Manufacturing
Certification audits that start on the production floor
Quality, environmental, safety and energy certification for makers of physical product, assessed at line rate by auditors who read a control plan as readily as a clause.
Explore the controls
The operational pressures the audit is read against
Your auditor works from the pressures your teams already carry, not from a blank template.
Customer audits and PPAP-style scrutiny
OEM and enterprise customers audit your systems directly. Findings threaten the relationship, not just the certificate.
Rework, scrap and warranty cost
Quality escapes are visible in the accounts. Root-cause discipline is the difference between recurring and resolved.
Safety across machinery, chemicals and logistics
High-consequence hazards demand controls that operators follow when nobody is watching.
Energy and environmental pressure
Utility spend, permits and customer carbon questionnaires all land on the same operations team.
Field view
Walk the site. Meet the evidence.
Scroll to move through one manufacturing campus, from the approach road to the roof. Every stop is somewhere an auditor stops and asks to see something.
Stop 01 / 04
One campus, four obligations
From the air it is one building. Up close it is quality promises, safety duties, environmental permits and an energy bill, each with its own audience. A combined audit examines all four in a single visit.
Standards that matter in manufacturing
Recommended by relevance to the sector's risk profile and customer requirements.
Certification services for this sector
Certification to ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 and 50001
Stage 1, Stage 2 and an independent certification decision against each standard inside your scope of certification.
Combined and integrated audits
Quality, environment, safety and energy assessed in one visit, so shared requirements are examined once rather than four times.
Multi-site sampling and transfer
Sampling across plants where the system is genuinely common, 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
Scope and duration set before the visit
Effective headcount across shifts and contractors, the processes inside scope and the risk category fix audit time by formula, not by negotiation.
Audited at rate, on the floor
Your auditor needs production running and the shift patterns in scope available, not a meeting room and a document pack.
Evidence sampled goods-in to dispatch
Records, operators, supervisors and in-process checks are sampled along the real flow and traced back to the control plan they claim to follow.
Findings graded, decision separated
Majors, minors and opportunities for improvement are reported within five working days. Someone outside the audit team takes the certification decision.
Sector evidence
Manufacturing examples will appear here only where a certified organization has approved publication in writing. CORE does not publish client names, audit findings or certificate details without that consent.
