Survey

Certification companies primarily focus on assessing and certifying products, systems and processes, A CERT offers surveying services, particularly in relation to specific industry standards or regulations. However, these services are typically not the core competency of certification companies and are often provided in conjunction with their primary certification activities.

One area where certification companies may offer surveying services is in the realm of facility and infrastructure assessments. This could involve conducting compliance audits to ensure facilities and infrastructure adhere to relevant standards, regulations, and client-specific requirements. Such audits might assess safety hazards, environmental impact, and adherence to industry best practices. Additionally, certification companies may perform energy audits to evaluate energy consumption and efficiency within facilities, identifying potential areas for improvement and recommending energy-saving measures. Security audits are another potential service, where certification companies could assess security measures and protocols to identify vulnerabilities and recommend enhancements.

In the realm of product and process assessments, certification companies may conduct supplier audits to evaluate suppliers’ facilities and processes to ensure they meet quality, safety, and environmental standards. They may also perform product inspections to verify product quality, conformity to specifications, and adherence to regulatory requirements. Furthermore, certification companies could assess the effectiveness and efficiency of manufacturing processes through process audits, identifying opportunities for improvement.

Finally, some certification companies may offer social and environmental audits. Social audits evaluate a company’s social performance, including labor practices, working conditions, and community engagement. Environmental audits, on the other hand, assess a company’s environmental impact and compliance with environmental regulations.

It’s important to note that the specific surveying services offered by A CERT may vary depending on its expertise, accreditation, and the needs of its clients. While these services can be valuable, especially when integrated with certification activities, it’s advisable to consult with specialized surveying companies for comprehensive and in-depth surveys, particularly for complex projects that require a high level of technical expertise and specialized equipment.
