Your path to certification with us
01. Application
Call or email us to discuss you requirements with one of our Client Coordinators who will be happy to talk you through how we work. Applications are completed and a quote provided on the same day or within 24 hours. Audit expenses are also confirmed in advance. So you get full transparency and no surprises.
02. Audit Planning
When you accept our quote, our Planning Team will contact you to arrange your audit. We’ll allocate an auditor close to you, who also has the knowledge and experience of your product or service category. We usually plan audits 6 months in advance, but if an audit is needed at short notice let us know.
03. Your Audit
We have a stable team of experienced auditors with long-term experience of the standard. This improves the quality of your audit and makes standardisation and calibration far better. This means that you get a much more accurate, fair and unbiased audit.
04. Certification
After your audit and you’ve submitted any corrective actions, we will issue the report and certificate within 30 days. This best in-class turnaround time is 10 days faster than the scheme average. This means you can display it in pride-of-place in your business and start using it without delay.
05. After the Audit
Your Client Coordinator will be proactive to ensure you have your next audit planned and booked in good time. They will also coordinate time with our office-based Operations and Technical team, to deal promptly with any queries regarding the scheme and your ongoing certification.
