Why Online Certification? - the Practical Solution
Although it’s accepted that on-site audits and certifications are the recognised benchmark for International business standards, impracticalities, whether through location or cost, can make visited audits an expensive dream.
To overcome this we can now carry out remote compliance audits using a combination of skill, technology, and an element of plain old common sense!
One thing is for sure, if travel and time spent getting to a location and back is taken into consideration, there could be big cost saving and environmental implications with this option.
Feedback from clients shows a high approval rating using this solution. Typical reasons being cost savings, convenience, environmental factors and, especially important at the present time, coronavirus avoidance.
How Certification Online Works
We will ask you to fill out a questionnaire to provide all the details about your company, and its current operations, that we will need to prepare your documentation.
This will also enable us to identify any issues that you will need to address, with our help where required, to bring your company into compliance.
In all probability, you will have to introduce some simple systems to comply with the requirements of your Standard.
Once you have confirmed that these are in place, we will send you an audit questionnaire for you to complete to confirm compliance; you may be required to send, by scanner/email, samples of critical documents to our specialist auditors to verify some operational elements of your system.
The auditor, once satisfied that your system meets the requirements of your nominated Standard, will confirm this to you and authorise the preparation and emailing of your certificate/logos for you to display on any media that represents your company as you see fit.
The auditor will notify you should any corrective action be required although depending on the issue, this will not necessarily prevent certification.
During the period of certification you can e-mail us regarding any questions or concerns regarding your ISO standard at no cost, up to 10 times, after which a nominal fee will be made for each e-mail response up to the next audit date.
You will receive an e-mail from us about one month before the annual surveillance audit requirement with the next audit questionnaire for certification renewal.
