Compliance Chain and Smas Worksafe have become new Recognised Assessment Bodies for the Common Assessment Standard as Build UK continues to support members to reduce bureaucracy in the pre?qualification (PQ) process.
With the data sharing solution enabling Contractors and Clients to obtain key PQ data from any Recognised Assessment Body, companies now have a choice of seven Recognised Assessment Bodies when seeking certification, minimising duplication across the industry. There are two levels of certification ? desktop and site?based ? and companies can apply to any one of the Recognised Assessment Bodies for the appropriate level depending on their trade, size and the requirements of their clients. Compliance Chain and Smas Worksafe are both offering desktop certification only and their products are called ‘Compliance Chain ? Gold Supplier Membership’ and ‘Smas Worksafe Pro’.
All Recognised Assessment Bodies are reviewed every year to ensure their competence, and the five existing ones ? Achilles, Constructionline, CQMS, SCCS and Veriforce CHAS ? have all successfully completed this process for another 12 months.
