Process

How certification happens

A transparent, phased journey from first call to a live certificate, and the surveillance that keeps it valid.

  1. 01

    Scoping call

    We confirm the standard, the scope of the system and where you are today.

  2. 02

    Gap analysis

    A structured assessment of your current processes against the standard's requirements.

  3. 03

    Implementation

    Documentation, process design and training, delivered at your pace.

  4. 04

    Internal audit

    Our audit team runs a full internal audit and you act on the findings.

  5. 05

    Certification audit

    Stage 1 and stage 2 audits with your chosen certification body, which we support you through.

  6. 06

    Surveillance

    Annual surveillance audits keep your certificate valid and your system current.
