To avoid confusion with accreditation, documents issued to show compliance to this section must avoid the use
of words such as “Accredited”, “Accreditation”, “Certified”, or “Certification Mark”. Only issue a “Letter of
Conformance” referencing the successful assessment to the intent of ISO/IEC Guide 25 or 17025.
