Resources
Tools for every stage of the certification cycle
Whether you are reading a standard for the first time, sizing the audit, verifying a certificate or moving one to CORE, start here. Where a resource ends and consultancy would begin, we say so.
- Standards guidesPlain-language guides to each ISO standard: what the standard requires, which organizations it applies to, and what being certified to it involves.
- Pre-assessment gap analysisAn optional audit-style review before Stage 1. We report where your system does not yet meet the standard; we do not prescribe how to close the gaps, because that would be consultancy.
- Certificate checkerPrototypeCheck whether a certificate issued by CORE is genuine and still current. A prototype interface: the certificate database is not yet connected.
- Find a consultantA directory of independent consultants, none of them CORE staff. We cannot implement the systems we certify, we take no fee for a referral, and using a listed consultant confers no advantage in the certification decision.
- Transfer your certificateMove an active, accredited certificate from another certification body. We review your certificate, recent audit reports and open findings, then continue your existing cycle rather than restarting it.

Tell us your standards, the scope you want covered, your effective headcount and your sites. You will get a scope statement and a fixed quotation, with audit duration calculated from the accreditation body's mandatory formula.
