Rules and Regulations of the Fair Music Agency according to ISO/IEC Guide 65

The ISO 65 standard is designed for organizations that operate independent product certification systems, and specifies this with various criteria. This will primarily ensure that the certification organizations operate as so-called "third-parties", which are independent of the main organization and can avoid intra-organizational certification. By these standards, a high degree of objectivity and transparency in the certification process can be achieved.
