No grant found when checked - Non-grant engagement
We did not find this standard on the EDGE Standards list when we checked. Ask us about non-grant options or other schemes that may apply.
Impartiality
Impartiality comes first. Every engagement begins with a conflict-of-interest check. We keep consulting and auditing roles separate, and our auditors never audit, on behalf of a certification body, an organisation that ICFC has consulted on the same scope within the period set by that body.
Our certification role
We do not certify organisations ourselves; certificates are issued by accredited certification bodies or scheme owners.
How we help
Third-party audits
Third-party certification audits for SS 620 are delivered by our auditors on behalf of accredited certification bodies. The certificate is issued by the certification body, not by ICFC.
Second-party audits
Supplier and partner audits against SS 620 on behalf of your organisation, with clear findings you can act on.
Internal audits
First-party internal audits of your good distribution practice for medical devices by experienced auditors, combinable with other standards in one integrated audit.
Funding
We explain which scheme, if any, applies and what it requires before you commit.
Non-grant
A fixed-scope engagement: gap assessment, documentation, implementation coaching, internal audit and management review, and support through the formal audit or assessment.
How we work
Practical, proportionate systems that your staff can run after we leave.
