The SCL product involves a 100% audit in Year 1, followed by a 40% audit in Years 2 and 3. You will receive a certificate with a step indication.
The certificate will be valid for three years provided interim audits show that you still meet the requirements for the step in question.
The SCL product is available for Steps 1 up to and including 4.
An interim 40% audit will take place in Years 2 and 3. If this shows that you no longer meet the assessment requirements, a 100% audit will need to take place within three months. The remaining 60% of the audit will be conducted in this situation.
If you no longer meet the requirements for the step in question, the certificate will not be valid anymore. However, you will be eligible for a new certificate, for a lower step, if you do meet the requirements for that lower step.
If you would you like to move up a step on the ladder in Year 2 or 3, a 100% audit will be necessary. If you meet the requirements for the higher step, a new certificate will be issued for that higher step. This certificate will be valid for three years.
The audit conducted will depend on the type of SCL product you want and also on the size of your organisation or organisational unit.
