ExVeritas ApS operates internationally and provides certification of products. ExVeritas ApS is accredited for this activity by the Danish Accreditation Service (DANAK) and is appointed as a ‘notified body’ by the Danish Government under European Directives.
The policy of ExVeritas ApS is to provide, in the most cost-effective manner, independent and impartial certification and inspection services, which combine technical competence with objectivity and integrity. The Service is non-discriminatory in operation, with no undue financial or other conditions, and is available to all. It is the policy of the Service to achieve and maintain recognized accreditation for its activities in order to demonstrate its commitment to providing an efficient, commercially aware, competent service.
A description of our audit and certification process for granting, maintaining, extending, renewing, reducing, or withdrawing certification is provided on request in the procedure QP-CB-DK-004 – IECEx and ATEX Certification Conditions and supplementary regulations.
Activities carried out for clients shall be treated as confidential to that client unless otherwise agreed.
Information supplied by clients, the results and documents generated by the certification service and its subcontractors, the contract records that are retained, and the existence of the contract itself (other than any certificates issued) are all treated as “commercial in confidence” and will not be communicated to any third party without written agreement, unless the information is already in the public domain.
Where the law requires information to be disclosed to a third party, the client will be informed of the information disclosed.
ExVeritas ApS has appointed independent impartiality committees whose primary role is to safeguard impartiality of the certification activities of ExVeritas ApS.
The members of the Impartiality Committees are drawn from external organizations having a bona fide and continuing interest in the scope of the certification services provided by ExVeritas ApS, on the basis of maintaining a balanced representation of interests in which no single interest predominates.
ExVeritas ApS makes publicly accessible information about the certification status of each of its clients through the Certificate Database which is available on request. This shows whether a certificate is current, suspended or has been withdrawn.
Full or partial, temporary suspension or permanent withdrawal of certificates is undertaken in exceptional circumstances and on a case by case basis.
Failure to resolve issues that have resulted in the suspension in a time established by ExVeritas ApS may result in withdrawal or reduction in the scope of certification.
ExVeritas ApS has a procedure for the considering appeals against its decisions relative to certification.
A customer wishing to appeal should submit the substance of their appeal in writing to the Managing Director who will ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to resolve the issue and will ensure that there are no relationships that may compromise the impartiality of the appeal. If, after implementation of what is considered to be all reasonable steps, the problem is not resolved, the Managing Director will forward the documentation to the Chairman of the Impartiality Committee for independent adjudication.
ExVeritas ApS takes complaints against itself and its clients seriously.
Complaints about ExVeritas ApS are normally submitted in writing. All complaints will be logged and given a unique reference number. The complainant shall always receive a written reply to any written complaint.
Complaints about a registered client should also be submitted in writing. For this reason, shown below, these complaints may take longer to fully resolve. We will have to confirmed that the client is registered by ExVeritas ApS, and ensure that they are taking appropriate action, and if required confirm compliance during a subsequent audit of the client.
3.1 When ExVeritas provides a quotation or estimate or accepts an order for work leading to the issue of a Certificate (or similar document), this should not be taken to imply that we will issue such a certificate. A certificate (or similar document) can only be issued once the appropriate evidence has been assembled and, in some cases, once the appropriate arrangements have been made to cover the production phase.
3.2 Unless subsequently clarified, work will be carried out in accordance with the standards specified at the time of application, quotation or order.
3.3 The Client is responsible for making all necessary arrangements for the conduct of the evaluation, including provision for examining documentation and access to all areas, records (including internal audit reports) and personnel for the purposes of evaluation (e.g. testing, inspection, assessment, surveillance, reassessment) and resolution of complaints.
3.4 Compliance Certificates are issued in the name of the “Certificate Holder”. This will normally be the manufacturer and in any event will be the body responsible for controlling the design. Where the manufacturer does not control the design and does not have the certificate issued in their name, special provisions will apply. The relationship between designer and manufacturer must be made clear.
3.5 A Certificate Holder may apply to have documentation issued in the name of a Trade Agent only if approved and registered with ExVeritas.
3.6 Copies of certificates and their schedules shall be made available by the manufacturer on request, to all purchasers of certified equipment.
3.7 Where certification documents contain “Special Conditions for Safe Use”, normally identified by a suffix “X” to the certificate number, all such specific information must be made available to purchasers of the equipment.
3.8 Clients must not make claims regarding certification except within the scope for which the certification has been granted.
3.9 Clients must not use their product certification in such a way as to bring ExVeritas into disrepute and must not make any statement regarding its product certification which ExVeritas may consider misleading or unauthorized.
3.11 ExVeritas may withdraw a certificate if the manufacturer fails to abide by these terms and conditions.
3.12 ExVeritas may withdraw a certificate if the certificate includes provision for the use of a production mark and the conditions applicable to the use of the production mark are no longer being met.
3.13 On suspension or withdrawal of a certificate, the client must discontinue use of advertising material that contains reference to the certification and return any certification documents as required by ExVeritas. The client must also ensure that no misleading statements are made regarding the status of the certification.
3.15 In making reference to its product certification, in communication media such as documents, brochures or advertising, suppliers must comply with these conditions and the ExVeritas Standard Terms and Conditions.
3.16 The Client must notify ExVeritas of any proposed changes to the product, or to aspects of its production, test, inspection, quality system or other factors that are regulated by the QMS Certification to provide control of production.
3.17 The Client must retain the certificate and associated documents for future reference and, where relevant, for inspection by ExVeritas or any other body responsible for supervision of production. The ATEX Directive places a legal requirement on the manufacturer to retain these documents for a stated period of ten years after the last production.
3.18 ExVeritas will retain copies of the documents as a “Technical File” for a defined period in accordance with our service for retention and storage of technical files.
3.19 ExVeritas Certificates bearing the DANAK logo indicates that the certification has been done in accordance with the accreditation of ExVeritas by DANAK. It should not be construed that the product, system or device to which that certificate relates has been approved by DANAK.
3.20 ExVeritas’s acceptance of a drawing showing marking detail which includes the European Community CE Marking should not be construed as confirmation that ExVeritas has given permission for the CE Marking to be applied to any particular item of equipment. Applying the CE Marking remains the responsibility of the manufacturer in accordance with the appropriate EU legislation.
3.21 ExVeritas accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of provisional information relating to the proposed content of certificates, which may be exchanged between ExVeritas and the client prior to the formal issue of a certificate.
3.22 Complaints and Appeals can be made to Exveritas by following this process or directly to the relevant scheme/body i.e. DANAK.
3.23 Certificate number/s and coding provided for the generation of marking drawings during the course of a project are subject to change. The release of this information does not indicate that the equipment has achieved Certification. ExVeritas accepts no responsibility for any costs incurred due to changes made prior to issue of the final hard copy certificate.
Updated section 2.4 to include ExVeritas ApS explanation of meeting applicable requirements of ISO/IEC 17065 clause 4.1.2.2.
Revised to avoid wrong references. Repeated sections removed.
ExVeritas obligations removed from 2.4 Clients responsibilities.

complaints about exveritas aps are normally submitted in writing. all complaints will be logged and given a unique reference number. the complainant shall always receive a written reply to any written complaint.
complaints about a registered client should also be submitted in writing. for this reason, shown below, these complaints may take longer to fully resolve. we will have to confirmed that the client is registered by exveritas aps, and ensure that they are taking appropriate action, and if required confirm compliance during a subsequent audit of the client.
3.1 when exveritas provides a quotation or estimate or accepts an order for work leading to the issue of a certificate (or similar document), this should not be taken to imply that we will issue such a certificate. a certificate (or similar document) can only be issued once the appropriate evidence has been assembled and, in some cases, once the appropriate arrangements have been made to cover the production phase.
3.2 unless subsequently clarified, work will be carried out in accordance with the standards specified at the time of application, quotation or order.

3.8 clients must not make claims regarding certification except within the scope for which the certification has been granted.

3.11 exveritas may withdraw a certificate if the manufacturer fails to abide by these terms and conditions.
3.12 exveritas may withdraw a certificate if the certificate includes provision for the use of a production mark and the conditions applicable to the use of the production mark are no longer being met.
3.13 on suspension or withdrawal of a certificate, the client must discontinue use of advertising material that contains reference to the certification and return any certification documents as required by exveritas. the client must also ensure that no misleading statements are made regarding the status of the certification.

3.23 certificate number/s and coding provided for the generation of marking drawings during the course of a project are subject to change. the release of this information does not indicate that the equipment has achieved certification. exveritas accepts no responsibility for any costs incurred due to changes made prior to issue of the final hard copy certificate.

Foxglove blooms best in cool weather.
Foxgloves (Digitalis purpurea) add a splash of color to shady woodland gardens within U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 to 9 with their speckled, bell-shaped flowers. Their widespread presence in gardens lends them a harmless reputation, although foxgloves are actually highly toxic to humans and animals alike. Cats that ingest foxgloves can easily be killed if not promptly treated by a veterinarian, so it is best to limit contact between the plants and any curious four-legged foragers.
Foxgloves have a distinctive appearance that makes them easily distinguishable from harmless annuals. They stand between 2 and 5 feet in height with a central flower stalk and a rosette of fuzzy, 5- to 10-inch-long leaves at the base. The tubular, bell-shaped flowers emerge from late spring into early summer and have a pendulous or nodding appearance. They are roughly 2 inches in length and come in shades ranging from cream to yellow to pale lavender, each with dark purple or white markings inside. All parts of foxglove are poisonous, although the seeds contain a much higher concentration of toxic elements than the leaves and flowers.
Cardiac glycosides are responsible for the extreme toxicity of foxgloves, but there are also several steroidal saponins within the plant that also cause damage after consumption. The cardiac glycosides effect actions within the heart, which causes the most severe and dangerous symptoms in foxglove poisoning. Due to their low body mass, cats need only consume a small amount of the plant to experience serious, potentially deadly symptoms. Cardiac glycosides cause rapid symptom progression, so recognizing the early signs is vital to ensuring the poisoned animal receives timely emergency care.
Cats may accidentally poison themselves by chewing or eating any part of a foxglove plant, or by drinking water from a vase used to hold cut foxglove flowers indoors. The visible symptoms of foxglove poisoning in cats mimic those of poisoning from other sources, although internal symptoms are much more severe. Vomiting, diarrhea and muscle weakness are prominent and noticeable, while cardiac arrhythmia and heart failure occur virtually unseen. Seek immediate medical attention if a cat displays worrying symptoms after interacting with or having access to a foxglove plant because coma and death may occur rapidly and without warning.
Foxgloves will always pose a threat to pets and people, but it is possible to lower the risk of accidental poisoning with careful planning and maintenance. Plant foxgloves in a visible location to monitor interactions between them and pets, and install a barrier around the bed to discourage close contact. Rake up and discard any fallen leaves to keep them from blowing or getting dragged into areas where cats feed and play, and pour out irrigation water from potted foxgloves so that cats don't drink the water. When using foxgloves as a cut flower, place the vase on a high shelf where cats can't reach it or cover the top with aluminum foil to prevent the cat from drinking the water inside.

Minimum wage varies by state and in New York it ranges from $11.10 to $15.00 per hour depending on size of employer and location. In New York, restaurants are allowed to use a “tip credit”, which ranges from $3.60 to $5.00 per hour, to count towards the minimum wage that they must pay their tipped employees. In other words, they can pay their waitstaff less than minimum wage on the condition that the employees will make at least minimum wage per hour after receiving their tips from customers. In these cases, (1) the employees must be informed by the restaurant of the tip credit law (i.e. Section 3(m) of the Fair Labor Standards Act), and (2) all tips received by such employees must be retained by the employees (unless there is a valid tip pooling arrangement).
The minimum wage rate for fast food employees is $15.00 per hour in New York City and $12.75 per hour in the rest of New York State.
The minimum direct wage for a tipped restaurant employee in New York ranges from $7.50 to $10.00 per hour, depending on where the restaurant is located provided the employee is allowed to keep the tips received, and the sum of the direct wage and the tips must be equal to or greater than the applicable minimum wage rate. If an employee’s tips combined with the employer’s direct wages do not equal the federal minimum hourly wage of $7.25 per hour, or the applicable New York minimum wage rate, the restaurant must make up the difference.

We would like to introduce you to Professor Johanna Schleutker, from the University of Turku in Finland, who has just been awarded £184,554 for a 3 year grant.
The cause of prostate cancer at the genetic level has so far been difficult to determine. Only a few ‘high risk’ genes and more common genetic mutations have been identified and they account for only a small number of cases. Professor Johanna Schleutker hopes to identify and characterise more genes involved in prostate cancer with her Worldwide Cancer Research grant. In particular, she hopes to find genes which predispose men to prostate cancer (meaning they have a higher chance of developing it than other people). She also hopes to find genes involved in the more aggressive type of the disease, which tends to affect younger men, as well as find genes that may influence how a man responds to prostate cancer treatments. In order to find these genes she will be using a combination of powerful new techniques, which can analyse vast amounts of data. Any genes discovered could be used to better diagnose prostate cancer, this is especially important for those men who have the more aggressive form of the disease and for whom early treatment is more urgent.
