After the selection and evaluation, the IPICB product certification department assigns its test activities only to the bodies that meet the applicable requirements of the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for testing laboratories.

In order to use sub-contractors, the IPICB enters into a legally binding contract with the sub-contractor, which includes rules related to confidentiality and conflict of interest.

IPICB:

1. Takes responsibility for outsourced activities
2. Ensures that subcontractors and their personnel do not act directly or through other recruiters in a way that undermines the validity of the results.
