Audit & consulting
To obtain A.G.G.E. certification, a facility and its operations are observed and analysed through a full audit. At every stage, A.G.G.E. auditors and consultants can support the facility.
The audit
Internal audit
The facility answers a set of questions covering all the structures and practices to be certified. The answers are analysed, then checks verify their consistency and accuracy.
External audit
The same audit is carried out on site by external auditors trained and accredited by A.G.G.E.
Remediation
Before, during or after the audit, A.G.G.E. consultants help the facility to correct the points that do not meet certification requirements.
