Terms of Service

The terms for using this website — including what our educational content is, and what it is not.

Last updated: July 2026

1. About This Website

This website is operated by Melissa Brewer Consulting & Compliance ("MBC&C"). By using this site, you agree to these terms. The site provides general educational information about ISO 9001, ISO 45001, and Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU) compliance, and a means to request consulting services.

2. No Consulting Relationship Without Agreement

Submitting a consultation request, calling, or emailing MBC&C does not create a consulting engagement. Engagements are formed only through a mutually agreed scope of work.

3. Educational Content — Not Legal or Certification Advice

Content on this site is provided for general education. It does not constitute legal advice, and it does not replace the text of the standards themselves or the requirements of accreditation and regulatory bodies.

Interpretations of ISO standards and the PED vary by organization, product, and jurisdiction. Always confirm obligations against the current official standard or directive text and, where applicable, with your certification body or notified body.

4. No Guaranteed Outcomes

Certification decisions are made exclusively by independent, accredited certification bodies, and conformity assessments under the PED are performed by notified bodies where required. MBC&C provides consulting, training, and implementation support and does not warrant or guarantee any audit result, certificate issuance, or regulatory determination.

5. Intellectual Property

The content, branding, and materials on this site belong to MBC&C unless otherwise noted. You may read and share links freely; please do not reproduce content commercially without permission.

6. Limitation of Liability

MBC&C is not liable for decisions made based on the general educational content of this website. Liability related to consulting services is governed by the specific agreement for those services.
