Certification Process

• Document Review: Evaluate the conformity of system documents with the GB/T 31863-2015 standard and confirm the readiness for on-site audit.
• Stage 1 Audit: Understand the basic situation of the certification applicant and the performance capability management process, identify potential issues that may affect the Stage 2 audit, and determine the arrangement for the Stage 2 audit. Stage 1 audit can be conducted off-site or on-site.
• Stage 2 Audit (On-site Audit): Conduct on-site audit, including personnel interviews, document record checks, production/service site inspections, verification of the effectiveness of performance capability control measures, evaluation of the conformity and effectiveness of the system, scoring on the maturity of performance capability management based on key performance goals and indicators, and identification of non-conformities.
• Rectification and Review: For non-conformities identified during the audit, the organization completes rectification within a specified period and submits evidence for review by the audit team.
• Certification Decision and Issuance: Issue the certification certificate upon technical review, confirming that the organization meets the corresponding level requirements. The certificate is valid for three years and can be verified on the website of the National Certification and Accreditation Administration.
• Surveillance Audit: Conduct a surveillance audit once a year after certification. The first surveillance audit after initial certification shall be conducted within 12 months from the certification decision date; thereafter, the interval between surveillance audits shall not exceed 12 months.
• Recertification Audit: Conduct a recertification audit before the certificate expires to renew the certification qualification, typically with a cycle of three years.

Certification Value

• Enhance Brand Performance Credibility: Strengthen trust from customers and suppliers in the organization's contract execution ability, highlighting the management advantage of "valuing contracts and maintaining credibility" in bidding, strategic cooperation, etc., especially suitable for industries with high performance capability requirements such as engineering construction and manufacturing, thereby enhancing market bargaining power.
• Strengthen Contract Risk Prevention and Control Capability: Certification can increase the organization's ability to prevent and control performance risks, and serve as an "objective and quantifiable evaluation factor" in bidding, government procurement, and other activities, earning additional points.
• Optimize Supply Chain Collaboration Efficiency: The system requires the organization to collaboratively manage performance capability with suppliers, using unified credit evaluation indicators and dynamic performance tracking mechanisms to drive synchronous improvement in contract execution levels across the supply chain, reducing chain risks caused by supplier default, and building a more reliable business ecosystem.
• Strengthen Social Responsibility and Credit Culture: Encourage organizations to extend performance capability into the construction of the social credit system, cultivate risk awareness among all employees, and foster an organizational atmosphere where "credibility benefits and breach is held accountable."
• Reduce Transaction Risks: Certification results can demonstrate the enterprise's performance reliability to transaction partners, reducing the risk of disputes during cooperation and protecting the interests of both parties.
• Optimize Internal Management: Promote process reengineering and system construction, improve operational efficiency, identify potential issues through regular reviews, and continuously enhance performance quality.
