Jodova does not practice any form of discrimination such as hidden discrimination by speeding up or delaying the processing of applications. The policies and procedures under which Jodova operates and their administrations are non-discriminatory. Procedures are not used to impede or inhibit access by applicants, other than as provided in ISO/IEC 17065. Jodova makes its services accessible to all applicants, whose activities fall within the scope of its operations. Access to the certification process is not conditional upon the size of the client or membership of any association or group, nor conditional upon the number of certifications already issued. There is no undue financial or other condition. Jodova can decline to accept an application or maintain a contract for certification from a client when fundamental or demonstrated reasons exist, such as the client participating in illegal activities, having a history of repeated non-compliance with certification/product requirements, or similar client-related issues. Jodova confines its requirements, evaluation, review, decision, and surveillance to those matters specifically related to the scope of certification as per the defined certification scheme.
