The duration of the assessments can vary significantly and depends on various factors, such as the size of your company and the number of company locations. If the company is of average size, 2-3 days on site are sufficient for the assessment procedure itself. What may take more time, however, is the preparation for the assessment. The assessment or audit should only be carried out if you fulfill the TISAX requirements from the VDA-ISA questionnaire. Otherwise, you will not pass the audit and will not receive a label. There is a risk that you will have to undergo a follow-up audit, which in turn involves additional costs. The preparation and examination process can take up to 8 - 12 months. The examination process itself must not take longer than 9 months from registration, otherwise you will not receive a label. Therefore, sufficient preparation for the assessment is crucial!
