QCast Appeals & Complaints
Complaint & Appeal Handling
For appeals or complaints related to the QCast Certification Program Management, the QCast Staff investigates the appeal or complaint and proposes a resolution. The complainant or appellant will be provided a formal notice by QCast Staff with the complaint and/or appeal final resolution.
For appeals and complaints submitted by a participating plant as part of the QCast Certification audit, the participating plant shall submit a written appeal within 20 working days of receiving the audit report in question. QCast Staff will re-evaluate the audit findings and send the results of the audit findings within 15 working days of the complaint or appeal receipt. If the complainant or appellant is not satisfied with the resolution, a re-appeal shall be submitted within 5 days of resolution receipt referred to the Plant Certification Adjudication Task Group. The Plant Certification Adjudication Task Group will evaluate the appeal for a final resolution. A formal notice will be sent to the complainant or appellant.
