Why Skyeblanc

Why organizations choose Skyeblanc

A certificate only carries weight when the body behind it is independent, competent and accountable. That is the whole of our remit: we audit against the standard, decide on the evidence, and stand behind every certificate we issue.

Independent by design

The audit team reports findings. An authorised and competent Skyeblanc certification decision-maker, independent of the audit activities being evaluated, reviews the evidence and approves or refuses certification.

Never consultancy

We audit your system; we never design, document or remediate it. Holding that line is what gives the certificate its meaning.

Operated to 17021-1

Skyeblanc operates within an accredited management-system certification framework based on ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 and the applicable scheme-specific accreditation requirements.

Publicly verifiable

Every certificate is entered in an open register with a live status — checkable by anyone, at any time, against the issuing record.

Competent auditors

Auditors are assigned on competence and impartiality criteria — qualified for your standard and sector, not the fastest close.

International certification capability

Initial, surveillance and recertification audits — delivered on-site and by ICT-assisted audit, across applicable jurisdictions.

The schemes

Standards we certify against

Twelve ISO management-system standards, each audited against a defined normative basis. Scheme scope is confirmed on each certificate.

View all standards

Certificates issued by Skyeblanc within its authorised accreditation scope are accredited. The applicable certification scheme and scope are stated on each certificate.

The process

How a certificate earns its seal

A defined, auditable path — the same for every applicant, with the certification decision held independent of the audit team.

Application & review

01

We review your scope, sites and standard(s), then confirm the audit programme and a fixed-fee quotation.

Surveillance & recertification

04

Annual surveillance confirms continued conformity; a full reassessment at year three renews the cycle.

The certification cycle
02

Stage 1 & Stage 2 audit

Stage 1 evaluates readiness, scope, documented information and relevant operating conditions; Stage 2 assesses implementation and effectiveness of the management system through audit evidence, on-site and/or ICT-assisted where permitted.

03

Independent decision

An authorised and competent Skyeblanc certification decision-maker who did not conduct the audit reviews the audit evidence and applicable certification requirements and approves or refuses certification.

Audit duration is determined using the applicable scheme and accreditation requirements. For QMS, EMS and OHSMS, applicable IAF MD 5 requirements are used together with the relevant accreditation and scheme requirements. Audit fees are fixed for the defined programme; certification is never guaranteed, and the decision is made independently of the audit team once the audit is complete.

Governance & standards

The framework behind every seal

Our certificates carry weight because the body behind them is governed — by international standards, mandatory rules and independent oversight. Here is what we hold ourselves to.

ISO/IEC 17021-1
Requirements for bodies that certify management systems — the standard behind every audit.
Accreditation & mandatory requirements
Applicable accreditation and mandatory requirements — including the relevant IAF transition documents and current UAF requirements governing multi-site certification, transfer, ICT use, audit time and other certification activities.
Impartiality committee
Independent oversight safeguarding every certification decision from conflict of interest.
Public register
Every certificate published with a live, verifiable status — checkable by anyone.
Privacy & data protection
Skyeblanc applies appropriate information-security and data-protection controls and complies with applicable privacy and data-protection laws, including POPIA where applicable and GDPR where applicable.
Accreditation — UAF
Accredited by UAF within the authorised scope. Skyeblanc operates as an accredited non-key location within the applicable UAF-accredited certification framework. The certification scheme and scope are stated on each certificate.

Accredited status. Certification is issued within Skyeblanc's authorised accreditation scope and under the applicable UAF accreditation requirements. No certificate is represented as accredited outside the approved scope.

Questions

Before you apply

Do you also help us prepare or implement the system?

No. As an impartial certification body we only audit and certify — we never provide consultancy, documentation or training on the management system we assess. That independence is a requirement of ISO/IEC 17021-1 and is what makes the certificate credible.

Who makes the certification decision?

An authorised Skyeblanc certification decision-maker, independent of the audit activities being evaluated, reviews the evidence and applicable certification requirements and makes the certification decision. Where the requirements are satisfied, certification is approved; where they are not satisfied, certification is refused or deferred as applicable.

How is the audit fee and duration set?

Audit duration is determined using the applicable certification scheme, scope, sites, personnel and accreditation requirements. IAF MD 5 is applicable to QMS, EMS and OHSMS; other schemes use their applicable scheme-specific methodology. Fees are fixed for the defined audit programme — but a fixed fee never buys an outcome.

Can we transfer an existing certificate to Skyeblanc?

Yes, where the certification is eligible for transfer and the applicable accreditation requirements are satisfied. Transfers are handled under the current applicable transfer requirements, including IAF MD 2 where applicable, subject to review of your current certification and audit history.

Are your audits on-site or remote?

Both. Skyeblanc may conduct on-site and ICT-assisted audits where permitted by the applicable scheme, accreditation requirements, audit programme and risk assessment.
