The aim of this agreement is to avoid multiple assessment of or-

The undersigned parties undertake

its, for the qualification of auditors, for the certification

rocedures being described in mutually exchanged system docume-
nts.

erved the operation of the other party's procedures
- the certification of organizations' Quality Systems, carried
out by the other party according to procedures and described
in documents provided by this agreement, is equivalent to its
own certification;
- the certificates issued by the other party for a given quality
assurance model and a given scope of activity, are equivalent
to certificates issued by itself.
Each of the parties agrees
- to promote to the best of its ability the acceptability and u-
se by customers of any organization the Quality System of whi-
ch has been certified by either party;

ix to certificates issued by itself the following statment of

is hereby confirmed that this DQS certificate is equivalent to

che Gesellschaft zur Zertifizierung von Qualitatsmanagementsyst-

Report.
Should an organization located in one country specifically wish-
es to be audited by the party of the other country, this latter
party will inform the other party, and arrangement for carrying
out the quality audit, issuing a certificate(s) and surveillance
of this organization's Quality Syetem will be agreed by the two
parties and this organization.

to Party (b). Surveillance of the organization's Quality System
will be agreed by the two parties.

isits in order to ensure the equivalent execution of the agre-
ed procedures;

ent modifying its own procedures;
- to maintain contact with each other to ensure the smooth appl-
ication of this agreement-representatives of both parties will
meet periodically to review its operation and resolve any pro-
blems which may have arisen;
