Suspension and Withdrawal
SUSPENSION involves the restriction of the Client to actively advertise or promote its certification of its Management System by Bureau Veritas Certification.
WITHDRAWAL involves the withdrawal from the client of Bureau Veritas Certification certification and the return of the Certificate (s) and Bureau Veritas Certification. WITHDRAWAL usually follows, SUSPENSION, when there is no evidence of effective corrective actions taken.
Suspension of the Certificate.
The Certificate of Approval may be suspended for a maximum period of three months. During the period of SUSPENSION, the client shall not actively promote or advertise their Certification registration. SUSPENSION enforced by Bureau Veritas Certification should occur after normal corrective action procedures following a documented non – conformity, have failed to fully resolve the issue.
The following are examples of reasons for SUSPENSION.
A major non-compliance is raised during a Special Surveillance, which indicates that insufficient action was taken by the client to clear raised non-conformities.
Improper use of the Bureau Veritas Certification logo has been discovered and has not been resolved effectively by the Client after notification by Bureau Veritas Certification.
The following are actions to be taken when a situation arises, which could result in SUSPENSION:
If the Client requested a SUSPENSION because of system change or deterioration that is expected to result in major non- conformities at the next routine Surveillance, Bureau Veritas Certification shall require necessary corrective actions and continuance of the Surveillance plan to document the actual situation. Following the visit the Client has up to 90 days to correct any documented non- conformities, then Special Surveillance may then be arranged.
Details of Certification granted, suspended or withdrawn & their validity can be made available on specific request, after verification of source requesting for such information.
