About Certification Division
What Certification Division is all about?
Papua New Guinea Certification Services is a National Certification Body established and operated under the National Institute of Standards and Industrial Technology (NISIT). The establishment of PNGCES draws from the Institute’s mandated roles and responsibilities “to develop various conformity assessment schemes” under its National Conformity Assessment Infrastructure Framework. Through this establishment, the service operations and the service deliverables of the Papua New Guinea Certification Services, under its certification programs are administered through its certification schemes.
Certification Systems
As a National Certification Body, PNGCES is mandated to establish a Certification System. Under the Certification System, PNGCES is mandated to establish various conformity assessment schemes through which PNGCES can provide conformity assessment activities particularly the certification services to all organizations in PNG. Under the Certification Policy, its policy coverage mandate will include 3 Policy-Specific Deliverables:
Management Systems Certification
A formal, third-party verification that an organisation's management system (e.g., for quality, environment, or safety) meets the requirements of a specific standard.
Product Certification
A formal process where a third party confirms that a specific product meets defined standards or requirements, often involving testing and the issuance of a certificate or mark. This assures consumers and other stakeholders that the product is safe, reliable, and fit for its intended purpose.
Certification Standards Training
Educates individuals or organisations on the requirements of specific certification standards (like ISO 9001 or ISO 14001), enabling them to understand how to implement and meet those requirements for potential certification. This training often covers the standard's clauses, interpretation, and the audit process.
Certification Service Delivery Policy
Certification Service Delivery Policy is one of the key policies of PNGCES under its Business Plan. It is the corporate intention of PNGCES that PNGCES can offer and deliver third-party certification to organizations in Papua New Guinea. In articulating and defining the management and operational context of our certification service delivery policy, PNGCES has defined and established the “Certification System” which provides the overarching framework for the service delivery of third-party certification in Papua New Guinea.
