Project quality management system certification

Certification core content

The certification of project quality management system revolves around the formation process and results of project quality, and focuses on the following four evaluation projects, with clear weight coefficients:

Performance test: to check whether the key physical properties, technical indicators, safety performance and use functions of the project meet the design and specification requirements, such as strength, stiffness, durability and functional test results.

Quality records: the traceability documents of quality management in the whole process of the project, including the factory certificate of materials and the incoming inspection report, construction records, acceptance records of concealed works, acceptance records of inspection lots/sub-projects/sub-projects, quality rectification records, etc.

Allowable deviation: inspect the accuracy of project construction and installation, and check whether the axis, elevation, verticality, flatness and section size meet the allowable deviation range of the specification through actual measurement.

Perceptual quality: inspect the visual effect and craft fineness of the project surface, and check the smooth surface, uniform color, straight lines, tight joints, clean and beautiful appearance through visual observation.

Certification process

Project quality management system certification is usually divided into the following stages:

Application and acceptance: submit the application materials (business license, qualification certificate of construction enterprises, safety production license, system documents, self-assessment report with a comprehensive score of more than 85 points, etc.), and the certification body will conduct application review to confirm that the organization has the basic conditions for certification (the system has been in operation for 3 months, internal audit and management review have been completed, no major or above production safety accidents have occurred within 12 months before the application date, and it has not been included in the list of serious untrustworthy enterprises).

First-stage audit (document audit): conduct document audit and site preparation evaluation, review the conformity of project quality management system documents with standard requirements, and confirm the adequacy of second-stage audit preparation.

The second stage audit (on-site audit): carry out on-site audit, and audit the projects under construction or completed according to the Engineering Construction Quality Audit Form, including personnel interview, document record inspection, actual measurement of engineering entity quality, visual quality inspection, performance test data verification, etc., evaluate the compliance of the system and the achievement of engineering quality, and identify nonconformities.

Rectification and review: for the nonconformities found in the audit, the organization shall complete the rectification within the specified time limit and submit the evidence, which will be reviewed by the audit team.

Certification decision and certification: Certification certificate will be issued after the technical review is passed, confirming that the organization has reached the corresponding level requirements, and the certificate is valid for three years.

Supervision and audit: conduct supervision and audit once a year after obtaining the certificate (the interval shall not exceed 12 months) to confirm that the system continues to meet the certification requirements; The results of supervision and audit may lead to grade maintenance, upgrading (the total score is higher than the original grade) or demotion/revocation (the total score is lower than the original grade)

Re-certification audit: Re-certification audit is conducted before the certificate expires, and the certification qualification is extended, usually for three years.

Special audit: special audit will be initiated in case of major quality accidents, unqualified national supervision and spot checks, major changes, etc.

Certification value

Improve the level of project quality management: through quantitative evaluation indicators and process control, help enterprises systematically identify the weak links of project quality management, make targeted improvements, reduce quality hidden dangers from the root causes, and improve project quality stability and first-time acceptance rate.

Enhance market competitiveness: in project bidding, certification is a powerful proof of enterprise's project quality control ability, which can get extra points for bidding and increase the winning rate; Higher level certification (such as AAAAA) means that the enterprise has a leading quality management level in the industry.

Reduce quality risks: identify and prevent construction quality risks in advance, reduce the cost of rework and rectification, and safeguard the economic benefits and market reputation of enterprises; Avoid legal disputes and administrative penalties caused by quality problems.

Meet the requirements of laws and regulations: help organizations meet the requirements of laws and regulations such as the Building Law and the Regulations on Quality Management of Construction Projects, and systematically implement the construction quality regulations and standards.

Promote internal management upgrade: form standardized project management processes and work instructions, so that the project team has rules to follow; Improve the quality awareness and sense of responsibility of all staff; Lay a foundation for integrating other management systems (such as environment, occupational health and safety)

Set industry benchmark: High-grade certification (AAAA and above) means that the enterprise has become one of the "advanced ranks" in project quality management, and has a leading role in the industry.
