Grievances

.

RSB’s Grievance Mechanism ensures that grievances against the implementation of RSB policies and procedures, recognised certification bodies, their certification decisions, and RSB members are handled in a timely, comprehensive, consistent, transparent, and effective manner.

RSB’s Grievance Procedure provides guidance on how RSB – as well as certification bodies, participating operators and accreditation bodies – should properly manage grievances made with some aspect of the RSB system and general functioning of the RSB governance or multi-stakeholder dialogue.
