We confirm the applicable standard, assessment criteria, operational locations, processes, exclusions, and required outcomes.

Independent Audit or Assessment
The organisation is assessed against the agreed standard or verification criteria through interviews, observations, sampling, and record evaluation.
6
Step 6
Reporting and Corrective Action
A formal report details conformity, nonconformities, observations, and improvement opportunities, with time to address findings where needed.

Step 7
Certification or Verification Decision
Certification or verification is issued only after applicable requirements have been satisfactorily demonstrated and corrective actions accepted.
