Certification & Registration Marks/Logos
NQA registered clients are authorized to use both the NQA Certification and Registration marks. There are regulations governing the use of both marks, however, because some of the NQA registration marks incorporate either the ANAB or the UKAS logo, the regulations on where it may be used are more prescriptive.
The logos and instructions for their use, briefly outlined below, are available in the NQA Logo Library on the NQA, Ltd. website

Reproduction of the NQA Certification Marks must accurately reflect the original artwork provided, in particular, the proportions of the different elements must be maintained.
NQA registered clients are provided with an NQA Certificate of Registration, stating which standard(s) the company is registered against.
