This auditing system is based on global rules and norms, The system relies on multiple tiers of conformitssurance professionals and standards:
e-Stewards’ ANAB accredited certifying bodies are the organizations that certify your facility to the e-Stewards Standard —the defining step in becoming an e-Stewards processor. Once contracted, one of the four CBs, listed below, will independently audit and certify each of your electronic recycling facilities located within one country within the allotted time period of 18 months. Once you have contracted and scheduled with a CB of choice, a Stage 1 audit to determine your readiness will be performed, follwed by a Stage 2 audit to determine implementation. A pre-determined timeline to ‘close’ any non-conformities found will follow each audit, allowing opportunities for correction and improvement. Once all non-conformities are closed a, your CB of choice will issue your e-Stewards Certificate.
