Company Number: 17110748
Registered in England and Wales
Registered Office:
124–128 City Road

ICSC Ltd is a UK-registered organisation that issues certifications under its own assessment framework across four areas: ISO-aligned standards, Continuing Professional Development (CPD), competence levels, and company standards. ICSC is not itself accredited by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) or by any national accreditation body. References to "ISO-aligned" throughout our website and materials indicate that our certification frameworks have been developed with reference to internationally recognised ISO standards and principles, not that our certificates constitute ISO accreditation.
2. Use of Our Website
You agree to use our website only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of others. You must not:
- Interfere with or disrupt our website or systems
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of our services
- Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information
- Use our website in any way that violates applicable law or regulation
3. Certificate Verification
Our online verification system allows users to confirm the status of certificates issued by ICSC. The system reflects information held in our records at the time of enquiry. You agree not to:
- Misuse or misrepresent verification results
- Falsify, alter, or reproduce ICSC certificates
- Impersonate a certificate holder
- Use verification data for unlawful purposes
ICSC does not guarantee the continuous availability of the verification system and accepts no liability for service interruptions beyond our reasonable control.
4. Nature of ICSC Certifications
Certifications issued by ICSC are awarded under ICSC's own assessment framework following evaluation of submitted evidence against defined criteria. ICSC certifications are not ISO accreditations, nor are they issued by or on behalf of any government body, regulatory authority, or national standards institution. Recipients and third parties relying on an ICSC certificate should satisfy themselves that the certification meets their specific requirements.
