FAQ
Frequently asked questions
An assessment comparing your current management system and manufacturing controls against a specific API standard, identifying every gap before a certification or monogram audit.
It depends on the gap between your current system and the standard. Most organizations need several weeks to a few months to close findings and build the evidence trail.
An internal audit checks your own system against the standard and your procedures. A vendor audit is conducted on a supplier, by their customer or a third party, to confirm the supplier's system and product meet requirements.
A quality manual, mapped procedures, and records demonstrating conformity: inspection, calibration, training, NDE, and traceability, plus evidence of internal audits and management review.
Yes. Document review, gap analysis, and training run remotely. Process verification and gathering shop-floor evidence require an on-site visit.
