Certificate Status & Revocation Policy

1. Validity & Verification

• The only valid IECC certificate is one verifiable via the official IECC verification portal and bearing an authentic certificate number and holder details.
• Certificate status may be shown as Active, Suspended, Revoked, or Expired.
• Verification may require organization/name and certificate number to protect privacy.

2. Suspension

IECC may suspend a certificate where there is evidence of nonconformity, missed surveillance, or pending investigation related to misuse or quality concerns. Suspended certificates are not considered valid during the suspension period. Public notices of suspensions are available in our Suspension & Revocation directory.

3. Revocation

IECC may revoke certificates in cases including, but not limited to: fraud, falsification, persistent nonconformity, misuse of IECC name/marks, or failure to comply with contractual terms. Revocation decisions are documented and reflected in the official status shown through the verification portal.

Revocations are published in our Suspension & Revocation directory.

4. Misuse & Reporting

• Unauthorized reproduction, alteration, or distribution of IECC certificates or logos is strictly prohibited.
• Suspected misuse or forgery should be reported to legal@iecc.world with supporting evidence.
• IECC may notify relevant parties where appropriate and take legal action if necessary.

5. Acceptance & Use

Acceptance and recognition of IECC certificates depend on the policies of individual organizations, contractual requirements, and market practices. Clients should verify suitability for their specific purpose prior to use.
