MICROmega subsidiary NCA receives SANAS accreditation
MICROmega`s newly formed subsidiary NOSA Certification Authority ("NCA") has
received its South African National Accreditation System (Proprietary) Limited
("SANAS") accreditation. This enables NCA to provide accredited ISO 9001
(quality) and ISO 14001 (environmental) certification. Whilst the demand for ISO
certification continues to grow in South Africa, NCA will also benefit from its
ability to leverage off its sister company`s (namely NOSA) established
infrastructure and broad client base. Despite being a new entity, NCA`s
management team has in excess of 20 years experience in the certification
industry.
According to Craig Gordon-Bennett, Managing Director of NCA, "there is an
opportunity in the market for a certification company that is able to provide a
reliable and value added service." Gordon-Bennett commented further that most of
the certification companies operating in South Africa are international and are
therefore governed by the rules and regulations of their parent. This can make
the process cumbersome and inefficient, which will not be the case with NCA.
"NCA is pleased to be listed as a South African based certification provider
accredited against ISO 17021 and we are confident that we will provide thorough,
cost effective and timely ISO certifications that are in high demand by local
organisations", added Gordon-Bennett.
Greg Morris, Chief Executive Officer of MICROmega, stated "NCA`s SANAS
accreditation will now enable the company (when working in collaboration with
its sister company NOSA), to offer audits with multiple outcomes to suit the
specific requirements of the extensive and diverse client base that NOSA has,
thereby further entrenching NOSA`s SHEQ risk management footprint, while putting
NCA on the map."
In addition to providing ISO9001 and ISO14001 certification, NCA is also able to
provide OHSAS18001 (occupational health and safety) certification.
"Our objective is for NCA to become the market leader in certification and
training, using the very best industry knowledge and skills available," said
Gordon-Bennett. "To achieve this we commit to ensuring that our customers
receive professional and efficient service at all times". With established
offices in all major regions across Southern Africa, NCA plans to meet client
specific needs no matter how remote the location might be. "Furthermore, we can
assist organisations in transferring over to NCA from their existing service
provider at no additional cost," stated Gordon-Bennett.
