Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about BESCERT services, processes, and delivery
General
What is included in the one-year consultancy assurance?
One-year assurance includes continuous technical support, surveillance audit assistance, digital system stabilization, performance guidance, document control support, and coordination with certification bodies. This ensures your systems remain effective and audit-ready long after initial implementation.
How are digital systems integrated into BESCERT services?
Digital integration is mandatory across all services. We deploy management software for document control and approvals, mobile apps for field data capture and inspections, KPI dashboards for real-time performance monitoring, and automated reporting systems that eliminate manual errors.
Does BESCERT provide certification services?
No. BESCERT is a consultancy and technical services organization. Certification is issued by independent, accredited certification bodies (such as BSI, LRQA, TUV Süd, SGS). We prepare your organization for certification by building audit-ready systems and coordinate with certification bodies on your behalf.
What does the 80/20 implementation model mean?
80% of our effort goes into practical, shop-floor implementation—training teams, integrating processes, and deploying digital systems. Only 20% focuses on planning and documentation. This ensures systems are used daily in operations, not just filed for audits.
ISO & API Services
Which ISO standards does BESCERT support?
We support ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environment), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety), ISO 27001 (Information Security), and ISO/IEC 17025 (Testing & Calibration Laboratories).
What is API Q1, and who needs it?
API Q1 is a quality management system standard for oil & gas manufacturing and service organizations. It emphasizes product realization, supplier controls, risk management, and traceability. EPC contractors, fabricators, and service companies serving the oil & gas sector typically require API Q1 compliance.
How long does ISO implementation take?
Timeline depends on your organization's size and maturity. Typical implementation ranges from 3-6 months for smaller organizations to 9-12 months for complex, multi-site operations. All packages include one year of post-certification assurance.
NDT & Welding Services
What NDT methods does BESCERT offer training and certification for?
We provide training and certification support for Radiographic Testing (RT), Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT), and Visual Testing (VT) at Levels I and II.
Are NDT examinations conducted digitally?
Yes. We use a digital examination system that provides instant results with full transparency. This eliminates manual grading errors and provides immediate competency verification.
Does BESCERT support welder qualification testing?
Yes. We provide welder qualification testing, WPS/PQR review and development, defect analysis, and technical audits aligned with international welding codes.
