Confirm the flow
Site walks verify operations, storage, rework and outsourced steps. A confirmed flow is the starting point for assessment, not an illustration prepared afterwards.
Define decisions
Control plans specify checks, timing, responsibilities and reactions. Product safety differs from organic status. Shared records should distinguish release criteria.
Verify effectiveness
Staff need deviation and escalation rules. Effectiveness checks use observation and new records. Implementing required controls is not automatically the same as obtaining a private certificate.
What the project produces
The agreed scope includes a requirements map, prioritised actions, responsibilities, operating records and a readiness review. Deliverables are agreed before implementation. Existing documents are reviewed for usefulness rather than replaced automatically.
Evidence before the review
Prepare process descriptions, supplier records, traceability information and any open findings. Do not send sensitive files through the public contact form. The first enquiry should describe the operation; detailed document exchange is agreed separately.
Frequently asked questions
Does QAP issue certificates?
No. Certification decisions belong to the relevant authorised bodies.
What is needed to start?
Products, activities, sites, current records and your target date.
Can we work remotely?
Document work can be remote. Site-review needs depend on scope.
Does a template prove compliance?
No. Records and actual practices must support implementation.
Is certification guaranteed?
No. Assessment evidence and the certification body determine the outcome.
How is the advisory fee calculated?
Individually, based on scope, sites, available evidence and timeline.
