Complaint resolution
The client has the right to submit a complaint/appeal only in writing. All complaints/appeals will be registered in the Non-Conformity Register. Immediately after receiving the complaint/appeal, a confirmation will be sent to the complainant/appellant. The complaint/appeal will then be assessed for its validity and resolved as quickly as possible.
All complaints/appeals will be handled constructively, impartially, and in a timely manner. The decision regarding the complaint/appeal, which is presented to the complainant/appellant, will be prepared, reviewed, and approved by individuals who have not been previously involved with the subject of the complaint/appeal. In cooperation with the client or complainant/appellant, it will be determined whether and to what extent the subject and resolution of the complaint/appeal can be disclosed.
An official confirmation of the completion of the complaint/appeal process will be provided to the complainant/appellant as soon as a decision is made or an action is taken, but no later than 30 (thirty) calendar days from the receipt of the complaint/appeal. If it is not possible to resolve the complaint/appeal within the prescribed time frame, the complainant/appellant will be notified of the extension of the process.
If the complainant/appellant agrees with the decision or action taken, it will be implemented. If the complainant/appellant does not agree with the decision, the complaint/appeal will remain open and be referred for resolution to the Impartiality Committee, or if the parties do not reach a mutual agreement, the complaints/appeals will be resolved in accordance with the applicable legislation.
The 3 years transition period to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 standards will expire in September, 2018. Therefore the certificates issued on the basis of the previous standard will be obsolete from this date. The organizations certified by ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 standard have now to hurry with the transition procedures to avoid waiting until the last minute.
If you are ready for the transition to new standards please let us know and let’s agree about the audit time.
