How do we become certified and what is the process?

The certification process consists of a number of steps:

– Stage One Assessment – A top-level desktop review which evaluates your management system documentation.

– Stage Two Assessment – A deeper insight into how your system documentation is implemented across the business with support records of evidence.

– Certification – a ‘Statement of Certification’ is issued, confirming compliance with the standard and a specific report against the requested standard. Certification then lasts in a 3-year cycle.

How long does the certification process take?

This can vary depending on preparedness, experience, and the size of the organisation.

Smaller organisations will generally move through faster than a larger scale organisation.

How long is certification valid for?

Certification is valid for a 3-year period from the date of issue, subject to regular surveillance assessments.
