The standards we work with
We help you implement one standard, or several as one integrated system. We also prepare laboratories, inspection bodies and certification bodies for accreditation.

How a project runs
Every organisation starts from a different place, so we adapt the steps. The aim is always a system your staff use every day, not a folder made for the auditor.
Gap analysis
We compare your current practice with the standard and show you what is missing, in a short, prioritised report.
System design
We map your processes, risks and objectives, and agree how the system will fit your structure.
Documentation
We write the policies, procedures, SOPs and forms with your staff, in plain language they will follow.
Training
We train your managers, staff and internal auditors so the system runs without us.
Internal audit and review
We run the first internal audit and management review, and help you close the findings.
Certification
We prepare you for the certification body's audit and support you through it.
Sectors we serve
Public sector
Ministries, districts and agencies that must deliver good service at reasonable cost and account for public money. We help with ISO 9001, RS 600 SOPs and service charters.
Manufacturing and production
Quality, product compliance and certification for factories and processors, with advice on the standards and regulations that apply to your products.
Services
IT, health, finance, logistics, legal and laboratory services that want proof of reliable, secure and consistent delivery.
Construction
Firms that need safety, environmental and quality credentials to win tenders and reduce risk on site.
