark or their
commitment to safe food and support for the QS
scheme. In commercial communication too, use
of the QS certification mark is only possible as
defined by this style guide. If a company is not
eligible to deliver into the QS scheme – even if
only temporarily – the mark may not be used.
Accompanying documents, bills of delivery and
other business papers
The QS certification mark can be included in
business documents to indicate QS certification.
The area for which the company has QS certifica-
tion must be indicated clearly.
The mandatory labelling of goods from the QS
scheme for traceability purposes on accompa-
nying papers and delivery notes can be done in
text form (suffix ‚QS‘) or by using the QS certifi-
cation mark.
Information on QS certification in online
communication
The QS certification mark can also be used in the
internet or in e-mail communication under consi-
deration of the same rules as those that apply in
print communication.
