quality policy
From introduction to a quality statement issued by a “benannte Stelle für Druckgeräte” which is part of a German technical inspection agency.
The above is a para following immediately on from a para stating that: all employees of the notified body must carry out their duties independently, objectively and impartially and are obliged to confidentiality, customer-specific information coming into their possession in the course of their work must not be disclosed to third parties, even after they have left the employment of the notified body, remuneration is not based on the number of inspections carried out or their results.
I think this relates to the notified body rather than the employees. Is this something on the lines of no financial or commercial interests declared?

There are no external economical or financial authorities/impact/influence
Literally. I believe that the crux of the matter hangs on the word "Einflüsse", which determines who is being spoken to.

With the added information, the translation of "Einflüsse" would then be "interests", ergo
There are no external economic or financial interests.

: '...with no external commercial or financial interests': It would be a good idea to continue the line of thought from the preceding sentence, instead of translating this as a separate sentence, as in the source text.

: This is a literal translation, but I don't understand what it means. Also, it's "economic", not "economical" (which means inexpensive).

Hi Phil, yes, I wwas awivering over economical - knew there was something wrong. It means that the employees and/or adminstration are to remain independent, objective and non-affiliated. My understanding!

There is no external economic or financial influence.
da wir nicht wissen, wer hier Einfluss ausübt, lasse ich es unbestimmt.
