The Institute, in the field of certification activities, conformity assessment and testing of products under the approval procedure, does not benefit from public aid or any other funds.


Fees related to certification paid by clients are determined, among other things, taking into account the principles set forth in the Regulation of the Minister of Development of August 22, 2016 on the manner of determining fees for activities related to mandatory conformity assessment of products (Journal of Laws 2016, item 1373).

The impartiality and independence, of the Institute's certification and conformity assessment body is supervised by the Governing Board, which, in accordance with the regulations, annually evaluates the principles of the financial policy of the body in terms of its impartiality and the potential impact of commercial factors on the objective conduct of certification activities.

Impartiality

ITG KOMAG in the field of certification and conformity assessment, bearing in mind the public confidence in the conducted processes of certification of management systems, products, services, conformity assessment, makes every effort to maintain impartiality during them and to be perceived as an impartial entity, and thus contribute to confidence for the entire system of certification and conformity assessment.


Our goal is to make certification and conformity assessment decisions on the basis of objective evidence of conformity (or non-conformity) obtained and the absence of influence of any interest groups or other parties on these decisions.


To this end, an Impartiality Policy has been established and a Governing Board has been established to periodically assess the impartiality of the Certification Body's Attestation Department's certification and conformity assessment activities.

The Directive 2009/48/EC (Safety of Toys) is currently the most important legislation for all companies operating in the toy industry within the European Union.

In order for a manufacturer to label a toy with the CE mark, it must meet a number of requirements with regard to, among other things, strength, construction or materials. Such tests are carried out in the accredited testing laboratory of the KOMAG Institute (AB 910). The legal act adapting Polish law to the new directive is the Regulation of the Minister of Development and Finance of 20 October 2016 on requirements for toys Journal of Laws 2023 item 1260.

the Attestation Research Department Certification Unit carries out the conformity assessment of toys to the requirements of Directive 2009/48/EC (Safety of Toys), which allows the manufacturer to legally market the product giving a guarantee that the toy meets the essential requirements of the Directive and is therefore safe.
