Stage 1 assessment - identifying gaps

 

There’s no pressure for the first assessment; many are surprised by what they already have in place. The report issued will highlight the steps you need to take to achieve your certification.

Stage 2 assessment - in-depth review

 

When you’re ready, our Auditor will complete a full assessment to establish if your management systems and processes meet the requirements of the standard. A critical part of your stage 2 assessment will be reviewing real examples of the delivery of your products and services. You'll be advised of the Auditor's recommendations on the day, which will be ratified by our Compliance department, and your certification will be issued following the decision (subject to compliance with the standard).
