Benefits for manufacturers
With the CIG Scheme, manufacturers enjoy the advantage of a single inspection visit conducted by a qualified CIG Inspector—rather than multiple visits from inspectors representing different organisations
Fewer on-site inspections
thanks to optimized scheduling and shared inspection
data.
Simplified internal processes
as one harmonized inspection scheme replaces overlapping procedures.
Local expertise
with inspectors who speak the local language and understand regional conditions.
Reduced travel and accommodation expenses
for inspectors.
