How can I implement ISO 9001? – Five steps to certification project lifecycle
Pre-assessment Audit:
We can provide an optional independent audit of your management system before the commencement of the Stage 1 audit.
Stage 1 Audit
First, we gain an understanding of your business to assess whether your document policy, objectives, continual improvement plans and procedures meet the requirements of the management system standard. The readiness of your implementation programme is also assessed for the Stage 2.
Stage 2 Audit
We will then audit your management system (MS) in action, to check that your declared policy, objectives and targets have been effectively communicated and implemented, and that your continual improvement plans and procedures are working in practice. Certification is then awarded after successful closures of any outstanding issues.
Surveillance Audit
After you have achieved certification, we undertake regular ongoing audits of your MS to ensure that it is being maintained and that it continues to meet the objectives of your organisation and the expectation of your customers.
Re-certification Audit
The certificate is valid for 3 years. A full recertification audit is conducted on the full MS before the expiry of the certificate.
