Combined certification is a way to get your management system certified to multiple standards in one go.

For management system standards there are often a high degree of compatibility between the standards, although they cover different areas.

Many organisations chooses to build their management system into one integrated system, covering areas such as quality, health and safety, and the environment. By integrating several standards into one management system, you can eliminate duplication of work. An integrated management system will allow you to keep your documentation simple as you will not have to prepare a complete set of documentation for each individual standard. Whether you choose this integrated system approach or build paralell management systems to cover each area, all of your company’s critical areas can be evaluated and certified in a single combined certification audit.

Certifying your management systems simultaneously will save you time, effort and investment while increasing the effectiveness of your management system. DNV offers you a combined certification service designed to enable cost-effective and added-value audits throughout the certification process.
