The CB will be your point of contact throughout the entire process of certification, from the beginning to the final labeling and communications.<\/li>\n<li>Fill out the application form from the CB and submit. Applying with more than one CB allows you to compare estimates.<\/li>\n<li>After receiving your completed application, the CB will prepare an offer including price and timing estimates.<\/li>\n<li>After the offer is accepted, you\u2019ll be asked to sign a contract with the CB. Typically, a contract is valid for one year and will need to be renewed afterwards.<\/li>\n<li>The CB will send an auditor to review documents and procedures against the requirements of the standard. Make sure to read the standard and prepare the relevant documents and staff beforehand. Preparation can reduce certification costs by saving auditing time.<\/li>\n<li>The results of the audit will be sent to the CB\u2019s office in an audit report. Another person will review them and make a final certification decision. If non-conformities (NC) are noted, you\u2019ll be given a corrective action plan. All NCs have to be closed for a scope certificate (SC) to be issued.<\/li>\n<li>After successfully meeting all requirements of the standard, an SC will be issued.<\/li>\n<li>CBs may conduct unannounced inspections to check that you\u2019re still conform with the standards.<\/li>\n<li>Following the shipment of certified goods to the given standard, contact your CB to apply for a transaction certificate (TC).
