Audit scheme
Every distributor company in the Storage Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA), known as SDCs, are to be independently audited on quality in a new scheme.
All SDCs must be independently audited by external quality assurance company QCS International on 25 quality measures to retain their membership status. Every member who has passed the audit will be able to prove that their products and services meet the SEMA QA standard by way certification.
Every member will be reassessed every three years in two key areas; its process control of actual projects on the ground and proof of controlled administration including the correct insurance.
Companies must achieve 60% or above to pass and those achieving 90%+ are awarded the Highly Commended status.
