Once the organization has successfully passed certification, a certificate is issued. The subsequent maintenance of the certificate is then carried out through regular annual surveillance audits over a period of time:

• 5 years – when obtaining a national certificate

After the expiration of the certificate (at the request of the customer) recertification (recertification) of the environmental management system is carried out.
