This permits certification for those companies or organisations that wish to obtain a number of different types of certificate simultaneously or who, as they already possess certain certificates, wish to obtain certification in compliance with other standards.
These standards may relate to:
- Quality systems (ISO 9000, ISO/TS 16949, Automotive References);
- Environmental management systems (ISO 14001, environmental verification).
This integration enables phases common to different certification processes to be carried out together, with the following benefits: a single audit, a single audit team, and an optimisation of auditing time, as certain requirements of the standards are equivalent.
