How the assessment works
Application
We review activities, locations, personnel, requested scope and applicable requirements.
Planning
The responsible body, assessment method, timing and commercial conditions are documented.
Evaluation
Qualified personnel evaluate implementation using interviews, records, observation and sampling.
Independent review
Findings and corrective actions are reviewed before the applicable decision or statement is issued.
Preparing your organization
Define the intended scope, identify applicable legal and customer requirements, assign process ownership, maintain documented information and complete an internal review before the formal assessment. The duration depends on organization size, complexity, locations, shifts, risk and readiness.
