It is important to choose a reliable third-party testing institution as a long-term partner. Previously, the China Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA) issued a notice on strengthening the supervision and certification of the certification monitoring market, sparking an industry census. Here, it is important to emphasize the importance of the "census". Previously, it was mostly spot checks, with a significant increase of 10 levels. When the announcement was made, many colleagues around me began to feel anxious and worried that they would be in danger. In the following months, news such as "certification bodies ordering rectification", "revocation of certification body qualifications: revocation of certification issued by the certification body", and "revocation of audit qualifications by a certain auditor" continued to spread.
 
Since the relaxation of registration requirements for certification companies, the number of certification companies has sprung up like mushrooms after rain in a few years, and has now exceeded 600. Faced with a plethora of certification companies, how should enterprises choose? We can make decisions from the following aspects.
 
1. Check the certification qualifications of the certification company
 
Check the official website of the China Certification and Accreditation Administration to see if there are any relevant records, especially for foreign institutions. Even if they are real institutions, they are not recognized if they are not registered in China. Regardless of whether it is a domestic or foreign institution, as long as it is legitimate and regardless of its strength, it must be traceable to the Certification and Accreditation Administration. Check the business license of the certified company, the certificate approved by the Certification and Accreditation Administration, and the certificate recognized by the National Accreditation Administration to see if the certification agency is operating legally.
 
2. Check the operating status of the certification company
 
Does the certification company have a legitimate office space and the number of audit experts? A certification company should also have at least 10 experts (as stated by the new organization). Whether the number of certificates issued by the certification company since its establishment (available on the CCAA official website, and the background reply certificate query of this official account can also be directly viewed) has increased steadily. Looking at the operating hours of the certification company, the Certification and Accreditation Administration conducts inspections three times a year. If you can pass them once or twice, it is luck. If a certification company can pass the inspection of the Certification and Accreditation Administration for a long time and remain strong, it indicates that the certification company itself has no problems.
 
3. Check the price of certification
 
In the Internet mode, the prices of almost all industries are transparent. With the fluctuation of the market, the authentication prices are only within a very small range. If the price offered by the certification company is significantly lower than the normal market price, the enterprise needs to consider it carefully. From the perspective of most certification agencies that have been revoked in the past few months, they all possess a characteristic of attracting customers at low prices, accumulating wealth on a large scale, and then being revoked and run away, regardless of the promises made to the company, whether it is crying or not.
 
4. Check the certification process of the certification company
 
A certification company conducts certification based on a strict certification process, including the number of auditors and scope of the audit. The specific arrangement of auditor days, whether there are first and second audits, and whether the certification company will arrange expert on-site audits. For enterprises, the direct solution is to look at the audit plan. Legitimate certification companies will send the audit plan to the enterprise before the experts enter for the audit. The audit plan includes the scheduling of the first and second audits, the arrangement of audit experts, and the contact of audit experts. Most unregulated certification companies offer low-cost certification. Since they are informal organizations, they naturally do not engage in charity activities. In order to save costs, they tamper with the audit plan.
