Check the validity of a certificate
Management system certification is a type of assurance to customers that the company is working effectively and that their management system conforms to the requirements of a particular standard.
It is possible for you to check whether a company that declares that their management system is actually certified by ISOQAR is actually telling the truth.
The validity of a certificate issued by ISOQAR Ltd. can be verified at any time on the website or by contacting our office and providing the certificate number.
If, during verification you find discover a discrepancy, please contact us. We are committed to resolve all such inconsistencies.
Choosing an auditor and their role
In ISOQAR we have a deep sense of duty to ensure that the auditors, who have been assigned to conduct the audit possess appropriate qualifications, knowledge and experience, in other words that they are competent.
The fact of passing an examination in the relevant standard is not sufficient to carry out audits for ISOQAR CEE. The auditor to be appointed to certify your management system must have adequate knowledge and experience of your industry.
Rules of Certification & Registration
The Rules for Certification and Registration regulate the way in which we carry out the business between our Organisations. These rules together with the signed application and our proposal, form an agreement concerning certification and the use of the certificate and its’ registration.
Accreditation
Accreditation of a certification body is the official recognition by an independent entity that the certification body has the resources and qualifications to conduct audits of management systems in specific areas of activity.
Accredited certification ensures that the audit was conducted in accordance with international standards and best available practices. This provides you and your customers with the assurance and confidence that the certified management system meets the requirements of the relevant standard.
