Support for ISO certification

Industrial and service companies in Africa are seeking to align their quality, safety, and environmental requirements to meet market and regulatory requirements while strengthening their overall performance.

Structured support for implementing an integrated management system (IMS) helps harmonize processes, prepare for certification audits, and ensure a smooth transition to triple ISO certification, thereby reducing the risk of nonconformities during the final audit.

Our approach

• Initial audit of the existing management system and identification of gaps against the target ISO standard
• Awareness workshops and stakeholder training on ISO standard requirements
• Development and updating of documentation (procedures, instructions, records) in accordance with standard requirements
• Implementation of corrective actions and operational improvements with performance indicator monitoring
• Preparation and execution of a comprehensive internal audit to validate compliance before the certification audit
• Support during the certification audit and handling of any nonconformities

Deliverables

• Initial audit report with gap table and associated action plan
• Documentation for the certifiable management system (manual, procedures, forms)
• User guide and team training on the new system
• Internal audit report with findings and recommendations
• Certification audit summary and post-certification follow-up plan
