That&#8217;s because they make some pretty incredible marketing claims, and appear to be able to afford the highest priced attorneys to prosecute defamation claims when someone reveals their fakery.<\/p>\n<p>But the truth is these guys are broke! Might be hard to imagine, but they actually spent all their money on logo design for those certificates they <del>print<\/del> issue, and there&#8217;s not much left to pay for getting internationally accredited and joining the world as a legitimate conformity assessment body.<\/p>\n<p>ISO just snatched that excuse away.
