APPLYING TO THE STANDARDS
On this page, you will find all the information you will need to apply to the standard.
INTERGRAF ISO 14298 or INTERGRAF 15374?
We help you work out which standard is right for your company, according to your activities, certification needs, and requirements.
For more information on the scopes of each standard: ISO 14298 – INTERGRAF 15374
APPLICATION
Once we receive your signed and stamped application form, you will get access to our Intergraf Cloud platform, where you can send your application documents.
If you are a first-time applicant, you will then receive a first invoice covering half of the administrative fees. More information about invoicing can be found here.
Once we receive your documents, we will conduct an internal screening procedure.
RECEIVING THE STANDARDS
If positively reviewed, we send you the INTERGRAF Certification Requirements (ICR) and Implementation Guidelines/Normative Document to help you conduct a gap analysis. You then arrange an audit with the accredited certification body of your choice. First-time applicants will receive the invoice for the second half of the administrative fees.
OPTIONAL PRE-ASSESMENT AUDIT
Gaps in operations and processes can delay certification. We can carry out an optional preliminary check to better prepare you for your certification audit.
CERTIFICATION AUDIT
The certification audit is conducted. Your certification body evaluates whether you have successfully managed to comply with the ICR and sends us an audit report with a positive or negative advice.
YOU ARE CERTIFIED!
As soon as your certification body confirms that your operations and processes are free from major nonconformities, we issue an official certificate clearly outlining the scope of your certification and list your company as certified on our website.Â
To ensure continued compliance with the standard, a first control audit will take place in year 2, followed by a second in year 3. After 3 years, a re-certification audit must be conducted.
