Application and Estimated Cost:

Following your inquiries and completion of our application and questionnaire, we review the information and provide you with a free estimate until you receive the estimate and return a signed contract that includes requirements for certification.

We contact you to begin the certification process and agree on dates for the Phase-1 and Phase-2 Audits, assigning the auditor who contacted you to complete the following arrangements;

Stage-1 Audit:

Phase 1 Audit (the part that is typically onsite), provides focus for planning a Phase 2 Audit, reviewing documentation specific to your business and working with your staff to ensure readiness for a Phase 2 Audit.

Phase-2 Audit Visit:

Stage-2 Audits measure the effectiveness of your Quality Management System in managing your quality requirements, products, processes and services.

Audits are conducted with your own people, with results and findings discussed and reviewed publicly.

At the end of the audit, a report is prepared to be acknowledged and accepted by your company representative.

Any corrective actions arising from the audit are discussed and future work plans agreed upon, including follow-up visits where necessary.

Surveillance Audit:

Verification is through a surveillance audit program conducted through annual audit/monitoring visits organized to suit your business needs.

Recertification Audit:

Every 3 years your quality management system needs to be reassessed.
