AUDIT METHOD. The first stage of the audit requires the Auditor to conduct an on-site readiness review of the client’s management system to assess the documentation and if the implementation of the management system is at a level sufficient to progress to the Stage two audit. When satisfied with the compliance of the documentation and system readiness the Auditor will produce a report and will agree a date with the client for the Stage 2 audit. The Stage 2 audit will then be conducted in accordance with ICMC accredited management system processes. If further visits are required, due to non-compliances found, these will be undertaken and the client will be liable for any extra charges incurred. In case of any Major Non Conformity recommendation for certification will be granted based on On-site Follow Up Audit. The audit will be carried out against agreed audit criteria. Once registration has been obtained the client will be under a duty to notify ICMC of any changes that significantly affect the registration. ICMC may re-audit if necessary (short notice) due to the significant changes or as a result of any complaint, or follow up on suspended clients. If any additional charges are incurred ICMC reserve the right to pass these additional charges on to the client. ICM Certification (P) Limited CERTIFICATION AGREEMENT & RULES
