Planning the Audit
|
After the signed agreement has been received, DAC will contact you to schedule an audit date. |
|
Receipt of Audit Plan
|
You will receive the audit plan from the auditor a few days before your audit is performed. It will tell you exactly what you can expect from the audit. |
|
Certification-audit
|
The auditor will perform the audit on the agreed day. On this day the auditor will:
1. Research and verify the structure, policy lines, processes, procedures, files and related documents of the organisation that are relevant for the management system.
2. Determine whether the points mentioned above meet the requirements in connection to the scope of the certification.
3. Determine whether the processes and procedures are set, implemented and effectively maintained and thus creating the basis for confidence in the management system.
4. Inform you of possible discrepancies, if any, in the policy, the goals and target numbers of your organisation in terms of the measures that have to be taken. |

Reporting
|
The auditor will write the report and deposit it for assessment with one of our reviewers. As soon as the report has assessed positively by the auditor and the reviewer, we will send you the report via email which is the final decision. |
|
Issuance of the Certificate
|
After the report has been approved and the invoice has been paid in full, we will draft your certificate. You will receive a scan of the certificate via email. We will send the original certificate via the post. |
Present yourself as a certified company
|
As soon as you have received the certificate, you are able to present yourself as a certified company. You may do the following:
- Logos: You may use the NCI “certified” logo. These logos are digital and you may use them on your stationary, website, newsletters, etc. We will email you the logos and accompanying procedure together with the certificate.
- Stickers: We have NCI “certified” stickers that we will provide to you at no charge. The stickers can be used on windows, doors, vehicles, etc. All stickers are transparent and apart from the NCI colours (blue and orange) you can also order them in black or white. The stickers are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. You may request the stickers at no cost at info@nci-bv.nl.
