A process you can trust
You think your services and products are great; your clients are constantly telling you that this is the case, but can you evidence it?
Aligning to a Scheme
In order to be certified, it is vital to align your company or organisation to a certain certification scheme. If you are unclear on which would be most relevant, our helpful team will be only too happy to discuss your requirements and help you to determine the best one.
Such a document will have been drawn up by a board of experts, often representing all parties involved in a certain market sector or profession, such as clients, manufacturers, suppliers, consultants and authorities. The scheme guideline forms the basis for certification.
The board of experts may also determine the qualifications for auditors and inspectors (who assess what has been laid down in the guideline) and sets the frequency and request for audits.
IFCC is able to certificate fire doors to US standard alongside certification to British and European standards.
This will be particularly useful to manufacturers in the Gulf region where US standards are often specified. Certification is available against the following standards UL10c (2009) and NFPA 252-(2008).
5 simple steps to certification
Audit and Issuing of Certificates
Once you are ready to have your product, process, service or management system certified, an auditor from IFC Certification will audit it. He or she represents us as the independent third party (alongside yourself and those who have drawn up the guideline).
To ensure traceability and consistency of production, IFC Certification routinely audits the manufacturer’s factory production control processes.
Monitoring Certification
After initial certification, an auditor from IFC Certification will routinely conduct ongoing visits to your company to see whether the product, process or system still meets the requirements and still warrants the certificate.
