Policy for conducting remote audits in the SIC

Notified certification bodies

A. Notified Certification Bodies
Notified bodies carry out their activities in accordance with the rules established in the System. The integration of the SIC-PRO software provides access to a single database. It allows a notified body to register the issued certificates in an online registry of certificates, which contributes to the expansion of business opportunities and the establishment of close external relations, as well as allows interested parties (industries, market, business, regulators, etc.) to obtain reliable information about the suppliers of products and services. The registry also allows you to get live updates regarding the status of a certificate.

Notification

Notification is a procedure of the official confirmation of the organization’s (body’s) compliance with the requirements of the System of International Certification (SIC System) and the requirements of CASCO standards.

After successfully undergoing the Notification, certification body receives a Notification Letter, which acts as a confirmation of membership in the System of International Certification (SIC)

SIC allows its members to increase the level of recognition and trust of the certificates by allowing the certification bodies to issue certificates on behalf of the SIC. This means mutual certificate recognition between certification bodies and members within the System.
Every single certificate issued by the members of SIC must be registered in the secure online certificate registry.
