DEKRA Audit Netherlands
Do you want to guarantee and optimize the quality and efficiency of your business processes?
ISO 9001 certification
Optimize your quality processes with an ISO 9001 audit
An ISO 9001 audit shows whether your processes and services are of a high quality. Then, if you attain ISO 9001 certification, the standard challenges you to continually improve. When conducting an ISO 9001 audit for your organisation, DEKRA’s experts focus on your organisation's specific quality processes. This ensures that your ISO 9001 certification is tailored specifically to your organisation.
The ISO 9001 audit procedure
People Based Auditing
Various certification bodies conduct ISO 9001 audits. What makes DEKRA unique? Our audit process always considers the human factor because experience has taught us how vital people are to the implementation of processes, systems and working methods. We call our approach People Based Auditing. A method that has been highly appreciated by our certificate holders for many years. It is now a standard part within audits where behaviour and awareness of employees play a role, such as in ISO 9001 accreditation.
In this way, we work with you to go one step further than the standard ISO 9001 requirements. You discover whether your organisational culture is aligned to the processes required. Human behaviour is the determining factor for success and People Based Auditing gives you an insight into this factor. This will make the quality management system come to life (even more) within your organisation and among your employees.
How does People Based Auditing work?
For you and your organisation, ISO 9001 accreditation with our unique People Based Auditing method means that:
- our auditors take the time to learn about your organization, your specific needs and requirements;
- you will have a single point of contact throughout the entire process;
- we will prepare you for the certification process as much as possible;
- there will be greater awareness of the service quality.
1. Introduction meeting (optional)
We are happy to visit you or contact you via Teams or telephone. In the meeting, we discuss the ISO 9001 standard. Your organisation will then start to prepare for the ISO 9001 audit by carrying out an internal audit on the effectiveness of your processes.
2. On-site audit
Our auditors will carry out an audit on-site (at your organisation) to assess and review the effectiveness of your processes and see whether they are implemented as described in your organisation's quality management system. If the ISO 9001 audit reveals any differences, your corrective actions that meet ISO 9001 requirements can be reviewed.
3. ISO 9001 audit report and evaluation
Our auditors will share the results of the audit with you in the form of an audit report.
4. ISO 9001 certification and DEKRA Seal
If you pass the audit, you will receive your ISO 9001 certification, valid for three years.
5. First follow-up audit
Within one year of the first audit, we will carry out a follow-up audit to see whether your quality system is still in compliance with the standard.
6. Second follow-up audit
Approximately one year after the first follow-up audit, we will carry out a second follow-up audit to check again whether your quality system is still in compliance with the standard.
7. Recertification
Three years after you obtain ISO 9001 certification, we will schedule a recertification audit. If the audit outcome is positive, we will extend your certification for another three years. You will then have a follow-up audit every year.
