An important word on certification!
Businesses and manufacturers discover and understand what their quality processes are through certification. Everyone in the business should be aware of the quality processes and should implement and follow them. The quality processes should be documented and improved so that the quality commitment of the business can be shown to the network in which it operates.
The Certification Process
1. Application
There must be a South African National Standards (SANS) specification for your product. Complete the online application form found under the "Application" menu of this website.
2. Assessment Process
An audit date will be set to execute an onsite initial conformity assessment of the business' quality management system (QMS).
3. Product Testing
At the time of the onsite conformity assessment, product will be selected according to the applicable specification for testing. Witness testing will be performed onsite.
4. Non-conformance Correction
Should any non-conformances be raised during the audit, a determined time will be allowed to correct all non-conformances.
5. Approval
After all non-conformances has been cleared approval is passed and certification of conformance issued. Product witness testing and assessment of the QMS, surveillance audits, are made at least once a year and accompanied by full reporting.
Explaining "Conformity Assessment"!
This is the process used to show and prove that a QMS, or product, meets the requirements of the specification applicable. The process and requirements to do a conformity assessment are documented in the form of ISO standards. The CB's conformity assessment is thus guided and measured in terms of the applicable standard:
System Certification – SANS 17021-1:2016 – Conformity assessment — Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems.
Product Certification – SANS 17065:2012 – Conformity assessment — Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes and services.
Cement Certification – SANS 50197-1:2013 – Cement Part 1: Composition, specifications and…conformity criteria for common cements, and SANS 50413-1:2014 – Masonry cement Part 1: Composition, specifications and conformity criteria.
