How it works
- 1
Application & quotation
Share your organisation's size, sites and scope. GCQM prepares a clear quotation and audit-day calculation in line with IAF rules.
- 2
Stage 1 audit
Document review and readiness assessment to confirm the management system is designed to meet the standard.
- 3
Stage 2 audit
On-site audit of implementation and effectiveness. Findings are reported with objective evidence in an opening and closing meeting.
- 4
Certification decision
An impartial reviewer independent of the audit team takes the certification decision. GQCL issues the certificate with QR verification.
- 5
Surveillance & recertification
Annual surveillance audits maintain your certificate. A recertification audit in year three renews it for a further cycle.
