Certification International has been providing Quality Management System certification audit since year 1995 and it is accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) & Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC).

The development of national and global economic policies, increasingly stringent legislation and other measures to foster environmental protection, is becoming a key factor in the global marketplace.

The environmental management system (EMS) standard ISO 14001 has been designed to help organizations establish and maintain a system of management to achieve sustainable business development through continuous improvement in environmental performance.

Certification International is accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) to provide ISO 14001 certification to organizations that fall within the industrial and commercial sectors.

Certification International is accredited by the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) to provide certification to SS506: Part 1 & 3 / OHSAS 18001 certification. The occupational health and safety [OHS] management system specification SS506:Part 1/OHSAS 18001 has been designed to help organizations establish and maintain a system of management to improve the welfare, health and safety of employees at the workplace.

SS506:Part 1/OHSAS 18001 specification is accepted throughout the world and has been developed to be compatible with ISO 9001:2008 (Quality) and ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental) management systems.

CI is undergoing accreditation process to offer accredited OHSAS certificate under United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).

According to SPRING Singapore website, Occupational Safety and Health or OHS is a key concern for chemical and process industries as these industries intrinsically carry higher risks and handle hazardous materials. An effective OSH management system enables these industries to manage their OHS risks and prevents accidents which could have a great impact on business continuity, business opportunities and customers’ confidence.

SS506: Part3 was developed by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the Association of Process Industry (ASPRI), Association of Safety Auditing Firms, representatives from chemical companies, their contractors and service providers, and safety consultants and published by SPRING Singapore.

With SS506: Part3, organisations would be able to satisfy the requirements of both the OHSAS 18001 and the mandatory SMS in one single audit instead of dual audit by preparing their OHS management systems according to the standard. This cuts cost and saves time and resources spent on auditing.

With the greatest emphasis given to OHS in meeting statuary and regulatory requirements, CIS has applied to SAC to seek accreditation in SS506 Part 1 & 3. We have cleared SS506 Part 1 & 3 system audit in September 2007. We are ready to carry out SS506 Part 1 & 3 audit in the event that your company wishes to seek this certification.

We are an approved WSH Auditing organization by MOM thus be able to carry out WSH audit for your organization.

Manufacture of Food Safety based on HACCP (SAC HACCP Doc 2)
According to SPRING Singapore’s marketing letter, there was no recognized national body in Singapore that could ensure that the HACCP certificates issued by certification bodies were of good standing.  Any certification body can claim that it is qualified to certify food companies for HACCP.

To address this issue, the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC), introduced the “SAC Accreditation Scheme for HACCP Certification”. The accreditation scheme is managed by SPRING Singapore.  CIS is the first certification body to obtain SAC HACCP Document 2 Accreditation (Management of Food Safety based on HACCP) in March 2007. 

SAC HACCP Document 2 standard is especially developed for food manufacturers and F&B organisations. AVA and SPRING strongly encourage these organisations to adopt a formal management system to address the hazards encountered in the process of manufacturing and service of food related product. It ensures a balanced holistic approach is carried out by the organisations which means adequate control of facilities, sanitary and hygiene and process control are well managed to bolster food safety. Subsequently, it creates consumer confidence at large.

Certification International is accredited by the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) to provide certification to HACCP.

Food Safety Management System (ISO 22000:2005)
CIS through CI (UK) is now able to provide Food Safety Management System (FSMS) Certification for organizations operating within the food chain. The schemes available are an accredited ISO 9001 : 2008 scheme incorporating HACCP principles and a scheme for ISO 22000 : 2005.

ISO 22000 : 2005 is a standard designed for organizations participating in the direct production and handling of safe food. It potentially applies to the whole food chain and therefore can cover a wide range of activities.

The applicability of ISO 22000 : 2005 will depend on the coverage of the standard and essential food safety principles, guides and regulations.

Applicants therefore have a choice to extend an existing QMS to incorporate HACCP, upgrade it to ISO 22000, or make an application without a previous QMS registration.

Certification International is accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) to provide certification to ISO 22000.

Certification International is accredited by the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) to provide certification to SS524.
