Certification you can stand behind.

Logistics & Transport

Certification for networks that never stop to be audited

Quality, safety, environment, energy and continuity certification for carriers, 3PLs and warehousing, audited across depots, yards and the subcontracted capacity your promise rides on.

The operational pressures the audit is read against

Your auditor works from the pressures your teams already carry, not from a blank template.

Service failures cascade

One missed departure ripples through customer SLAs and penalty clauses.

Safety across drivers, yards and warehouses

Vehicle movements, manual handling and lone working concentrate serious risk.

Emissions scrutiny from customers

Shippers now score carriers on carbon as well as cost and OTIF.

Subcontracted capacity

Your promise rides on vehicles and warehouses you do not own.

Field view

Walk the network. Meet the evidence.

Scroll from the hub to the charging yard. Every stop is a place an auditor stands and asks the network to show its records.

One network, moving promises

Every trailer is a service-level promise with a clock on it. No audit sees the whole network, so depots are sampled and rotated across the cycle, and the central functions behind them are examined every time.

Certification services for this sector

  • Certification to ISO 9001, 45001, 14001, 50001 and 22301

    Stage 1, Stage 2 and an independent certification decision across the depots, fleets and warehouses inside your scope of certification.

  • Combined audits across the network

    Quality, safety, environment, energy and continuity examined in one visit, so a depot is audited once rather than repeatedly through the year.

  • Multi-site sampling and transfer

    Central functions every cycle plus a rotating sample of depots, and transfer of an active accredited certificate without restarting your cycle.

  • Pre-assessment, surveillance and training

    An optional pre-assessment that reports gaps without prescribing fixes, surveillance in Years 1 and 2, recertification in Year 3, and public training courses.

How the audit runs here

  1. Scope stated as sites and activities

    Hubs, depots, yards and warehouses are named in the scope, and the sample size for each cycle follows the accreditation body's multi-site rules.

  2. The auditor needs the operation live

    Yard movements, loading, driver briefings and night trunking are assessed while they happen, so visits are planned onto the shifts that matter.

  3. Subcontracted capacity is sampled too

    Third-party hauliers and warehouses are not certified through you, but your selection, requirements and monitoring of them are inside scope and get tested.

  4. Findings graded, decision separated

    A finding at one depot is assessed for whether it is local or network-wide. The certification decision is taken by a reviewer outside the audit team.

Sector evidence

Logistics examples will appear here only where a certified organization has approved publication in writing. CORE does not publish client names, network details or audit findings without that consent.
