How to achieve certification

The process of registration follows 3 simple steps:

- Application for registration is made by the organisation

- Assessment of the organisations management system is undertaken by NQA Cyprus

- Registration is granted by NQA Cyprus and maintained by the organisation

Quality Management

Certification to the requirements system standards, such as ISO 9001/2000, is recognised as a tried and tested way of improving company performance and productivity and is a benchmark for working towards and achieving business excellence.  Not only are companies able to use quality management systems as an effective management tool to add value to the project or service offering, but can demonstrate to customers, supply chain and the community at large the possibility to minimise risk and reduce wastage.

Environmental Management

Conforming with environmental legislation and meeting the demands of the green lobby present major challenges to organisations today.  Environmental issues have come to the forefront in recent years with greater awareness amongst legislators, financiers, shareholders, customers, employees and neighbours.  The international community is looking at ways of reducing the impact on the environment to insure it is protected for future generations.  Many people may consider the practicalities of environmental care to be beyond individuals, but in reality, it is very easy for everyone to reduce environmental damage.

NQA Cyprus is committed to ensuring that Environmental Management Systems are implemented, maintained and found to comply with the chosen environmental standard.  We believe that we have a key role to play in ensuring that registered environmental management systems are delivering meaningful results.  We use highly qualified and experienced auditors and ensure that they have knowledge of EMS, Pollution Abatement and control techniques and also knowledge of the type of organisation they are auditing.

The focus of our EMS audits that the requirements of the standard have been met and audit programmes also focus on ensuring that the resources committed to achieving the standard are being expended in an effective manner that truly benefits the environment.  This is accomplished through close examination of the factors that give rise to ongoing environmental performance improvement to help the organisation in meeting regulatory requirements, and deliver meaningful reduction in its environmental impacts, thus improving environmental performance as a whole.

Health and Safety Management

In a climate of increasing health and safety legislation and liabilities, organisations of all sizes and industry sectors are now implementing management systems as a framework for improving the health and safety performance.

Failure to take responsibility for occupational health and safety within an organisation could lead to serious consequences.  Not only large financial penalties, but most importantly the reputation of the organisation could be at stake through public naming and shaming.

Choosing NQA Cyprus to audit your health and safety management system will ensure that you stay on the right side of the law and bring with it a number of benefits including:

• The flexibility to employ additional resource when you need it
• 100% of assessor’s time. You only pay for what is done
• Full trained, qualified and experienced auditors used
• Electronic report sent to you on completion of each audit

Supporting service should not be forgotten and providers of food transportation storage and distribution, catering services as well as product suppliers for equipment, additives, raw materials, cleaning and sanitizing products, packaging.  In short if your product touched the food industry or the food we eat, part or all of the ISO 22000 requirements will apply.
