agree  lone (X): as is
2 mins
  -> thanks Lone :) I think either version is ok and would be understood ...

neutral  writeaway: so much explanation for 000 context? /any question is valid for asker but without context it all loses momentum and significance
8 mins
  -> thanks for your comment writeaway but this one isn't really a headshrinker .. "as seen" or "as is" amounts to the same thing at the end of the day so ... any question is a good question and I'm giving my thoughts according to what I think is suitable ...

neutral  AllegroTrans: agree with Writeaway - depending on context, which Asker has not provided, there may be other much more appropriate terms here - your Googlehits prove nothing
2 hrs
  -> the context would seem to be "certificates" so on the little we have to go on I still think "as seen" or "as is" would be suitable ... thanks for your comment though :)
