Written procedures for checking, and usually for producing, products And, there is an accreditation organization not partģ) When you visit the factory, test them out. There is a registrar here in the USA who will issue certificates without auditing the plant at all, I will not risk a libel lawsuit by calling them names but in my mind certification from this organization is meaningless. At a minimum I would expect the registrar to be accredited by an organization who is a member of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF). (A related red flag: if your established supplier changes registrar companies often, that’s a real concern.)Ģ) Check that the registrar (the third party who issues the certificate) are themselves accredited,Īnd by whom. Several years are really needed for a system to “mature”. It is relatively easy to get through an initial registration, but harder to keep the registration.

If they claim certifications to several standards (ex ISO 901): have they prepared an integrated management system? Again, having several manuals screams “it’s just paperwork”.ġ) Consider how long the supplier has held the certification.

Do they simply repeat the standard when you read the manual? It is a signal that they just prepared paperwork to get certified, rather than living and breathing the standard.

What exclusions did they apply relative to clause 7 (product realization), and do they seem justified?.

Believe it or not, but a factory can be certified as compliant to the ISO 9001 standard if its stated objective is “less than 30% of defects”.

Look at the objectives they have set for themselves.

What basic information (employees.) is written about the company? Is it the same as they told you?.

Tips specific for ISO 9001 certificationsĪsk for the quality manual (which might be only in Chinese, unfortunately) and check: Call the registrar and ask them if they have accredited this company (there are lots of fake certificates around).Check if the scope written on the certificate includes manufacturing your products.Check the validity date of the certificate.Check if the names match between these two documents, and also with the supplier’s email signature and business card.

Always ask for the company’s business registration certificate and for the certificate.If a potential suppliers tells you they have a certification, should you simply accept this as a fact? I would advise to follow the following advice:

There are also customer-specific standards - a large buyer defines a standard and requires its suppliers to comply with it. In addition to general standards, there are many industry-specific standards: AS9100C, OSO/TS 16949, etc. I admit I don’t know much about this standard, which will probably be replaced by ISO 45001 soon. It sets certain rules regardless of the country, and the application of local laws (whichever is stricter). The auditor takes a good look at the following areas: child labor, forced labor, health & safety, freedom of association, discrimination, disciplinary practices, working hours, and remuneration. It is the equivalent of ISO 9001, but related to respect of the environment rather than quality. This more recent standard has been fashionable over the past few years. That’s why I beware of accreditations delivered by publicly listed companies (SGS, Bureau Veritas, etc.) and of course by Chinese registrars. It is too easy with the right registrar, since registrars that are too strict can’t get clients. In practice, a lot of Chinese companies got ISO 9001 certified even though they don’t deserve it. It lays out what a technical committee considered to be the very minimum any company should comply with, if they aim at satisfying their customers and at improving over time.

This is by far the most popular “management standard”, with a focus on quality. Note that a factory’s certification has nothing to do with the certification of its products. In principle, if serious nonconformities are noticed, the renewal is impossible. Regular re-audits will be necessary to renew the certification. The registrar will audit the factory and certify that it is compliant to a certain standard. How does it work?Ī factory that wants to get a certification (also called “accreditation”) needs to pay a company (which is itself a certified “registrar”) to get such a document. I will try to clarify it in this article. Purchasers without a background in the quality field often have trouble understanding what “our factory is certified” really means.
