What to check before deciding

Before certification, identify the destination country and authority because the certificate wording, translation, legalisation and originals required may differ.

How to prepare the matter

  1. 01

    Start with the real use case

    Identify who receives the document, data or system, where it will be used and which decision it supports before selecting a form or wording.

  2. 02

    Check requirements and traceable evidence

    Map authority, counterparty and internal requirements, recording the source and check date so updates can be made when rules change.

  3. 03

    Make the result usable by the next person

    Set the working version, approver, retention step and review list so the work does not end as an ownerless file.

Documents to prepare

  • The document or system to be used, together with the destination country or authority
  • Requirements, forms or emails from the counterparty or authority
  • The current draft and the reference documents now in use
  • The responsible person, approver and required-use date
