Why NDC
Faster, Easier, and More Efficiently.
Check your customer contracts, tenders and sector requirements before choosing a certification route. Keep accredited certification where it is required. Where independent certification is suitable, NDC reviews existing evidence and carries out its own non-UKAS audit. A successful certification decision leads to a new NDC certificate. Software can reduce repeated administration, but does not replace the audit.
Switch to NDC
NDC reviews your current certificate and latest audit report, then carries out its own independent, non-UKAS audit. A successful certification decision leads to a new NDC certificate. Confirm that this route meets your customer requirements before switching.
