News Update from ADISA Certification. May 2022

Standard 7.0 is being withdrawn on the 30.06.2022 meaning that any existing member that doesn’t have an accepted Statement of Compliance by that date will unfortunately have their ADISA certification withdrawn meaning they will have their website presence removed and will have to remove all reference to being ADISA certified from their marketing materials.
With ADISA certification becoming mandatory in most newly released tenders its really important that current members have submitted their S0C into their auditor as soon as possible.

The ADISA audit team is extremely busy with carrying out the process of transitioning the current membership over to 8.0 and are pleased to have carried out 3 full audits against 8.0 to date as well as onboarding 12 new applicants. The team have 15 more dates “pencilled” in and have their final UKAS witnessed audit next week meaning we are hopefully on track to gain UKAS accreditation by mid July.

Once that is hopefully achieved, we will be able to release the awards for the companies who have been audited against 8.0 meaning they will be able to say that they are the first to hold certification to the ICO approved and UKAS accredited 8.0.

We are very proud to announce that Lisa Mellings, Certification Director at ADISA, has been nominated for the “Unsung Hero” Award at the CRN women and diversity channel awards 2022 . ADISA would like to wish her the best and congratulate her on this nomination. Lisa highlighted that she was surprised when she received the notification of the nomination and is pleased to have the opportunity to highlight the opportunities available to women in the ITAD sector.

On the 16th of June, 2022. ADISA Certification will be attending Wisdom EMEA, this event is a data controller event, where ADISA Certification will be presenting the benefits of using an ADISA certified member. It is a great opportunity for ADISA to meet us should any of you be attending the event and want to speak to us.
