Role within BEQUAL CERTIFICATE

Specialist evidence for the Equal Opportunities area.

FemCert remains an independent specialist certification with its own methodology, criteria and certification decision.

BEQUAL CERTIFICATE does not replace FemCert or repeat its underlying assessment. It reviews whether the certificate is credible, current, relevant and applicable to the organisation and scope included in the BEQUAL CERTIFICATE application.

A verified FemCert certificate may support one of the diversity areas required for a BEQUAL CERTIFICATE, Silver or Gold level. The awarded level depends on the complete set of eligible certifications submitted by the applicant.

Independent documentary verification

What the BEQUAL CERTIFICATE auditor reviews.

The name or logo of a certification is not sufficient on its own. Every supporting certificate is assessed individually.

Issuer

The identity and competence of the body responsible for issuing the certificate.

Validity and status

The certificate is current, active and has not been suspended or withdrawn.

Organisational scope

The legal entity, sites and operations covered match the BEQUAL CERTIFICATE application.

Certified coverage

The verified evidence is sufficient and relevant to the Equal Opportunities area.

FemCert names, logos and trade marks belong to their respective owner. Their appearance on this website does not imply ownership, partnership, endorsement or automatic acceptance by BEQUAL CERTIFICATE.
