The situation with regards to the coronavirus disease COVID-19 outbreak is evolving rapidly. With the safety and wellbeing of our clients and colleagues our highest priority, we would like to inform you about our plans as your Certification Body during this global health issue.
Taking into consideration the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, we have reviewed our processes and put in place a contingency plan, the objective being to minimize the risk to BQC clients and colleagues whilst maintaining accreditation requirements and mitigating potential global trade risks.
We have decided to proceed with a combination of remote and deferred audits depending on the type of visit and associated risk. As our auditors are allocated to audits based on their expertise and occasionally travel internationally to perform an audit, any health threats in their country of origin must also be considered. Our contingency plan has been shared with regulators/Accreditation Body and is aligned with IAF ID3:2011.
Affected clients will be contacted to arrange suitable alternatives to schedule on-site audits according to BQC Policy on affected by Coronavirus Covid-19. During the period preceding any rescheduled visits, clients should contact BQC and inform us immediately of any potential issues, such as temporary closure of sites, which may prevent delivery of the audit.
Please e-mail any queries to info@bqc.gr, quoting your certificate number to help us identify and support you.
Warm regards,
