To achieve this, in addition to our permanent staff, we work with a flexible shell of “Freelance” employees who are familiar with conducting audits within the scope of our company.

Collaborations

If a customer has the need to have a single point of contact for the entire provision of external certification audits, DIfAM can take a leading role in this.

DIfAM manages contacts with several certification bodies for a number of customers.

Advantages of choosing this:

  • DIfAM has the knowledge of the market, certificates and the way in which audits must be carried out.
  • Where possible, (partially) combined audits are carried out, which means that the organization experiences a lower audit burden. The “High Level” structure is used for this, which is the same for a number of standards, with which a number of processes can be assessed simultaneously.
  • In principle, DIfAM works together with all other certifying companies.

DIfAM provides overall control for the following standards:
ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 55001, VCA, Safety Culture ladder.
