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; a separate decision-maker who never met your auditors grants — or declines — 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

We work to ISO/IEC 17021-1 for certification bodies. Every certificate states its scope and normative basis, so its standing is never ambiguous.

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.

Global reach

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

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

Accredited and non-accredited scopes are distinguished on each certificate. The normative basis for each scheme is shown on its standard page.

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

A readiness review of your documented system, then on-site or ICT-assisted assessment of it in operation.

03

Independent decision

A decision-maker who did not conduct the audit reviews the evidence and grants — or declines — certification.

Audit duration is determined per IAF MD5. 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.

Once accreditation is granted, in-scope certificates are also published to IAF CertSearch — the global accreditation database.

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.
IAF MD 1·2·4·5
Mandatory documents governing audit duration, multi-site, transfers and remote auditing.
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.
GDPR · POPIA
Client and audit data protected across every jurisdiction we operate in.
Accreditation — UAF
Accreditation through UAF (under Global ACI recognition) is underway; scope will be shown on each certificate.
In progress

No accreditation is claimed until it is granted. Until then, certificates are issued on a non-accredited basis and clearly marked as such.

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 independent decision-maker who did not take part in your audit reviews the evidence and grants or declines certification. The audit team recommends; it does not decide.

How is the audit fee and duration set?

Audit duration is determined per IAF MD5 based on your scope, sites and employee numbers. 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. Transfers from another accredited certification body are handled under IAF MD2, subject to review of your current certification and audit history.

Are your audits on-site or remote?

Both. We deliver on-site and ICT-assisted remote audits (per IAF MD4), matched to your standard, risk and locations.
