Oxebridge has escalated its complaint against BSI to the United Kingdom Accreditation Service, or UKAS. The move comes after receipt of a one-page, unsigned denial from BSI which failed to address specific allegations made by Oxebridge. The Oxebridge complaint specifically alleges that BSI has breached ISO 17021 prohibitions against consulting by marketing and selling its Entropy software, and then providing accredited certification of the resulting quality management systems.
