OCEANSAFE.ORG in the forefront of these processes!       The inspection process begins with a manufacturer's submission of its compliance plan to Oceansafe Registry certifying company. An accredited certifier then performs a preliminary plan review to determine potential areas of non-compliance.  After addressing such issues with the manufacturer, the inspector arranges an on-site audit. While on site, the inspector confirms records, operating procedures and manufaturer's designs. When the certifier is satisfied that any non-compliance issues have been corrected, a recommendation for formal program certification is submitted to Oceansafe Registry. - JOURNAL NEWS - Nobel Prize (Nobel: Environmental) to Dr. in Kenya - she has been instrumental in reforestation projects in Africa "first in Florida Keys News"©  is a Premier Contributor to OCEANSAFE.org          SEAL OF REGISTRY Certification and Label License       To complete the program, the Oceansafe Registry Certification Committee reviews the recommendation and, if it is in order, issues a three-year Responsible Registry certificate with a registration number.

OCEANSAFE REGISTRY AUDIT SERVICES / DETERMINATION OF "SAFE" PROCESSES This site offers internal audit services, vendor survey audits, and pre assessment audits. Audits are performed by professional auditors and auditors who work under contract for registrars. Why might a company want to have a professional auditor perform audits for them?               Outsourcing is more cost effective and convenient. Staff time is not available to perform audits. Audit team members have left the company; assistance is needed to do regular audits. Professional auditors have more experience than in-house auditors. A complete audit is needed prior to a registration audit or a surveillance audit by a registrar. The company wants a professional audit of a supplier company. The company wants in-house auditors to observe how a professional auditor performs an audit.                                                       Internal Audit Services                       Oceansafe Registry Checklist represents the services of professional auditors who perform internal audits of Oceansafe Registry  systems. You may request contract auditing services (all your audits done for you) or single audits. Training audits are also available where members of your audit team observe a professional auditor and are coached in audit techniques. Pre Assessment Audits A pre assessment audit is a complete audit of the quality system to determine readiness for a registration audit by a registrar. Pre assessment audits offered by this site are followed by a meeting with company management. Nonconformances to the requirements of the Oceansafe Registry system and the company's documentation are reviewed. Pre assessment audits provided by this site include consultation on how to correct each nonconformance. Subcontractor / Vendor Survey Audits                                                                           This site offers the services of professional auditors to perform subcontractor surveys. Subcontractor survey audits are also referred to as vendor audits and supplier audits. Oceansafe Registry system standards state that a company "shall evaluate and select subcontractors on the basis of their ability to meet subcontract requirements including the quality system and any specific quality-assurance requirements." Many companies qualify their key subcontractors by performing an audit of the subcontractor's quality system. Companies that completely outsource their manufacturing may want to use the services of a professional auditor to qualify contract manufacturers.
