Postulate Company
An applicant company is the company that applies for affiliation with BASC USA, for which it must submit a series of documents, which are reviewed by a Certification Committee that meets once (01) each month. This Committee is the only body in charge of approving or disapproving the entry of the applicant companies.
If the applicant company is approved by the Certification Committee, it is notified by means of a welcome letter to initiate the BASC Certification Process, within a period no longer than 20 business days (after the Certification Committee has been completed).
The documents that must be presented by the applicant company are:
1. Simple letter, subscribed by the legal representative of the organization, requesting participation in the BASC system, indicating which scope you want for the certification and which premises you want to certify - letter model.
2. Send REGISTRATION FORMAT detailing all the information requested. Once the documentation is sent to the email of operations.bascusa@wbasco.org, you will be sent an email with the remains of the steps to complete the applicant process.
Company in Certification Process
Once the welcome letter is received to initiate the BASC Certification Process, the company is considered a "Company in Process", and has a maximum period of nine (09) months to implement the SGCS BASC and submit to the certification audit BASC.
Within the implementation period the company receives the initial visit, or also called "Initial Registration (pre-audit)" whose purpose is to evaluate the gaps that exist with the Management System in Control and Security (SGCS) BASC in the company in process. As a result of the initial registration, the company will receive a report on the compliance status of the SGCS BASC.
The company in process could follow the specialized training offered by the BASC USA Chapter, except for the following courses "Interpretation of the Standard" and "Internal Auditor" which can be taken after the initial Registration.
