This is how our audit process works
Transparent, independent, and explained step by step.
Explained simply and transparently
A certification audit is an independent review that confirms whether a company meets the requirements of a certification standard (CONFICERT Brand). The process is clear, organized, and follows rules defined from the beginning.
1. Certification Request and Quote
The process begins with an application
The company (operator) applies for certification to the Certification Body (CB) and provides basic information: who they are, where they operate, what product or service they offer, which Certificaction Brands they want to certify, etc. With this, the CB evaluates whether it is possible to start the certification process.
2. Preparation
Everything is planned before the audit
Once the process is approved:
3. Audit
A structured and professional review
4. Corrective Actions (if needed)
Resolving any issues found
If non-conformities (NCs) are identified:
5. Independent Review
A second check for fairness
A technical reviewer analyzes the entire certification process and verifies that the audit was conducted correctly and impartially.
6. Final Decision and Certificate Issuance (if applicable)
Clear decision and certification
The decision-maker (a second CB auditor, different from the one who conducted the audit) reviews the complete file and decides:
To maintain certification, the operator must request renewal before the current certificate expires.
