Improvementsidentified
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the world's largest developer
of standards. ISO standards contribute to making the development, manufacturing and
supply of products and services more efficient, safer and cleaner. When the large
majority of products or services in a particular business or industry sector conform to
International Standards, a state of industry-wide standardization can be said to exist.
This is achieved through consensus agreements between national delegations
representing all the economic stakeholders concerned - suppliers, users, government
regulators and other interest groups, such as consumers. They agree on specifications and criteria to be applied
consistently in the classification of materials, in the manufacture and supply of products, in testing and analysis
and in the provision of services. In this way, International Standards provide a reference framework, or a common
technological language, between suppliers and their customers - which facilitates trade and the transfer of
technology.
The Stage 1 Audit, on site, provides a focus for planning the Stage 2 Audit. The auditor reviews
documentationspecifictoyourbusinessandworkswith yourstafftoquickly resolveany problems.
STAGE 1 AUDIT
The Stage 2 Audit measures the effectiveness of the Management System in managing the activities,
products, processes and services to meet the requirements as stated by the standards and your
commitment. The audit is carried out alongside your own people, with results and findings openly
discussed and reviewed. At the end of the audit a report is prepared for acknowledgment and
acceptance by your company representative. Any corrective actions arising from the audit are discussed
andany forwardplanofworkincludingafollow-upvisit,ifneeded,isagreedupon.
STAGE 2 AUDIT
Every 3 years your management system needs to be re-assessed. After satisfactory reassessment, your
certificateisreissuedforfurther three years.
When your Management System complies with the standard, a certificate of approval is issued, which is
valid for three years, subject to satisfactory on-going maintenance of your management system.
Verification is through an audit surveillance program that is carried out through surveillance visits
organizedtofit in with yourbusinessrequirements.
