What must organizations do if they experience significant changes post-accreditation?

When organizations experience significant changes after receiving accreditation, it is important for them to notify DNV and potentially undergo a reassessment. This process is crucial because significant changes can impact the organization's ability to meet the accreditation standards set by DNV. These changes could involve alterations in operations, management structures, key personnel, or the introduction of new services.

By notifying DNV, the organization ensures transparency and compliance with the accreditation requirements. This step helps maintain the integrity of the accreditation process, as it allows DNV to evaluate whether the organization still meets the necessary criteria to hold its accredited status. A reassessment might involve a review of the updated processes and systems, ensuring they align with the accreditation standards.

In situations where organizations do not address significant changes or fail to communicate them to DNV, they risk jeopardizing their accredited status. Therefore, proactive communication and reassessment are necessary steps for organizations to uphold the quality and standards associated with their accreditation.
