CERTIFICATION & MANAGEMENT AUDITS

Get certified. Stay certified. Without the drama.

BQCIS designs, runs, and strengthens management systems—then audits them with discipline. You get clear nonconformity findings, practical fixes, and documentation that stands up to certification bodies, customers, and regulators.

What This Covers (Frameworks & Schemes)

Core Management Systems

ISO 9001 (Quality) · ISO 14001 (Environment) · ISO 45001 (OH&S) · ISO 27001 (Information Security)
ISO 22301 (Business Continuity) · ISO 50001 (Energy) · ISO 20000-1 (IT Service)

Sector-Specific & Supply Chain

IATF 16949 (Automotive) · AS/EN 9100 (Aerospace) · ISO 13485 (Med-devices)
ISO 22000 / FSSC 22000 / HACCP (Food safety) · BRCGS Packaging (readiness)
ISO/IEC 17025 (Laboratory) – accreditation readiness & internal audits
Social/Ethical baselines (SMETA/SA8000 readiness)
Customer-specific programs (retailer/marketplace or OEM requirements)

Note on impartiality: BQCIS conducts first-party (internal) and second-party (supplier) audits, gap assessments, and certification prep. Accredited third-party certification is issued by a recognized certification body; we coordinate and support you through that process.

Why Teams Use BQCIS (Outcomes)

Certification on schedule with fewer findings during Stage 2
Clean surveillance cycles thanks to realistic procedures and trained owners
Supplier risk down: comparable audits, consistent scoring, rapid CAPA closure
Defensible evidence: audit trails, competence records, and QR-verifiable packs

Program Options (Pick One—or Combine)

Certification Fast-Track (90–150 days) — Gap → system build → internal audit → management review → CB audit escort.
Internal Audit Outsourcing — Independent first-party audits; risk-based schedule; objective evidence captured.
Supplier & Contract Manufacturer Audits — Uniform scorecards, escalation rules, CAPA coaching.
Integrated Management System (IMS) — Merge 9001+14001+45001 (and/or 27001) into one system.
Certification Rescue — Triage after heavy findings or failed audit; containment, root cause, and re-audit plan.

How We Audit (Clear, Predictable Flow)

Plan → Perform → Evaluate → Report → Verify → Sustain

Plan – Define criteria, scope, strategy, sites
Perform – Interview, observe, sample records, traceability
Evaluate – Compare to standard & procedures/KPIs
Report – Grade findings; recommend CAPA
Verify – Review effectiveness; close NCRs
Sustain – Schedule surveillance, coach owners

Finding Grades & Closure Rules

Grade	Typical Trigger	Containment	Root Cause & CAPA	Effectiveness Check
Critical	Legal/safety breach; systematic failure	Immediate (24–72h)	≤ 10 business days	30–60 days
Major	Clause not met; systemic gap	≤ 5 business days	≤ 20 business days	60–90 days
Minor	Isolated lapse; doc gap	As agreed	≤ 30 business days	Next audit
OFI	Improvement opportunity	N/A	Optional	Tracked as risk
