Bluestar Certifications Management Inc. (BluestarCMI) facilitates ISO certification services in the Philippines through its authorized partner certification bodies. Here's how the process works:

1️⃣ Request for Quotation (RFQ)

Organizations may request a quotation by submitting the RFQ form, indicating:

• Desired ISO standard (e.g., ISO 9001, ISO 14001, etc.)
• Scope of certification (e.g., departments, business processes)
• Number of employees and locations involved

📩 The cost estimate will be provided based on the complexity and scope, and sent to the client via the email listed in the RFQ.

2️⃣ Contract Signing & Certification Agreement

• Review BluestarCMI's terms and conditions as a certification facilitator
• Sign a formal agreement covering coordination procedures, fees, and certification timelines
• Confirm audit schedules and payment terms with the accredited partner CB

3️⃣ Stage 1 Audit – Documentation Review

An auditor assigned by the accredited CB reviews your management system documents, assessing alignment with ISO requirements. 📌 If any gaps or non-conformities are identified, you'll be asked to address them before Stage 2.

4️⃣ Corrective Actions & System Improvements

• Organizations address all non-conformities identified during Stage 1
• Implement necessary system changes or improvements before moving to the next phase

5️⃣ Stage 2 Audit – On-Site Assessment

Accredited CB auditors conduct an on-site evaluation to verify implementation of your management system:

• Interviews with staff
• Review of operational records
• Observation of key processes

📌 Major non-conformities must be resolved before certification is finalized.

6️⃣ Certification Decision & Certificate Issuance

• The accredited CB reviews audit findings
• If compliant, they issue the ISO certificate
• 📄 Certificates are valid for three years, subject to annual surveillance audits

7️⃣ Surveillance Audits

• Conducted annually by the accredited CB
• Verify continued conformance and drive continual improvement
• Findings may prompt corrective actions or enhancements

8️⃣ Recertification (After 3 Years)

• A full audit is performed by the CB to renew the certification
• Follows a similar process as initial certification

💬 Note: All certification decisions and services are performed exclusively by the accredited CBs we represent.
