Independence and impartiality
VALIDOC operates independently from any training or consultancy organization. We provide no training in the schemes we certify.
Our shareholders have experience in the training sector through legally separate entities. VALIDOC itself has no training activity. This structural separation is the foundation of our impartiality.
Safeguards protecting the integrity of our certification decisions include:
- organizational separation from all training activities
- a documented conflict of interest policy
- transparent governance and decision-making procedures
- confidentiality commitments from all staff involved in certification
Définition Certification
An independent certification body evaluates and certifies competences without being involved in training or consultancy in the same field. This independence guarantees the impartiality of the certificate and its credibility with clients, auditors and contracting authorities.
Quality and accreditation
VALIDOC holds the Qfor quality certification, the Belgian quality label for assessment and evaluation organisations.
ISO/IEC 17065 implementation
We are implementing a management system in accordance with ISO/IEC 17065, the international standard for bodies certifying products, processes and services. This implementation covers:
- governance and impartiality framework
- separation of evaluation and certification decision functions
- conflict of interest management
- complaint and appeal procedures
- documented and auditable certification processes
An internal audit is planned for July 2026 as part of this implementation process. We are preparing our accreditation with BELAC, the Belgian national accreditation body, as the next formal step.
REDcert-EU
We intend to extend our certification activities to sectoral sustainability schemes, including certification under REDcert-EU. The ISO/IEC 17065 framework currently being implemented provides the governance foundation required for this extension.
