Which Audit Do I Need?
First-party, second-party, readiness, mock, and prequalification support are different. Beyond Carbon provides consultancy and audit-preparation support. An independent certification body performs certification audits and issues certificates. Beyond Carbon does not issue ISO certificates.
1. Are you evaluating your own management system?
Points toward internal (first-party) audit support

Points toward supplier / second-party audit
3. Is the focus primarily contractors / site HSE–quality controls?
May prefer contractor audit framing

Points toward certification readiness / CB preparation
5. Do you want a simulated audit (mock audit)?
Points toward mock audit
6. Are you preparing for a customer or prequalification review?

Points toward corrective action review
