Actual quality is not just a matter of documentation… with this approach Q.C.B. Italia leads the certification process. We are focused on the effectiveness of the quality management system and on critical issues or gaps; our professionals have the ability to provide not only an independent evaluation, but also the necessary added value, so that the certification process will not be only a waste of time.
Steps to achieve ISO 9001 certification
1. Application for certification
The customer sends to Q.C.B. Italia a request with general characteristics of its organization. With this information Q.C.B. Italia prepares a personalized offer regarding the chosen certification services and sends it back to the customer.
2. Pre-audit “Stage 1”
After the stipulation of the contract the organization will start the Pre-audit (Stage 1). This audit consists of the examination of Quality Management System’s documentation and includes a visit in the organization and an interview with the staff involved in activities relevant to Quality Management System. This initial stage permits to both Q.C.B. Italia and customer to discuss about the application of Quality Management System and to determine whether the organization is ready for the initial certification audit. Q.C.B. Italia issues a written report concerning the preparation of the customer for the initial audit.
3. Initial CertificationAudit “Stage 2”
During the conclusion of Pre-audit (Stage 1) Q.C.B. Italia agrees with the customer the date for the initial certification audit; Q.C.B. Italia assigns an evaluation team composed by qualified Auditors, that will visit the company in order to assess the conformity of Quality Management System to ISO 9001 and its application in the organizational context.
At the end of the audit Q.C.B. Italia issues a detailed written report.
4. Certification
The certification is issued after a positive evaluation of the initial audit. The validity of Q.C.B. Italia certification is subject to surveillance audits (semi annual/annual) that verify continued compliance with ISO 9001. Surveillance audits will cover specific points of the standard and, in general, are shorter than the initial certification audit.
Q.C.B. Italia is able to perform the certification process integrated with other management systems.
