Impartiality Policy

Introduction

The Omega Group (Operations) Limited understands and acknowledges the importance of impartiality and potential conflicts of interest that can arise when performing testing activities. Because new conflicts of interest can surface over time, Senior Management and Laboratory Personnel participate in an annual assessment to ensure ongoing impartiality and identify if any new potential conflicts of interest have arisen concerning the service provided by our company.

Threats

Senior Management and Laboratory Personnel shall identify and assess risks in all relationships that may result in a conflict of interest and pose a threat to impartiality. Threats to impartiality include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Subjectivity threats: threats that arise when personal bias overrules objective evidence
