How does it work?
Step 1: Planning
We take time to understand the full scope of the inspection, creating a plan that is tailored to your organisation and addresses your operational needs.
Step 2: Test
If necessary, we will conduct a test with you before the inspection, to avoid any potential issues and to ensure the smooth delivery of your inspection on the day.
Step 3: Remote inspection
We conduct the inspection as planned which can be co-witnessed and participated by as many stakeholders as needed, using video conferencing and file and screen sharing technologies.
Step 4: After the remote inspection
An in-depth e-report is produced, detailing the inspection findings. If a certificate of approval is to be issued, this will be proceeded by a standard technical review.
Step 5: Follow-up
In the event of any nonconformities being raised, wherever possible we will carry out a remote review of corrective and preventive action.
