Services
Consulting
Standards and regulations change, markets open and close, and the cost of getting compliance wrong keeps rising. Our advisory teams help you work out which requirements apply, where you stand against them and what it will take to close the gap. Advice is kept strictly separate from our certification work so that our independence is never in question.
Where we can help
Typical engagements include regulatory road-mapping for a new product or market, gap assessments against a standard you intend to be certified to, supplier quality programmes and the design of inspection and testing regimes for large projects.
We also advise on the documentation you will need to support a claim, from technical files and declarations of conformity to the records that a regulator will expect to see during an audit.
- Regulatory and market-access mapping for products and services
- Gap assessments and readiness reviews ahead of certification
- Supplier qualification and supply-chain quality programmes
- Design of inspection and test plans for capital projects
- Technical documentation and compliance file reviews
Our approach
We start with the outcome you need, not with a standard. That might be entry to a new market, a customer requirement, a licence condition or simply fewer failures in the field. From there we work back to the requirements that matter and prioritise the work by risk and cost.
Engagements are scoped in writing with named deliverables. You will know what you are getting, when, and what it will cost before we begin.
Independence safeguards
Consulting and certification are kept apart. We will not advise on a system and then certify it, and we will not use advisory work to steer you towards our other services. If a conflict of interest could arise, we tell you and, where necessary, decline the work.
Why choose us
What sets our consulting services apart.
Practitioners, not theorists
Our advisers have assessed, inspected and tested for a living. They know what a requirement looks like in practice and how it is judged.
Clear scope and price
Every engagement is defined by written deliverables and a fixed or capped fee, agreed before work starts.
Conflict-free advice
Advisory work is firewalled from certification so that our recommendations serve your interests alone.
