Your assigned lead auditor will want to discuss your expected timing for the required certification activities such as
document review and the initial assessment. He/she will need to know if you have elected to have a pre-assessment.
Your assigned lead auditor could be “booked” as far ahead as 3 to6 months
or more. It is a good idea to “reserve” time on their schedule that is realistic and achievable.
Should you cancel a scheduled time without ample notice, your assigned lead auditor may or may not be able to
accommodate your needs. In that case, another lead auditor may be assigned to your account.
There are 3 basic steps to a certification process and they are:
✓ Document review.
✓ Initial Assessment.

Once the recommendation is accepted by the Certification Panel
team you could expect your formal certificates in about 7 to 12 working
days, which is approximately 2 weeks from the initial audit.
