The aforementioned directives are mandatory to affix the CE marking on products and are hereinafter also referred to as "Prescriptions". In its certification activities TRI applies the following principles: policies, strategies, procedures are not discriminatory: access to certification services is

allowed to any company that requests it in compliance with these Regulations, without any discriminatory condition of a commercial, financial or of belonging to particular Associations.

o clear separation between staff performing audits and tests and that participates in the certification decision;

o punctual handling complaints, appeals and disputes, as defined in § 8 and 11 of these Regulations;

o abstention from performing activities of assistance in the definition and implementation of the requirement to obtain product certification, either direct or through structures connected to TRI.

Then the authorized staff performs the operations related to methods for conformity attestation with the highest degree of professional integrity and technical competence and it is free from all pressures and inducements, particularly financial, which might influence their judgment and the results of verifications. In particular, it is independent from the pressures that come from all professional categories, groups or persons directly or indirectly interested in the results of the checks.
