Certification Support (Partner Model)
PDCA Solutions offers Certification Support (Partner Model) as your dedicated Canada-based preparation partner, working alongside accredited certification bodies such as SCANCERT to ensure a smooth, efficient path to ISO certification. We maintain full impartiality — we do not issue certificates or make certification decisions; our role is strictly supportive, helping you close gaps, strengthen your Quality Management System (QMS), and achieve readiness without compromising independence.
Key Support Components:
- Certification Readiness (Gap Assessment) — A thorough, risk-based evaluation comparing your current QMS against ISO 9001:2015 (or other relevant standards) requirements. We identify gaps in processes, documentation, leadership engagement, and evidence, delivering a prioritized roadmap with actionable recommendations to bridge them efficiently.
- Documentation & Implementation Support — Practical assistance in developing or refining essential QMS documentation (procedures, policies, records, work instructions) and supporting effective implementation across your organization. We guide you through risk-based thinking, process mapping, and integration into daily operations for sustainable compliance.
- Pre-Assessment & Close-Out Support — Simulated certification-style audits (pre-assessments) to test your readiness, uncover hidden nonconformities, and verify corrective actions. We provide detailed findings, CAPA tracking, and governance support to ensure all issues are closed out before your formal certification audit.
Benefits:
- Accelerated certification timeline with reduced risk of major nonconformities during the official audit
- Cost-effective preparation — avoid rework and multiple audit rounds
- Expert guidance from professionals experienced in infrastructure projects and manufacturing operations
- Full separation from the certification decision to preserve impartiality and credibility
- Flexible engagement: one-time gap/pre-assessment or ongoing retainer support
Ideal for organizations pursuing or maintaining ISO 9001 certification, especially in high-stakes sectors like infrastructure/construction and manufacturing where evidence-driven systems are essential. Partner with us to build confidence and achieve certification success through SCANCERT or your chosen accredited body.
