Furthermore, we also reserve the right to conduct random checks on the quality of work performed by the individual verifiers.
Fee Structure and Application Procedure
In certain situations, ZDHC may request additional information and documentation or carry out specific evaluations, which may include derogations on certain requirements or acceptance of equivalent quality assurance criteria, to grant a fair, consistent, high-quality implementation of the Roadmap to Zero Programme on a global scale. If any extra fees are associated with this evaluation, the MRSL Certifier will receive advance notice.
