exida has discovered yet another forged functional safety certificate.  You can read about another occurrence in a previous blog entry.

The company name on the forged certificate is ISP SA DE CV, Cunduacan, Tab., Mex.  How could someone think this would not be checked?  exida maintains a list of valid certifications on the exida Safety Automation Element List.  This counterfeit certificate is not there.  While I suppose it is a compliment to see that the forgers want to use exida certificates as a base to start from, they should realize that exida’s accredited scheme has a means for anyone to quickly verify the validity of any certificate. 

We are in the safety business.  Safety is serious and forged documentation should be considered criminal in my view.
