How certification works
The Certification Process
A structured, evidence-based path from application to certificate issue and ongoing surveillance.
Application
Submit your application form with scope, sites, and organisational details. We review and confirm audit duration and pricing.
Stage 1 Audit
A documentation review and readiness assessment identifies any gaps before the full assessment, conducted on-site or remotely.
Stage 2 Audit
A full evidence-based audit against the standard's requirements, including interviews, record checks and site observation.
Certification Decision
An independent technical review of the audit findings determines certification, ensuring impartiality from the audit team.
Certificate Issue
Your certificate is issued with a unique certificate number, verifiable via our online Certificate Verification service.
Surveillance & Recertification
Annual surveillance audits maintain your certification, with full recertification every three years.
