From application to certificate, in five steps.
Every step will be documented, traced and entrusted to the right person, so you will always know where your file stands. Gardiant Certification will open this process once it has obtained accreditation.

The five steps
- Application. You will fill in the application form: activity, headcount, sites, requested scope. This information will be used to calculate the audit duration, nothing else.
- Review and quote. We will check that we have the competence to audit you and that no conflict of interest exists. You will then receive a detailed quote and the certification agreement.
- Audit. An auditor qualified for your sector will carry out the audit, on site or remotely, and present their findings at the closing meeting. The written report will follow within 10 working days.
- Decision. Someone who took no part in the audit will review the file and decide. If the decision is favourable, the certificate will be issued and the organisation listed in the directory of certified organisations.
- Surveillance and renewal. Surveillance audits will check that conformity is maintained throughout the validity of the certificate, up to renewal.
