Certification of contractors of designated constructions
How is the contractor certified?
Certification of contractors of designated structures is a key process that verifies that contractors have a contractor management system for reserved structures in place.
For certification, valid ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management) and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety management) certificates must be submitted.
The certification process involves several stages:
1/ Initial audit
The applicant shall submit an application to the certification body for audit and certification. Our auditors will carry out an assessment of its processes and capabilities in order to carry out the audit.
2/ Conformity assessment
Based on the findings of the audit, the certification body will assess whether the contractor meets the qualification requirements for designated structures.
3/ Award of the certificate
After a successful audit and meeting all the requirements, the contractor receives a certificate that allows him to carry out the designated constructions.
