Certificates & website badges
A printable certificate and a linked website badge make an IEMOC decision visible. Both refer to the same recognised party, defined scope and public record.
A completed certificate is intended to be supplied as a printable PDF. It records the recognised party, award type, framework, exact scope, reference and validity period.
It can be used in organisational records or displayed in an appropriate setting. Its QR code or record link directs readers to the current public status.
See the certificate designsAn event organiser, venue or service provider can display its authorised badge on its website. The badge should link to that recipient’s own public recognition record.
The website badge is an image, such as a transparent PNG. It is a concise signpost to the full scope and current status, not a replacement for the certificate or record.

The printable format
The portrait A4 designs have space for the recipient, framework and version, scope, event or location when relevant, record ID, dates and a verification reference. The sample fields below are not real issued records.

These web images explain the design. They are not certificate downloads or proof of recognition. A completed printable PDF will be available only through the authorised issuance process.
The website format
There are six full circular designs: Approved and Verified for event organisers, venues and service providers. The role identifies the recipient’s activity; the linked record defines exactly what was reviewed.
Display and verification
A visitor should be able to find the recognised party, the reviewed scope and the current status from the badge itself.
Use the correct role and award type within the scope and active validity period granted to the recipient.
The badge and certificate reference should lead to the recipient’s own IEMOC record, not just the IEMOC homepage.
A downloaded image or printed certificate does not automatically reflect later expiry, suspension or withdrawal.
No. They are two display formats for the same scoped recognition. Approved and Verified are the decision types.
The designs shown here explain the future formats. This introductory website does not issue recognition or permission to use a mark for an organisation.
No. A downloaded PNG remains the same image. Its linked public record is the place to check current status; mark use must stop when the recognition is not active.
No. Recognition applies only to the recorded scope. It does not automatically transfer to another event edition, venue, project or service.
No. The certificate images are labelled design previews. Their demonstration reference is not an issued recognition record.
Contact IEMOC to discuss the meaning of a recognition claim or the proposed display formats.
