The certification body workflow

Certification body management is the coordination of the people, processes, records, audits, decisions, certificates, clients, and quality activities required to operate a certification body effectively. CABflo is certification body management software designed around the operational needs of certification bodies and the requirements relevant to ISO/IEC 17021-1. It connects the complete certification workflow in one platform.

A complete certification body workflow typically connects: Client Enquiry → Application → Contract → Certification Planning → Auditor Assignment → Audit → Audit Report → Technical Review → Certification Decision → Certificate → Surveillance → Recertification CABflo connects these stages so that information remains associated with the correct client, certification cycle, audit, auditor, decision, and certificate.

This gives certification body management teams better visibility of what has happened, what is pending, who is responsible, and what records are available.

CABflo perspective

CABflo is certification body management software. It helps organise records and workflows across the certification cycle. It does not replace professional judgment, make certification decisions, or guarantee ISO/IEC 17021-1 conformity or accreditation.
