Manufacturing
Manufacturers must show consistent process control, traceable materials and safe working practices. Buyers and regulators ask for documented evidence that quality and safety are managed, not assumed.

Industries
Assessment shaped around how your sector actually works
A standard reads the same in every industry; the evidence behind it does not. These are the sectors we assess, and the schemes most often in scope when we do.
Sector coverage
Where we audit
Each sector below lists the standards most often in scope when we assess it. Select one to see what its assessment involves; scope and cost are always quoted against your own sites and processes.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Patient safety and data confidentiality sit at the centre of this sector. Organisations must demonstrate controlled design, validated processes and lawful handling of sensitive health records.
Most often in scope
Technology & Software
Software organisations are assessed on how they protect customer data, manage service delivery and control change. Enterprise buyers increasingly make certification a condition of contract.
Most often in scope
Food & Beverage
Food businesses must evidence hazard analysis, supplier control and hygiene management across the whole chain. Retail listings and export routes usually depend on a certified management system.
Most often in scope
Construction & Engineering
Contractors must show competent site management, controlled subcontracting and recorded safety practice. Pre-qualification questionnaires and framework applications routinely require certified systems.
Most often in scope
Financial & Professional Services
Firms handling client money and confidential records must evidence information security, privacy controls and the ability to keep operating through disruption to satisfy clients and regulators.
Most often in scope
Logistics & Supply Chain
Operators are judged on consistency across sites, driver and warehouse safety, and continuity when routes or systems fail. Shippers ask for documented control of every handover point.

Tell us what you operateWhy it matters
What sector context changes about an audit
The clauses of the standard are fixed. How an assessor tests them against a cold store, a data centre or a construction site is not.
What your sector does not change
- The requirements of the standard, which are written to apply across sectors
- The evidence threshold a finding has to meet before it is raised
- The separation between the assessor who audits and the reviewer who decides
Evidence that fits your operation
Sector-appropriate records — batch traceability, change tickets, permits to work — are accepted as the evidence they are, rather than forced into a generic template.
Sampling that reflects your risk
Sites, shifts and processes are sampled according to where failure would actually bite, which is a very different map in logistics than in software.
Scope written to your sites and activities
The scope statement on a certificate names what was actually assessed — the processes, the locations and the shifts — so a reader can tell what it covers without asking you.
Integrated visits where standards overlap
Where the same processes carry more than one standard — quality and environment on a production line, security and continuity in a data centre — the visits can be combined rather than repeated.

Tell us what you run and where you run it. We will say which sites and activities an assessment would have to reach, and match the audit team to the work being certified.
