Certification preparation

ISO 9001... The path to certification requires experience

The implementation of a quality management system (QMS) in a company represents a considerable challenge. The subsequent testing or certification of the QMS often proves to be even more complex. Specific specialist knowledge and extensive experience are essential for successful implementation, and the final steps to obtaining certification in particular can be resource-intensive and challenging.

Right at the start of the process, the key question often arises: Which standard is best suited to my company? We offer you comprehensive support here - from the initial decision for certification to the structured design of the QMS and the implementation of internal audits to professional support of the certification process by the external auditor.

Our certification preparation services

We support you throughout the entire process of setting up a quality management system: from defining goals, taking stock and planning projects and measures to implementation and creating the corresponding quality concept. A structured and coordinated approach is crucial to ensure high levels of acceptance in the various areas.

We have a modular sample quality management manual that can be easily adapted to the needs of your company. We also offer a variety of other sample concepts and regulations. We use these resources specifically in our consulting to optimize the creation process and make it more efficient. We will be happy to provide you with these materials upon request.

Based on your individual situation, we develop a tailor-made implementation concept that is based on proven best practices. On this basis, we develop a detailed project plan for the introduction or further development of your quality management system.

Conducting an internal audit

During an internal audit, the effectiveness of internal measures, controls and processes is thoroughly checked. This includes conducting tests, reviewing documentation, inspecting work processes and interviewing employees. Our qualified specialists have the necessary expertise and our proven procedures ensure that the process runs efficiently.

Technical expertise in the field of quality management and the relevant standards as well as the appropriate handling of the auditor and the so-called findings (deviations from the standard identified by the auditor) are crucial for a successful certification process. You benefit from our extensive experience in supporting numerous successful certifications.

Experience leads to master certification

A certification project requires extensive experience to carry it out both successfully and efficiently. CertifyNow has the necessary expertise on many levels to optimally implement your project.

Our team undergoes regular internal and external training courses, and a continuous exchange of experience is a matter of course. This also includes dialogue with experts from related fields, such as information security.

From status quo analyses to project planning: For more than a decade, we have been successfully implementing quality management systems and supporting numerous projects through to certification. We rely on tried and tested procedures and methods.

The certification of a quality management system requires not only technical expertise and project experience in setting up a QMS. In fact, support during the certification process offers additional added value that should not be underestimated. In particular, preparation for the external audit and dealing with the auditors are decisive factors for successful certification.
