CERTIFICATION
The purpose of quality.com.au is to "make quality certification easy and available to any business." quality.com.au (Quality) does this through our 5 stage 10 week program myQuality. We do not provide the actaul certification.
But we can organise a no-obligation estimate on your behalf from Australia's premier certification service provider, Global-Mark within 48 hours. FREE OF CHARGE. See below.
NEW CERTIFICATION
Certification and selection of the right certification provider is a complex process. Our managing consultant, John Mason, even wrote an entire book on the subject (see Resources). As part of any consulting services involving certification, Quality will ensure you receive the best price, quality and service from your certification provider.
But we are often asked "Who do you use?" or "Who do you recommend?"
Sure Quality has preferences concerning different structures, markets and complexities, but the process of selection will be through a discovery process to ensure the best outcome for you. And for the record, quality.com.au is certified to 9001, 14001 & 4801 with Global-Mark.
However, to get an idea of the process and the fees involved, simply complete all the details on our online Certification Estimate Request form and we will organise a no-obligation Certification Estimate for you within 48 hours free of charge.
TRANSFER YOUR CERTIFICATION
You should never feel dissatisfied, locked in, or apprehensive of the certification process. And if your are, you should consider changing your current provider. You deserve the very best in price, service and quality of reporting.
"Can you do that?"
Yes you can. You can transfer between JAS-ANZ accredited certification providers within 10 days with no upfront costs (conditions* apply). Your only fees should be the fees for the next scheduled audit.
"But aren't all certification costs the same?"
No, they are not. Daily rates differ. Accreditation levies differ. Sample sizes differ. Audit durations differ. Some over service and charge accordingly. Some charge metro travel. Some charge travel time. Some even 'hide' fees in non-auditing activities to make them look competitive. It can be very complex.
As part of any consulting services involving certification, Quality will review your current certification provider and make sure you are getting what you need.
However, to get an idea of the transfer process and the fees involved, simply complete all the details on our online Certification Estimate Request form and we will organise a no-obligation Certification Estimate for you within 48 hours free of charge.
Conditions* There are two main conditions that could possibly block a transfer. Any open major nonconformance. Any invoicing dispute. Other than that and the availability of the relevant records, a transfer should not be a problem.
CASE STUDY
A large insurance assessment company had 22 branches within NSW. Their current certification provider was conducting audits every 6 months, sampling 9 branches every 6 months. That’s 18 of 22 branches every year. They were they being over serviced? Yes, they were. Quality was able to source an alternate provider, bring the frequency of audits down to an annual event and secured the reduction of branches audited to only 5 (not 18, based on the JAS-ANZ guidelines) resulting in an annual saving of $22,000 per year!
