Audits from ISO Certification Services

Audits take many forms, first party, second party, and third party, acredited and non-accredited.

First Party Audits – An internal audit of your systems, sometimes carried out as an impartial check of your operations, or maybe as an internal audit prior to your accreditation audit for certification purposes. Perhaps your company doesn’t have an in-house internal auditor, or requires an independent systems check for compliance verification.

Second Party Audits – Usually carried out on your suppliers or prospective suppliers and may be paid for by them to assure you that their systems are in place to satisfy your company’s needs. Everything may be OK while things are running smoothly, but can they cope if something goes wrong, can they trace back to how and why, can they recall affected products, if not it may be your company that suffers. We can perform an independent audit of their systems for your peace of mind. For this service we travel all over the world, or maybe we are closer to them than you are.

Third Party Audits – An accreditation audit for certification purposes. All our auditors are accredited and able to carry out accreditation audits for certification purposes. Our areas of expertise cover Quality (ISO 9001:2008), Environmental (ISO 14001:2004), Information Security (ISO 27001:2005), and Health & Safety (OHSAS 18001:2007).
