<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><strong>RCPL is committed to upholding the integrity and transparency of ISO certification in accordance with international accreditation standards. As part of this commitment, we maintain and publish a list of clients whose ISO certifications have been officially withdrawn by an accredited certification body.</strong></span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><strong>A withdrawn status means that the organization&rsquo;s ISO certification is no longer valid, effective, or recognized and has been formally terminated.</strong></span></span></p>
