ISO Management System Certification
ISO Certification Process
PT Global System International (GSI) follows a structured, impartial, and evidence-based process to evaluate conformity and support credible certification decisions.
From Application to Continued Certification
Each activity is planned according to the applicable management system standard, certification scope, organization size, operational complexity, sites, and relevant scheme requirements.
Application and Certification Inquiry
The organization submits initial information covering the requested standard, proposed certification scope, activities, locations, workforce, and other information required for application review.
Application Review and Proposal
GSI reviews the application, confirms that the required competence and resources are available, determines the proposed audit duration, and provides a certification proposal.
Certification Agreement and Audit Planning
After the proposal is accepted, GSI confirms the certification scope, contractual terms, audit team, dates, locations, and audit arrangements while managing competence and impartiality requirements.
Stage 1 Audit — Readiness Review
Stage 1 is conducted to understand the organization and its management system, confirm the proposed scope, and evaluate readiness for the Stage 2 Audit.
- Management system documented information.
- Organization context, scope, processes, and locations.
- Applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
- Internal audit and management review status.
- Readiness for Stage 2 is evaluated.
- Areas of concern are communicated.
- Stage 2 arrangements and focus are confirmed.
Stage 2 Audit — Implementation and Effectiveness
Stage 2 evaluates whether the management system is implemented and effective in meeting the applicable standard, the organization’s policies and objectives, and relevant requirements.
- Implementation across relevant processes and functions.
- Objective evidence from records, interviews, and observation.
- Operational control, performance evaluation, and improvement.
- Conformity with applicable certification requirements.
- Audit findings and conclusions are reported.
- Conformities and nonconformities are identified.
- Evidence is available for certification review.
Correction and Corrective Action Review
When nonconformities are identified, the organization submits corrections, cause analysis, corrective actions, and supporting evidence. GSI evaluates the response and may conduct follow-up verification when required.
Technical Review and Certification Decision
Audit information and conclusions are independently reviewed by competent personnel who were not involved in conducting the audit. Certification is granted only when applicable requirements have been fulfilled.
Certificate Issuance
Following a positive certification decision, GSI issues the certificate for the approved standard, organization, locations, and certification scope, subject to the applicable certification terms.
Surveillance Audits
Surveillance audits are conducted at planned intervals during the certification cycle to confirm continued conformity, implementation, effectiveness, and appropriate use of certification.
Recertification
Before the current certificate expires, a recertification audit evaluates the continued conformity and effectiveness of the management system and supports a decision for the next certification cycle.
