34 questions shown
01Which service should my organisation choose?

Choose ISO Certification when you need an independent assessment of a management system against a named standard. Choose Inspection when you need an independent examination of a product, project, supplier, site or operational activity. Use the GHG route when the subject is a defined greenhouse gas statement, inventory, project claim or product footprint.

02What information should I prepare before making an enquiry?

Prepare your organisation name, contact details, the service or standard of interest, approximate headcount, number of sites, locations, current certification status and preferred timeline. Inspection and GHG requests should also identify the exact scope, criteria and intended use of the output.

03Can a consultant submit an enquiry for a client?

Yes. A consultant may submit an initial enquiry or help prepare the scope. The application should clearly identify the organisation seeking the service, the consultant’s role and the authorised contact for formal decisions and records.

04Can one enquiry cover several services?

Yes, but each service area should be described separately. Certification, inspection and GHG work follow different scope-review and delivery processes, so the request should state the required outcome for each service.

05What happens after I submit an enquiry?

The information is reviewed to determine whether the requested service, location, timing and scope can be assessed. The team may request clarification before preparing a quotation, application route or next-step recommendation.

06What is ISO management system certification?

It is an independent assessment of an organisation’s management system against the requirements of a specified ISO standard. The process normally includes application review, quotation, Stage 1 audit, Stage 2 audit and an independent certification decision.

07Which ISO standards are available?

The website presents common routes such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 22000, ISO 50001, ISO 22301 and ISO 37001. Availability and accreditation coverage should be confirmed for the exact standard, sector and location before application.

08How is the audit duration determined?

Audit duration depends on factors such as the selected standard, employee count, number of sites, activities, shifts, complexity, existing certifications and the proposed audit method. Accurate application information is required before duration and quotation can be confirmed.

09What is the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2?

Stage 1 reviews readiness, system design, key documented information and the organisation’s preparation for the full assessment. Stage 2 evaluates implementation and effectiveness across the agreed certification scope.

10Can audits be conducted remotely?

Remote activity may be possible for selected audit tasks where the applicable rules, risk, technology and scope allow it. The final audit method is determined during application review and may include onsite, remote or combined activity.

11Does certification end after the initial audit?

No. Certification normally continues through a defined cycle that includes surveillance activity and recertification, subject to the applicable certification programme and continued conformity.

12What types of inspection requests can be submitted?

Requests may relate to suppliers, factories, production stages, products, dispatch, loading, equipment, projects or sites. The exact inspection criteria and required report should be defined before scheduling.

13What should an inspection scope include?

The scope should identify the item or activity, location, quantity, inspection stage, drawings or specifications, acceptance criteria, required checks, reporting format, witness points and target date.

14Will the inspection report include photographs?

Photographic evidence may be included when relevant to the agreed scope and permitted at the location. The report format, evidence requirements and any restrictions should be confirmed before the inspection.

15Can TNV Global Limited inspect a supplier outside Italy?

Cross-border requests may be reviewed, but availability depends on the location, technical scope, inspector competence, timing and delivery arrangements. Submit the supplier location and required inspection date for review.

16Does an inspection guarantee future product performance?

No. An inspection reports findings against the agreed criteria and conditions observed at the time of the activity. It does not guarantee future performance or remove the responsibilities of the manufacturer, supplier or buyer.

17What is the difference between GHG validation and verification?

Validation generally addresses prospective assumptions, plans or projected outcomes. Verification generally addresses historical data or a completed greenhouse gas statement. The applicable standard or programme determines the exact terminology and process.

18Which greenhouse gas statements can be submitted?

An enquiry may concern an organisational inventory, project or reduction claim, product carbon footprint, or a statement prepared for a named programme, customer or reporting requirement.

19What evidence is normally required?

Evidence may include the final statement, reporting boundary, source data, emissions factors, calculation files, methodologies, estimates, exclusions, controls, responsible persons and records supporting significant emissions sources.

20Does the website confirm accredited GHG scope?

No. Website information explains the possible service journey. Any accreditation coverage, competence, assurance level and service availability must be checked for the exact statement and criteria during formal scope review.

21Can the same assurance process be used for every reporting programme?

No. Programmes can define different eligibility rules, assurance levels, materiality, evidence requirements and conclusion wording. The applicable programme documents should be provided with the enquiry.

22What is accreditation?

Accreditation is an independent assessment of a conformity assessment body against defined competence and impartiality requirements. The accreditation certificate and current schedule should be reviewed to understand the applicable activities and scope.

23Is every service shown on the website automatically accredited?

No. The availability of a service on the website does not by itself confirm accreditation coverage. Check the current accreditation schedule and obtain confirmation for the exact standard, activity, sector and location.

24What is recognition?

Recognition describes how a certificate, report or assurance output may be accepted or referenced within a particular market, arrangement, customer process or procurement requirement. Recognition should be assessed against the intended use.

25How is accreditation different from recognition?

Accreditation addresses the assessed competence and authorised scope of the conformity assessment body. Recognition addresses whether the resulting output is accepted for a particular purpose. Both questions may matter, but they are not the same.

26Where can I verify certificate information?

Use the verification route stated on the certificate or related formal documentation. For the recognition information referenced by TNV Global Limited, the contact strip directs users to global-aci.org. Contact the team when a procurement or tender requirement needs clarification.

27How do I begin a certification application?

Use the Apply page and provide the organisation details, standard, headcount, sites, existing certification history, preferred audit method and target timeline. Additional information may be requested during application review.

28Can an existing certification be transferred?

A transfer enquiry may be submitted for review. Eligibility depends on the certificate status, issuing body, audit history, outstanding findings, scope and applicable transfer rules. A transfer should not be assumed until the documentation has been assessed.

29What documents are needed for a transfer review?

Typical records include the current certificate, recent audit reports, nonconformity status, certification scope, site details and relevant correspondence. The exact document list is confirmed after the initial enquiry.

30Can I save an application and complete it later?

The final implementation of the Apply page will determine whether saved progress is available. Until then, prepare the required organisation and scope information before beginning the form.

31Where is the TNV Global Limited Italy office?

The Italy office is listed at Largo Alessandro Lala 16, CAP 80125, Napoli (NA), Italy.

32Which email should be used for Italy enquiries?

Use admin@tnvitaly.com for Italy-focused enquiries and website contact requests.

33Is this website a separate Italian legal entity?

No. The site is an Italy-focused informational and enquiry route for TNV Global Limited. The Disclosure page explains the website role and the relationship in more detail.

34Can international organisations operating in Italy use this contact route?

Yes. The Italy website is intended for Italian organisations, international organisations with operations in Italy and consultants supporting clients in the Italian market.
