With the gradual liberalization of the market, there are more and more certification bodies in China. According to statistics, there are nearly 80 certification bodies in China at present, so how do enterprises choose the right certification body?
1. Authority:
The establishment of certification bodies must go through People's Republic of China (PRC) National Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA), which is a public institution managed by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. The National Certification and Accreditation Administration Commission is the competent department authorized by the State Council to perform administrative functions, manage, supervise and comprehensively coordinate the national certification and accreditation work. Only certification bodies recognized by CNCA can issue certificates in China. For example, many overseas certification bodies also issue certificates in China, but they didn't get the rights of certified enterprises in the process of government bidding, because they didn't file with CNCA. Serious cases may even be disqualified from bidding! In view of the fact that some enterprises also have a certain market abroad, we generally recommend that enterprises choose certification bodies with a certain reputation abroad and records at home to conduct audits to meet the market demand and bidding demand!
2. Professionalization
Auditors audit the ISO900 1 quality system of enterprises, which is to help enterprises find out the problems and deficiencies in the management process according to the standard requirements, help enterprises improve their management level, reduce the occurrence of quality accidents and give them real help. Therefore, a good auditor is like a good medicine, which tastes bitter, but it is beneficial to the development of enterprises! However, when encountering some stubborn auditors, enterprises can selectively judge whether they meet the needs of enterprise development and discuss the necessity of project rectification with auditors when necessary.
3. Flexibility
Undeniably, a large number of enterprises have obtained ISO900 1 certificates only to show customers that enterprises themselves do not have the conditions to operate in full accordance with ISO900 1 standards. At this time, there is no need to say that they meet the requirements of ISO900 1, because the enterprise just wants a certificate, but because most certification bodies have to ensure the authority and effectiveness of certification, they will struggle for a long time in some details. If the audit fails in serious cases, then the enterprise will suffer unnecessary losses at this time. So when choosing a certification body, you must choose a smarter certification body. Sometimes, it may be the same certification body, and different auditors will have different audit styles. In order to reduce unnecessary troubles, we generally require certification bodies to arrange the audit in Certification staff, which is familiar to us.
Step 4 facilitate
If the certification body is not large, it may not be possible to arrange auditors in every city in China. At this time, the selectivity of enterprises is very important, because the travel expenses of auditors in the audit process are borne by enterprises according to the actual amount. If the auditor arranged is too far away from the enterprise, the round-trip travel fee will be several thousand yuan, plus accommodation and catering expenses, which is not a small expense, because there is more room for choice.
5. Adaptability
The best is not necessarily the best for the enterprise. Due to the different historical background of the issuing agency, the gold content of the certificate is not the same. Foreign certification industry has a history of 100 years, and its popularity will naturally be higher than that of newly established certification companies. In order to maintain their popularity and certification authority, certification companies tend to be more rigorous and pay more attention to details, which reduces their flexibility. Therefore, we suggest that enterprises choose certification recognized by the public.
