Complete On-site Audit
SCS conducts an annual on-site audit. The audit includes physical inspection of the site, review of records, interview with personnel, and an exit interview. We prepare a Report of Findings after the audit is completed.
Certification Decision
SCS will review the inspection report, issue a certification decision, and inform the client of the outcome. Once granted certification, clients are eligible to license the use of the Bee Better Certified seal.
