Certification trajectory

Your certification has a validity of three years. But only if you have yearly check-ups. During a previous audit the auditor has to plan the date for next year. An email will verify this date.

A couple of days before the audit you will receive an auditplan from our auditor.

On the agreed date our auditor will visit your company. On this day the auditor:

• Will examinand verify the structure, policy, procesess, procedures, files and all related documents concerning the organisation and management system.
• Will establish if the points above meet up with the requirements of the certification.
• Will establish if the processes and procedures determined, are  implemented and maintained. So there is a basic set up for trust in the management system.
• Will report possible deviations when they occure between policy, goals and targets.

After the auditor has finished the report and has reached his/hers decision, you will receive the final report by email.

After finishing the last controle-audit, the auditor plans a date for the recertification.

A couple of days before the audit you receive an auditplan from our auditor.

On the agreed date our auditor visits your company. On this day the auditor:

• Examines and verifies the structure, policy, procesess, procedures, files and all related documents concerning the organisation and management system.
• Establishes if the points above meet up with the requirements of the certification.
• Establishes if the processes and procedures determined, are being implemented and maintained. So there is a basic set up for trust in the management system.
• Reports possible deviations when they occure between policy, goals and targets.

After finishing the audit, the auditor reports back to you and  another auditor reviews the report. When both the auditor and reviewer give a positive verdict, you receive an email containing the report and therefor the final decision.

After the report is finalised, we issue the certificate. You receive this by email and post.

Being proud of your certificate
As soon as you have received the certificate, you can claim to be a certified organisation. This means you can take the next steps:

• Logos: You may use the ‘Certified by NCI’-Logos. They are digital and can be used on notepaper, websites, newsletters, etc. The logos and logo procedure are being mailed to you along with the certificate.
• We also have free transparant stickers which can be applied to windows, doors, vehicles, etc. They can be applied inside as well as outside. You can request them by sending an email to info@nci-certificering.nl.

If during the audit deficiencies are being detected, we fill in a form. You receive this form after the audit is finished.

The deficiencies form describes the cause, size and path of solution of the deficiencies. The norm states that you have up to 3 months after finishing the audit to correct the deficiencies. If not, a second additional research will be noted.

Written Additional research: the auditor assesses the evidence you have provided. A positive review means all deficiencies are cancelled.
Additional research: the auditor checks the implementation of the corrective actions on site. A positive review means all deficiencies are cancelled.

The auditor sets up the non-conformity form as a report and asks one of his/her collegues to review it. When both of them have a positive verdict, you receive an email containing the report and the final verdict.

Of course you will receive the certificate after a positive verdict. We send a scan of it by email. The actual certificate, that is valid for 3 years, is send to you by post. You will not receive a new certificate at the first or second controle audit. But you may carry out your certificate proudly.
