Our Company

We serve some of the largest organizations to some of the smallest organizations in North America; in the private and non-profit sectors, and government sectors. With multiple offices in the United States and an office in Ontario, Canada, we provides local certification services throughout North America. With access to a large network of auditors located strategically throughout the world, we provide the service of an international provider with the benefits of being local.

Accreditation

Accreditation verifies the certification body/registrar’s competence. To fulfill the accreditation criteria, an accrediting authority assesses the certification body/registrar to verify that the certification body/registrar complies with existing requirements. This is the authorities’ way of auditing the auditors, such as certification bodies like DNV.

What is third party accredited certification?

Accredited certification of management systems is used to demonstrate compliance to a standard in a trusted way. Using an accredited third party certification body/registrars demonstrates that the auditing company is meets the required quality standard set by the accrediting authority.

Risk Based Certification™ – methodology

Risk Based Certification is DNV’s exclusive approach to all management system certification. Knowing where to focus improvement efforts is critical to take control of risk elements that can threaten your business success. Before the audit starts, you provide input on what operational processes are most crucial to your business success. We evaluate how well your management system supports your focus areas.

Our Risk Based Certification approach tailors the process to evaluate your select business risks in addition to compliance with the standard’s requirements. The outcome is still a certificate – if the management system is found compliant – but with added dimension to your improvement journey.
