General Description of the Scheme
The service being offered is a light certification scheme. This is a simplified certification process, which is conducted entirely online and via teleconference without an in-house audit, with the intention of reducing both the time necessary and the associated costs. The process entails the provision of a self-assessment questionnaire and relevant documentation, with (at least) one formal video conference call before successful issue of the certificate.
