How we work
Viscount is a newer name than the practice behind it. The experienced and qualified professionals in the company have been providing certification services in the region since the venture began, and several clients we certify today have held certificates continuously since the early 2000s.
We assign auditors by sector experience. If you make ceramics, the person reviewing your process control has audited a kiln before. If you are a contractor, at least one audit happens on an active site while work is underway, because a head-office audit cannot verify that a permit-to-work system functions.
We audit in English and Arabic. ISO 45001 requires us to interview workers, so we staff audits to let non-managerial staff speak to an auditor in a language they are comfortable in.
We do not consult on management systems we certify. That costs us revenue, and occasionally the engagement, but our accreditation and the value of our certificates both rest on it.

Quality is not what happens when what you do matches your intentions. It is what happens when what you do matches your customers' expectations.
