JMS Register  acknowledge receipt of the signed quotation and agrees a date for the Stage 1 Planning /Readiness Visit (to assess the applicant readiness to be audited to the relevant Standard/s and also to plan for the Stage 2 audit.) On completion of the visit, a report is produced and issued to the applicant/client detailing the auditor’s findings and recommendations for the Stage 2 visit.

Following the Stage 1 Planning Visit, arrangements for the Stage 2 main assessment will be confirmed with the client and auditor by a JMS Register Customer Liason Officer. The Stage 1 report includes the Stage 2 audit plan.
 
STEP 6
The auditor conducts the Stage 2 audit to the agreed scope and assessment Standard. On completion of the audit, a report is produced by the Lead Auditor which details the auditor’s recommendations for certification.
