You may be right in describing the RO scheme as 'unique' , but it ain't no quality assurance scheme and is certainly no 'kite mark', whatever the marketing/propaganda claims.
Its the irony I enjoy most ....a quality assurance scheme to promote standards, which itself does not remotely adhere to the standards governing such quality assurance schemes (ie. ISO 9000 family of standards). No doubt those enrolled in the scheme follow the Institute's example and apply a similar commitment to the standards governing the RO scheme. Let be honest nobody could tell one way or the other. Just publish a glowing annual report congratulating the company on another year of quality improvements, ready evidence for the next compliance visit in 18 months.....job done!
