Transcript 

Good afternoon, and thank you for joining this webinar on transferring your certification to NQA. My name is David Quinn, Business Development Manager at NQA. Today, I’ll walk you through the transfer process, discuss our approach, and answer your questions.

About Me I’ve worked in certification for several years across client services, planning, and commercial roles. I’ve worked with multiple certification bodies and am qualified as a lead auditor in ISO 9001, with foundational knowledge in ISO 14001, 45001, 27001, and PAS 2060.

Agenda

Common Reasons for Transferring Certification

•    Poor customer service and fragmented communication
•    Inconsistent or frequently changing auditors
•    Unstreamlined audits for integrated management systems
•    Lack of value for money
•    Organizational changes, acquisitions, or tendering requirements

Our Approach

•    Competitive Pricing: Inclusive of UK/Ireland travel, with no extra management or logo fees.
•    Experienced Auditors: Over 90 full-time auditors, many triple-qualified in ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001.
•    Integrated Audits: We promote integrated management system audits to save you time and reduce costs.
•    Consistency: Assigning the same auditor to maintain familiarity and build relationships.

Transfer Process (6 Steps)

1.    Inquiry: Submit via phone, website, or email.
2.    Documentation: Provide latest ISO certificate, last surveillance, and last recertification reports.
3.    Review: We ensure no open major non-conformities or suspensions.
4.    Remote Transfer Audit: Quick Teams call (free if no major issues). On-site audit if issues are found.
5.    Certificate Issue: Issued after approval. No certification lapse.
6.    Ongoing Support: Future audit plan provided, and seamless service moving forward.
