Guidance

Validation/verification is not a legal compliance audit. The validation/verification body will check if there is no evidence of noncompliance with relevant legal requirements, and that no issues of non-compliance are raised by regulatory authorities or other interested parties. The main legislation relevant to Skógarkolefni is found on the Alþingi website althingi.is.
