Certificate
Agreement
It’s an incredibly formal way of saying we need a contract to be mutually-signed between our companies before starting any certification audit.
Stage 1
Certification Audit
First of two audit phases where a Lead Auditor will evaluate the organization’s implementation design for responding to the management system clauses.
Stage 2
Certification Audit
Second of two audit phases comprising initial certification with a specific focus on the effectiveness of the organization’s implementation of the management system.
Certificate Decision
& Issuance
The Lead Auditor will compile their findings and audit recommendation for the certification body. If there is agreement with the results, a decision committee will issue certification valid for 3 years.
First
Surveillance Audit
Monitoring audit within 12 months following initial certification to verify continued effectiveness of the management system. Certification body may begin to sample elements of the scope for deeper inspection.
Second
Surveillance Audit
Additional audit in the second calendar year after certification of the management system. The organization may opt to expand or reduce scope (sites, products, services) during these annual audits.
Recertification
Audit
Full system assessment once every 3 years following initial certification to be completed prior to the expiration of the current award issued for the management system. Completed as part of a single-stage audit only.
