Corporate Certification provides a tailored certification service for multi-sited clients who operate to a common system. The service links together any number of Manufacturing Sites, Sales Offices, Technical Centres etc., and treats them as one corporation. In so doing a package can be developed that is more focused than certification of individual sites, typically providing an improved level of service and a reduced total cost.

Using a Risk Based approach to Certification, rather than traditional approaches, CICS will develop an audit plan with you covering a 3 year assessment cycle. This allows for the identification of focus areas related to the issues identified by risk assessment which may have the biggest impact on the business as well the assessment of areas selected by us to maintain independence and accreditation requirements.

 

Eligibility

CICS can offer Corporate certification to multi sited clients who meet the strict eligibility requirements.

 

The benefits of this certification is that a risk based approach is applied to the whole business activity, this allows assessment time to be focused on the important activities and core support activities can be assessed centrally reducing over all assessment time and allowing focused assessment on areas of importance.

 

Corporate certification can be issued where there is a common system in place. The degree of commonality will vary but must meet minimum requirements.
