Qualicoat UK & Ireland has added a QR code to its member certificates.
The organisation said the aim of this initiative is to transform a static certificate into a live verification tool. By scanning the code, stakeholders can verify member credentials for complete traceability and assurance.
Chris Mansfield, chair of Qualicoat UK & Ireland, said: “As a quality label organisation, we value trust and transparency. Possession of a printed or digital certificate alone does not necessarily mean that a company or system currently holds a valid Qualicoat licence, so, we have taken positive action to address this by adding a QR code to each Qualicoat certificate which links to the member’s profile.
“This addition aligns our certification with modern demands. The construction industry is under pressure to demonstrate compliance and competency, and decision makers need evidence not just claims. Our QR code provides practical support for those responsible for due diligence and compliance. Better still, verification can now be completed in seconds, saving time across specification, procurement and audit processes.”
