THE PROCESS
Our Certification Process
At Caledonian Corporation Limited, we follow a structured and transparent process designed to help organizations understand the applicable requirements, prepare for assessment and demonstrate conformity with relevant management system standards.
Our process emphasizes clear communication, objective assessment, impartiality and appropriate review at every applicable stage.
Application Submission
The organization submits the required application information, including its legal identity, scope of activities, number of employees, operating locations and other relevant details.
Application and Scope Review
The submitted information is reviewed to determine the requested certification scope, applicable requirements and whether the requested activities fall within our authorized scope.
Audit Planning
Where applicable, an audit plan is prepared based on the organization's activities, scope, locations and relevant certification requirements. Audit arrangements and responsibilities are communicated in advance.
Stage 1 Assessment
Where required by the applicable certification scheme, a preliminary assessment is conducted to review management system documentation, organizational readiness, scope and relevant preparedness for the next stage.
Stage 2 Assessment
The implementation and effectiveness of the management system are evaluated against the applicable standard. This may include interviews, review of documented information, examination of records and observation of relevant activities.
Findings and Corrective Actions
Where nonconformities are identified, they are communicated to the organization. The organization is required to address the findings and provide appropriate corrective-action evidence within the applicable requirements and timelines.
Independent Review and Certification Decision
Following the assessment and any required follow-up activities, the relevant information is reviewed by authorized personnel who are appropriately independent of the audit. Certification is granted only when the applicable requirements for a positive certification decision have been satisfied.
Certificate Issuance
Where certification is approved, the certificate is issued with the applicable scope, validity details and other required information. Certificate details are maintained in accordance with the applicable procedures.
Surveillance and Renewal
Where required by the certification scheme, surveillance activities are conducted during the certification cycle. Renewal or recertification is completed according to the applicable requirements and timelines.
Our Commitment to Transparency
We are committed to communicating the applicable process, responsibilities, requirements and outcomes clearly. Every certification activity is subject to the relevant scheme requirements, impartiality safeguards and the organization's verified authorization and scope.
