Component Seven : Costs of Undertaking Quality Assurance Audits/Certification Programmes

The aims of this component are to help applicants to:

  • improve their quality standards
  • integrate quality at every stage of their business
  • bring their quality standards up to one of three NZS 9000 series standards - 9001, 9002, 9003 (ISO 9000 series).

Assistance is provided to help fund the cost of:

  • obtaining quality assurance certification (Quality Management Systems Certification); and
  • undertaking quality audits, as part of the certification process, ie pre-assessment visit/audit, desk audit, and on-site audit.

No assistance is available for maintaining certification.

Quotes

Where individual consultant’s fees (Components 1, 6 & 7) are in excess of $5,000 (grant of $2,500 or more sought) the applicant MUST attach:

  • evidence that competitive bids have been sought; OR
  • an explanation of why competitive bids have not been sought.

Note: Boards have the discretion to require applicants to provide competitive quotes for fees below this $5,000 level; if Boards exercise this discretion they must explain their reason(s) for doing this.

EGDS Conditions

In offering a grant to successful applicants the Board must use the prescribed approval letter which lists all 9 of the scheme’s conditions.

Definition of New Market - Components 1, 2 and 4

A new market is defined as a market in which the applicant’s good or service - for which assistance is sought - has not been sold. If the applicant already sells any goods or services to the market for which assistance is sought, then consideration will need to be given to the broad consumer group already being serviced in determining if the new market requirement is met. Markets are considered on a country-by-country basis, except the United States of America and Canada - the United States of America is made up of six distinct markets:

  • North East States
  • South East States
  • North West States
  • South West States
  • North Central States
  • South Central States

Canada is made up of two distinct markets:

  • West Canada (Manitoba and all provinces west thereof)
  • East Canada (Ontario and all provinces east thereof)

20 Monitoring by the Ministry of Commerce

The Ministry is responsible for reporting to the Minister on the overall administration of the Business Development Programme schemes - on the Boards’ implementation and interpretation of the criteria, implementation of procedures, etc. Boards shall therefore supply the Ministry with the information it requests on specific applications as well as base data on applications.
