Use of logos, marks or names of other facilities on the same document shall not be used in combination with the ACCB accreditation symbol or in any other way which might imply that ACCB has accredited these facilities.

An accredited CAB shall, upon suspension and withdrawn of ACCB accreditation, immediately cease to issue certificates and any other materials displaying the ACCB accreditation symbol or containing references to ACCB accreditation.
