It only takes 4 steps Stage 1 Gap analysis Consultant visits to run through a gap analysis, and then draft a manual to the chosen standard, highlighting areas of non-compliance. Surveillance To ensure the client s certification remains valid, the manual and processes must be checked on an annual basis by QMS. This happens within 30 days of the anniversary of the certification date. Stage 2 Implementation The client will need to action any non-conformances highlighted in the gap analysis report and ensure that the necessary policies and procedures are brought into use within the organisation. QMS can advise on how best to do this.
