An organization can upgrade in several ways:
As part of a scheduled Recertification Audit – which is
probably most efficient and least costly
Through the Continual Assessment process with
additional audit time
Through a special Transition Audit
Our auditors will be ready to perform gap assessments as
part of any assessment with additional time

UL DQS can audit clients to the FDIS and
issue Assessment letter reports which they
can use to recognize their conformance and
commitment to conform with ISO 14001:2015.
If an organization conforms to the FDIS UL
DQS will only need to perform verification to
the International Standard when it is issued.
