Objectives & Benefits of Inspection
Quality Management Systems Certification ensures that the company's ongoing effort for continuous improvement in reducing potential risks in food importing and/or during the manufacturing process is publicly recognized.

Step by Step
Certification Process
ISO 9001:2015 Certification is provided by a Certification Body accredited to this standard.
Application
The Company must decide on the type of certification and apply for it.
Pre-Assessment Inspection
The Certification Body provides an appropriate inspection team and performs a pre-assessment on-site inspection of the Quality Management System.
Documentation Review
During the pre-assessment inspection, the Certification Body checks the completeness of system documentation (manual, procedures, instructions, forms, etc.) and implementation (Archives) under the International Standard ISO 9001:2015.
Corrective Actions
Deviations are recorded and the Company defines the appropriate period of time within which the necessary corrective actions will take place.
Assessment Audit
Once the corrective actions have been taken, the Assessment inspection takes place, during which the system is audited as a whole and the completion of all corrective actions is checked.
Certification Issued
If the Assessment inspection does not record any non-compliances to the standard ISO 9001:2015 then the Certification Body issues the ISO 9001:2015 Certification. In the case of recorded non-compliances the Company must take further corrective actions.
Required Documents
During the Audit all the below are checked:
- License of the Company and the accompanying documents
- Other permits required
- Organizational Structure / Chart
- Objectives
- Procedures
- Instructions for External Documents (eg Legislation)
