A certification body refers to an organization that has the necessary ability to reliably implement the certification system and can objectively, impartially and independently engage in certification activities during the certification process.

That is, the certification agency is a third-party agency with independent legal personality independent of manufacturers, sellers and users (consumers), so certification is called third-party certification.

What is certification?


"Certification" refers to the activity of a third party that can be fully trusted to verify that an authenticated product or service meets a specific standard or normative document.

The role of a third party can be directly performed by a state or government agency, or by an organization recognized by the state or government. Such agencies or organizations are called "certification agencies." A certification body is an organization that can independently carry out third-party certification approved by the state.

What is the consulting agency?

The consulting agency is an intermediary service agency that provides assistance for the establishment and operation of the enterprise system. When companies have difficulties in implementing their own standards or lack confidence, they often turn to consulting agencies for help, and consulting agencies make profits by providing consulting services. The cooperation between consulting agencies and enterprises is a kind of commercial activity.

Most of the domestic certified companies hire a consulting agency to guide the implementation of the standard. An excellent consulting agency can not only help the company successfully pass the third-party certification, but it is also very helpful for the company to improve its own management level.

In order to ensure the impartiality of third-party certification, the state has banned the "consultation and certification one-stop service", and an organization cannot act as a consultant and auditor at the same time.

The following points should be paid attention to when choosing a consulting agency:


1. Comprehensive consideration of cost-effective consulting work is a business activity. When choosing a consulting agency, companies should not blindly pursue low prices, but should consider the quality-price ratio comprehensively.

A large part of the operating cost of a formal consulting company is the training expenses for the consultants; it has to pay high remuneration due to the hiring of high-quality consultants; and also needs to consider the quality of the consulting and some of the certification after the company is certified. other service.

If the quotation of the consulting company is very low, the quality of the consulting staff is often not guaranteed, and cutting corners in the consulting process will bury hidden dangers for the company in the future system operation.

2. Consulting agencies cannot provide certification services, and one-stop consulting and certification services are expressly prohibited by the state.

Many companies provide one-stop services for consulting and certification because they cannot correctly understand consulting and certification. Generally, consulting contracts agree to terminate when the company is certified. For companies, obtaining certification is only a preliminary stage of the company's implementation of the standard.

The service provided by the consulting agency is relatively short in time. The company imposes its expectations on the certification agency on the consulting agency and requires the consulting agency to make commitments beyond its capabilities (such as ensuring that the initial certification is passed, the requirements for the audit organization, certification costs, etc. ) Is undesirable. The certification contract and certification fee of the enterprise are directly negotiated with the certification body.

Consulting agencies can recommend certification agencies to enterprises, or estimate certification costs, but cannot undertake general contracting for consulting and certification costs.

How to choose a certification body?

1. The approved or accredited business scope of the certification body.
2. The service quality of the certification body.
3. Considering the company's own conditions and certification environment, consulting agencies can provide the most appropriate reference matching.

On September 30, 2018, the National Certification and Accreditation Administration of China issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Supervision and Certification of the Certification Monitoring Market". The certification industry started to rectify irregular institutions and found that many "problematic" institutions exist "Certification and testing chaos" problem.




"The certification body shall order penalties and corrections",

"The revocation of the qualification of the certification body, the revocation of the certification issued by the certification body of the agency",

"A certain auditor was revoked audit qualification"

These news continued to be heard in the next year. Among them: Beijing Zhonglian Tianrun, Beijing National Certification Inspection and Beijing Longxin Joint Certification, failed to escape the legal eyes of the CNCA, the original form was revealed, and the certification qualification was directly revoked.

Beijing Zhonglian Tianrun has always been regarded as the benchmark of the industry during its operation, and Beijing Guojian Inspection has issued 14,831 certificates in more than 3 years, leaving many old institutions a few blocks away. The previous Beijing Zhongding Hengchang Before its qualification was revoked, it was also a well-known certification body. After the qualifications of these institutions are revoked, the certificates of the enterprises can only be cancelled. The certification institutions ran away, but in the end they had to let the enterprises pay the bill, causing many enterprises to suffer losses.

In order to avoid such a situation when enterprises conduct system certification, they can judge and make decisions from the following four aspects when selecting a certification body:

01 Query the certification qualification of the certification company


First of all, we can log on to the CNCA’s official website to check whether the certification body has relevant filings. Regardless of whether the certification body is registered abroad or in China, whether the certification body is large or small, it must be checked by the CNCA.

02 Query the operating status of the certification company


Check the operating hours of the certification company, whether there is a regular office space, the staffing of audit experts, and whether the number of certificates issued since its establishment has steadily increased. You can also check the certification on the official website of the CNCA for bad records and violations.

In particular, whether it is a risk organization in random inspections, if the certification company can pass the inspection of the CNCA for a long time without problems, it means that the certification company has no problems.

03 See the certified price


In the age of the Internet, prices in almost all industries are transparent. As the market fluctuates, certification prices are only within a small range. If the price given by the certification company is significantly lower than the normal market price, the company has to negotiate.

Judging from most certification agencies that have been revoked in recent months, they all have such a characteristic. They attract customers at low prices, collect money in a big way and then are revoked and run away. It is the enterprise that will cry in the end regardless of the promise to the enterprise.

04 Look at the certification process of the certification company


According to the number of auditors and the scope of the audit, the certification company has a strict certification process, the specific arrangements of the auditor and the date, whether the first and second audits are conducted, and ask whether the certification company will arrange an expert on-site audit.
