The application is the first audit.

Scope, sites, headcount, shifts, processes and outsourcing determine audit time and the audit programme. An application that understates any of them produces a programme that fails at Stage 1, so we ask for the real numbers here.

What determines audit time

These numbers determine the audit programme. Inaccurate figures are found at Stage 1 and the calculation is redone.

    The contracting entity

    This application is addressed to Global Energy Up, which delivers management-system certification services and owns the audit programme, the technical review, the certification decision and the certificate register.

    What submitting does not do. It creates no contract, reserves no audit date, and does not oblige the body to accept. The application review may end in refusal where the scope falls outside competence or where an impartiality threat cannot be treated.

    What happens next

    Four steps, and what each one needs from you.

    1. Application review. Global Energy Up confirms it has competence for the standard, sector and geography requested, and identifies any impartiality issue — including whether any part of the group has provided consultancy on this system.

    2. Audit time and proposal. Determined from the declared scope, sites, headcount, shifts and risk. Where the declaration and reality diverge, audit time is recalculated and the proposal changes.

    3. Contract and programme. Scope wording is agreed in the exact form it would appear on a certificate, and an audit team with no conflict of interest is appointed.

    4. Stage 1. Readiness is examined against what was declared here. Anything material that was not declared is raised at this point rather than after Stage 2.
