Corporate Certification

Integrate sites, reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Corporate certification provides a tailored certification service for multi-sited clients who operate to a common system. The service links together any number of manufacturing sites, sales offices, technical centres et al, and treats them as one corporation. In so doing a package can be developed that is more focused than certification of individual sites, typically providing an improved level of service and a reduced total cost.

Benefits of Corporate Certification

• Corporate certification can reduce cost by up to 25%
• Integrated schemes can reduce cost by up to 30%
• Fixed audit team and continuity
• Guaranteed capacity for role out programs
• Fixed cost schemes for three years
• Tailored audit with regular reviews
• Exceptional levels of customer service

Using an innovative risk-based approach to certification, CICS will develop an audit plan to cover a three year assessment cycle. This allows for the identification of focus areas related to the issues identified by risk assessment which may have the biggest impact on the business, as well as the assessment of areas selected by us to maintain independence and accreditation requirements.

Eligibility

CICS can offer corporate certification to multi sited clients who meet the strict eligibility requirements.

The benefits of this certification is that a risk based approach is applied to the whole business activity, allowing assessment time to be focused on the most important activities. Core support activities can be assessed centrally, reducing overall assessment time and allowing focused assessment on areas of importance.

Corporate certification can be issued where there is a common system in place. The degree of commonality will vary but must meet minimum requirements.
