PRACTICE 02
ISO & Quality Management Systems
Certification is won or lost long before the auditor arrives. We build the management system, put the records in place and rehearse the audit, so that the external assessment simply confirms what is already true.
Readiness by Clause AreaIllustrative. Your actual readiness is established during the gap analysis.
Context & Leadership
Planning & Risk
Operation & Control
Performance Evaluation
Our role is preparation: we review and improve your SOPs and quality system, build the documentation and records the standard requires, train your internal auditors and rehearse the audit — then hand you to an accredited certification body of your choosing for the assessment itself.
The Route to a Certification Audit.
Six stages. We run stages one to five; your chosen certification body conducts stage six.
Stage 1Gap AnalysisAssessment against every clause of the standard, closing with a written baseline.
Stage 2System DesignScope, policy, quality objectives, risk register and process ownership.
Stage 3DocumentationProcedures, forms and records built on your real workflow, not a template.
Stage 4Training & RolloutAwareness sessions, internal auditor training, system in live operation.
Stage 5Internal & Mock AuditFull internal audit, management review and corrective action closure.
Stage 6Certification AuditConducted by the accredited certification body you appoint.
Standards We Prepare For
ISO 9001Quality Management
ISO 14001Environmental Management
ISO 45001Occupational Health & Safety
Other standards on request. Where a standard sits outside our experience we will say so, rather than learn it at your expense.
Already Certified?
Maintaining a system is where most companies quietly slip. Documentation drifts away from practice, internal audits are skipped, and the surveillance visit becomes a scramble.
Surveillance and recertification preparation
Outsourced internal audit programme
Closure of non-conformities raised at your last audit
Documentation simplification — fewer, better procedures
