We can help you at every key step in the process of successfully implementing and certifying your management system.
If you’re currently one of our clients and you already have standards in place, your Client Manager can help guide you through the certification process.
If you’re new to BSI, don’t worry - we can guide you through the route to certification.
1. Choose the standard
Before you can begin preparing for your application, you'll need a copy of the applicable standard. You should read this and make yourself familiar with it.
2. Make contact
Get in touch and tell us what you need, so we can identify the best services for your organization. We’ll then give you a proposal detailing the cost and time involved in a formal assessment.
3. Meet your assessment team
We’ll assign you a dedicated Client Manager, who will be your main point of contact throughout the process – and beyond. They’ll be familiar with your business area and will support you as you move forward to assessment and certification.
4. Consider training
Whether you’re seeking to implement a management system or would like to increase your general awareness of the standard, we offer a range of workshops, seminars and training courses.
5. Pre-assessment
We can carry out an optional pre-assessment of your management system against the relevant standard, and identify any omissions or weaknesses that need resolving before formal assessment.
6. Formal assessment
A formal initial assessment is made up of a series of stages that depend on the chosen standard.
7. Certification and beyond
Once the formal assessment has been successfully completed, we’ll issue a certificate of registration, clearly outlining the scope of your certification. The certificate is valid a defined period of time depending on the standard. Your Client Manager will carry out regular assessments to ensure you remain compliant, and support your continual improvement activities.
