Assess the conformity and effectiveness of the system and identify non-conformities.

Rectification and Re-verification: For identified non-conformities, the organization completes rectification within a specified period and submits evidence for review by the audit team.

Certification Decision and Issuance: Upon technical review approval, the certification certificate is issued, confirming that the organization meets the corresponding grade requirements. The certificate is valid for three years.

Surveillance Audit: Conduct a surveillance audit annually after certification (interval not exceeding 12 months) to confirm that the system continues to meet certification requirements.
