Running Your IMS After Certification
A practical guide to keeping a certified management system alive between audits. Learn what surveillance audits actually sample versus a recertification audit, how to keep registers and records genuinely current, how to run a management review that produces real decisions, how to keep the internal audit schedule moving and corrective actions closed, how to manage change before an auditor finds it first and the factual conditions under which a certificate can be suspended or withdrawn.
What You Will Learn
- Explain the three-year certification cycle and what a surveillance audit typically samples compared with a recertification audit
- Keep registers, records and evidence current between audits so the system is genuinely ready, not just certificate-day ready
- Run a management review that produces real decisions about resourcing, objectives and risk, rather than a box-ticking meeting
- Keep the internal audit schedule moving and close out corrective actions so problems don't recur
- Manage change to people, sites, plant and processes, and describe the factual conditions under which a certificate can be suspended or withdrawn
