Audit Process

Recertification Process

The ISO certificate is valid for three years from initial issue date. Recertification requires you to undergo an audit similar to the initial auditing process without the need for a Stage1 audit.
This audit explores the same areas as surveillance audits, only looking more deeply into the holistic and global implications of your implementation strategy. It reviews the whole of your processes and systems from beginning to end along side investigating your continued commitment to continual improvement.
Evaluate the understanding of the requirements of the standard, in particular with respect to the identification of key performance or significant aspects or high-risk operations, processes, objectives, and operation of the management system.
Your performance targets will come under the microscope and your company’s objectives will be the main criteria for assessment. This review includes looking at patterns of non-performance and customer satisfaction, documentation, and management reviews.
In short, the auditor will perform a thorough examination of every aspect of implementation before issuing certification with a strategic assessment plan that underlines the next certification cycle.
