How to certify your Call Center services

1. Application for certification by the service provider.
2. The applicant must present written documentation of the fulfillment of the requirements of the applicable ÖNORM. This documentation must contain information about internal procedures,  equipment as well as employees.
3. The certification body appoints 2 auditors.
4. The auditors inspect the work done at the call-center. Central points of these audits are - besides the testing of the technology and documents - interviews with a number of call-center-agents. 
5. After  successfully completing the steps 1-3, the applicant obtains a certificate with the authorization to carry the mark of conformity called "ON Certified Service." The certificate is  valid for six years, as long as the requirements for the maintenance of the certificate are fulfilled.
6. Re-audit in a two-year cycle, to verify the effective and universal quality of the service.
