Timing and continuity
Review notice periods, document validity and planned sales. Confirm the sequence with both bodies to avoid a control gap.
Control history
Open findings, actions and decisions remain relevant. Advisory support is not intended to conceal issues or circumvent adverse decisions.
Labels and communication
Assess label, specification and customer-information impacts, including packaging stock. Do not automatically replace control codes on every lot.
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.
