ISO-14001

To be ISO 14001 certified, Ausek must undergo a formal assessment process. The assessment typically involves the following steps:

1. Prepare for the assessment: The company must establish an environmental management system (EMS) that meets the requirements of the ISO 14001 standard. This includes developing policies and procedures, setting goals and objectives, and documenting processes.

2. Request an assessment: The company must request an assessment from a third-party certification body, which is an independent organization that has been accredited to conduct ISO 14001 assessments.

3. Self-assessment: The company must conduct a self-assessment of its EMS to verify that it meets the requirements of the ISO 14001 standard.

4. On-site assessment: A team of assessors from the certification body will visit the company's facility to observe operations and verify that the EMS is being implemented as documented. The assessors will also review documentation and interview employees to ensure that the EMS is effective and that the company is meeting the requirements of the standard.

5. Report and decision: The certification body will prepare a report detailing the results of the assessment. If the company meets the requirements of the ISO 14001 standard, the certification body will issue a certificate of conformity. If the company does not meet the requirements, the certification body will provide feedback and guidance on how to improve.

The assessment process is typically conducted every three years, with annual surveillance audits to ensure that the company is maintaining its EMS and meeting the requirements of the standard.
