Additional services
In addition to certification audits, Metrosert offers all organisations the opportunity to avail of initial or further assessment of their management systems. Assessment may be necessary for a company that develops its management system and wishes to obtain an assessment of its conformity with the desired management system standard or other normative document. Assessment is not mandatory; however, it helps prevent more common errors in management systems and provides assurances with regard to the efficiency of the management process.
We are also available to conduct internal audits of various management systems, but not for organisations certified by AS Metrosert.
We offer public training and training ordered by companies in the area of management systems.
