Service Overview
Bureau Veritas offerings include:
‑ Second‑Party Audits: Based on your organisation’s proprietary standards, policies and procedures, Bureau Veritas conducts customised supplier audits to assess and verify that suppliers implement your corporate requirements — acting as an effective lever for supply‑chain management. Second‑party supplier audits are performed either in‑house or by certification bodies to evaluate suppliers’ operational competence against your product and service specifications.
‑ Australian Export Product Certification (S‑Mark, Code‑Mark): The S‑Mark is a key certification mark for product performance and safety in Australia and New Zealand, and also serves as a powerful marketing asset. It delivers competitive advantages and helps your products stand out in advertising, tender bids and sales proposals. Code‑Mark is a voluntary certification scheme for construction products; nevertheless, most buyers across Australia and New Zealand require Code‑Mark certification for market access.
‑ EXCiPACT™ Certification: A high‑quality, trusted international third‑party certification dedicated to manufacturers, suppliers and distributors of pharmaceutical excipients.
‑ PSCI Pharmaceutical Supply‑Chain Management Certification: The Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI) accredits only a limited number of independent professional bodies to deliver PSCI audits, and Bureau Veritas is one of these approved providers.
‑ RJC (Responsible Jewellery Council) Certification: Verifies responsible operations within your supply chain for diamond, gold and platinum‑group‑metal jewellery.
‑ SMETA‑AIM‑Progress (SEDEX) Supplier Assessments: Gaining full visibility over supplier performance is critical for supply‑chain governance. Bureau Veritas supplier‑assessment services foster responsible sourcing throughout your supply base.
