3 Easy Steps to Transfer Your Certification

  1. Step 1

    Contact our friendly sales staff who will collect the information required for a transfer. Either email us: sales@nqa.com or call us on 0800 052 2424 (option 2). NQA will issue you with a quotation for your transfer and ongoing certification.

  2. Step 2

    Once the quote is accepted, a Transfer Audit will take place either remotely or onsite. This will likely be conducted remotely unless you have outstanding non-conformities that have not been closed by your current certification body.

  3. Step 3

    NQA will issue a new certificate which is aligned to your existing certification dates, and will inform your current certification body of your transfer.

    Please note: the process for transferring IATF 16949 and Aerospace certification differs slightly - please contact us for details.
