Suppliers and contractors are required to meet the compliance standards set by their customers, which can be as basic as showing evidence of insurances to evidence of full ISO certification.
We see three common levels of customer compliance requirements:
LOW
Key Policies around safety, modern slavery etc.
Basic Documents such as Emergency Management Plans, SWMS etc.
Insurances are sufficient and current
Licenses are sufficient and current
This level is often met by suppliers with internal costs only. Often providing evidence to their customers through portals such as LinkSafe.
MEDIUM
Self Assessment/Checklist by the supplier of the maturity of their management systems
External Assessment by the customer, or external auditor of compliance levels
Letter of Compliance by an Exemplar Global Auditor as evidence of full compliance
Once off audit
This level is often requires suppliers to engage external resources.
HIGH
Certified to a recognised management system standard/s
Jas-Anz Accredied external / third party audit body
Ongoing audit program
This is often the most expensive option but is also the most widely recognised option, allowing one audit to provide evidence to several customers. Organisations who become certified can use the ISO logos on marketing material and are registered at https://register.jas-anz.org/certified-organisations This level requires suppliers to engage external resources.
