The assessment process relies on taking a sample of the activities of the business. This is not statistically based but uses representative examples. Not all of the detailed nature of a business may be sampled so, if no issues are raised in a particular process, it does not necessarily mean that there are no issues, and if issues are raised, it does not necessarily mean that these are the only issues.
Terms and conditions
Please note that, as detailed in the Terms and Conditions clause of the contract (BGK6019186), clients have an obligation to advise LRQA of any breach of legal, regulatory, or statutory requirements and any pending prosecution. Although proportionality and scale of the situation should be considered, you are required to advise LRQA of any serious potential risks to our certification but not, for example, isolated cases of a minor nature.
