ASCCB Accreditation Process

Our accreditation process is clear and structured, so you always know what comes next. Each stage builds on the one before it, from your first application to the certificate and ongoing surveillance.

  1. Step 01

    Application

    The certification body submits its application with details of the scope, locations and standards it wants to be accredited for.

  2. Step 02

    Audit Schedule

    ASCCB confirms the assessment team and agrees a schedule for the document review and on-site assessment.

  3. Step 03

    Documents Review

    Assessors review the management system documentation against the relevant international standard and requirements.

  4. Step 04

    ASCCB Conducts Audit

    The assessment team evaluates competence, impartiality and implementation, and reports any findings.

  5. Step 05

    Corrective Actions

    The certification body provides evidence and documents showing how each finding has been addressed.

  6. Step 06
