GAP Analysis: We start with a comprehensive GAP analysis to assess your certification body's current level of compliance with the requirements of the ISO 17021-1 standard. This step enables the identification of key areas that need improvement to ensure impartiality, consistency and expertise in certification processes.
Development of the Action Plan: Based on the GAP analysis, we create a customized action plan that defines the key measures for improving your certification management system. This plan includes the optimization of procedures, the improvement of the evaluation system and the increase of transparency in the certification processes.
Implementation and Training: We assist in the implementation of defined measures, including the development and documentation of policies and procedures, staff training and the establishment of systems for continuous monitoring and quality improvement of certification processes.
