Certifying your management system in accordance with ÖNORM 2501

You define the scope of your management system (for example, sites or divisions) and submit an application for the ÖNORM 2501 certification.

The certification body uses your application as the basis for assessing the professional requirements and your organisation's readiness for the certification audit.

A comprehensive on-site audit is conducted to assess your management system's effectiveness and the extent to which you are implementing the requirements contained in the standard.

The certificate is issued following the successful completion of steps 2 and 3.

Your certificate is maintained on the basis of an annual monitoring audit.

A recertification audit is conducted every three years to verify the ongoing quality of your management system in line with the applicable standards.

Please see the certification scheme (only in German) for further information on content and the examination and assessment process.
