Our Services
The certifications process is extremely straightforward and can be broken down into six steps, as below:
Pre-assessment form:
After we log you in as a client we send you a pre-assessment form that you must complete and send back to us. This form gives us more information about your organisation, i.e. when you expect to be ready for your stage 1 audit. The Audit Team will be nominated and the client will be contacted to arrange a Stage 1 audit.
Stage 1 Assessment:
We conduct a stage 1 assessment where we review your management system documentation to ensure it is in full compliance with the chosen standard(s). We also do a review to ensure that you are fully prepared for the full stage 2 certification assessment. A full report will be prepared and forwarded to you after the assessment.
Stage 2 certification assessment:
Once we are satisfied that your documentation meets the necessary requirements, we conduct a full on-site audit of your management system. In very basic terms – “we check to see that you do in practice what you say you in your system documentation”. If no major non-conformances are identified during the audit, the information is processed and the organisation becomes certified to the chosen standard. Once the organisation is certified we then conduct surveillance audits every six or twelve months.
