Getting your Management Systems ISO Certified the easy way

Having an ISO certification is almost always a prerequisite when tendering for government and private organisations contracts. It may well make the difference between winning and losing a tender - and in a tough and competitive market you cannot afford to lose.

The problem is that getting ISO certification is a costly and lengthy process, which can take months, even if you are a small business.

Developing your ISO management systems, then preparing for your certification and waiting until the certification body does its bit may take weeks or months

Contrary to this, if you have purchased Ensafe’ Management Systems, you are ready to show that you are working towards ISO certification. This can be achieved in a matter of days:

1st - place an application to get your Management systems ISO certified with an accredited certifier organisation.
2nd - obtain a letter from certifier stating that ISO certification is in process. This will ensure that ISO certification will not be the barrier stopping you from submitting the tender.
3rd – submit your tender attaching the letter from certifier and your documented management system

The Certification Process

Stage 2 Certification Audit	The certification audit determines the effectiveness of the system and seeks to confirm that the management system is implemented and operational. The certification audit take place at client’s premises and may include visit to various worksites to evidence the implementation of the management system. Before certification is granted, all nonconforming and corrective actions raised at stages 1 and 2 must be addressed.
Stage 3 Annual surveillance Audit	The purpose of surveillance audit is to verify that the certified management system continues to fulfill requirements of the ISO standards. Surveillance audits are to be conducted at least once a year, with the 1st surveillance audit scheduled at least 12 months from the last day of the certification audit.
Stage 4 Re-certification Audit	The recertification audit is to occur every three years from the original certification of the client’s management system.
