Before requesting a third-party assessment, review the Evidence Checklist and prepare the supporting evidence required for the assessment.

Review the Evidence Checklist

  • The Evidence Checklist helps you understand which documents and evidence you need to prepare.
  • Complete the Evidence Checklist step on the Supplier Platform before proceeding with your assessment request.

Prepare your supporting evidence

  • Supporting evidence is not uploaded to the Supplier Platform.
  • Keep the required documents and records ready for your assessor.
  • The assigned assessor will have access to your completed Supplier Profile and Supplier to Zero self-assessment.
  • Provide the evidence directly to the assessor outside the Supplier Platform, following the arrangements agreed with your assessor.
  • The assessor will use your supporting evidence to verify each applicable performance criteria.
  • Ensure that competent and qualified personnel are available during an on-site assessment.
  • In case of an on-site assessment, facilitate access to the facility, records and products as needed for the assessment.
