(Silver / Gold Level)

Steps for Site Assessment

This step is applicable for MSMEs applying for Silver or Gold Certification.

Congratulations on successfully completing the Basic Information and Document Upload stage.
By completing this step, your unit has moved forward in the ZED certification journey.

The next stage after Basic Document Upload is the Site Assessment.

Preparation Before Site Assessment

After completing the Basic Information and Document Upload stage, MSMEs may take approximately 10–15 days to prepare detailed parameter documents and ensure proper implementation at the unit level.

During this preparation period, MSMEs are encouraged to strengthen their understanding of parameters and documentation requirements.

Parameter Documentation Requirement:

Before the assessor visit, MSMEs must prepare documentation as per:

Silver level

14 Parameter Checklist

Gold level

20 Parameter Checklist

MSMEs are advised to review and complete the respective parameter checklist thoroughly before confirming the audit date.

Complimentary ZED Parameter Workshop – Every Saturday

Our Mission- we have contributed 2.5 Lakh MSMEs – to enhance their competitiveness, growth, and expansion by March 31, 2028

To support MSMEs during preparation, we conduct a:

Complimentary ZED Parameter Workshop every Saturday

In this session, we explain in detail:

  • All Silver / Gold Parameters.
  • Documentation Requirements.
  • Practical Implementation Guidance.
  • Assessment Expectations.
  • Common Mistakes to Avoid.

We strongly recommend attending the workshop before proceeding for Site assessment. MSMEs whose Site assessment has already been conducted and where NC (Non-Conformities) are observed may also attend the workshop to better understand parameter requirements and learn the correct approach for effective NC closure.

Audit Process (Site Assessment)

Once documentation and parameter preparation are complete, a Site Assessment (Audit) will be conducted:

Silver level

1 Man-Day Audit

Gold level

3 Man-Day Audit

The assessment will be carried out by an authorized ZED Assessor at the unit location.

It is recommended to confirm the audit date only after full preparation to ensure a smooth  and successful assessment.
