CERTIFICATION - TRUST ACCOUNTABILITY LIABILITY ...

This book offers an in-depth analysis of the function of certification in general and of
certification systems in a range of different sectors. The authors examine certification from
both a theoretical and a practical standpoint and from the perspectives of different
disciplines  including law  economics  management  and the social sciences. They also discuss
instruments that help ensure the quality of certification  which can range from public law
measures such as accreditation  to private law incentives  to deterrents  such as liability
towards victims. Further  they assess the role of competition between certification bodies.
Readers will learn the commonalities as well as the necessary distinctions between
certification bodies in various fields  which may stem from the different functions they serve.
These similarities and differences may also be the result of different types of damage that the
certified producer or service provider could potentially cause to individuals or to the public
at large. Often  companies use certification bodies as an argument to assure the general public
e.g. regarding the safety of medical products. Closer inspection reveals  however  that
sometimes certification bodies themselves lack credibility. The book offers essential
information on the benefits and pitfalls associated with certification.
