Who it is for

Manufacturers, service providers, contractors, food businesses and public bodies of any size — whether you are seeking certification for the first time, moving to a new edition of a standard, or recovering from a difficult audit.

Our methodology

  1. Gap analysis — we compare your current practice with the standard and agree priorities.
  2. Project plan and team training — a realistic timeline, clear owners and awareness training.
  3. System design and documentation — policy, objectives, processes and records built around how you work.
  4. Implementation support — on-site and remote coaching while your team puts the system into practice.
  5. Internal audit — a full audit by an experienced auditor to test readiness.
  6. Management review — we help leadership review performance and decide actions.
  7. Certification audit support — preparation for the certification body’s audit and closure of any findings.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a project take?

It depends on the size of your organisation, the number of sites and the controls already in place. We give you a timeline after the gap analysis.

Do you issue the certificate?

No. Certificates are issued by an independent, accredited certification body. We prepare you and support you through the audit.

Can several standards be combined?

Yes. We can build one integrated management system covering, for example, quality, environment and occupational health and safety.
