Framework readiness certificate

When every check for a framework is complete, ErgOps can issue a framework readiness certificate with a public verification page. It records that your readiness work was complete at a point in time.

Important A readiness certificate is not an accredited certification, an audit opinion or a legal compliance determination. It confirms completed readiness work in ErgOps only. Describe it that way when you share it.

When a certificate can be issued#

All checks for the framework must be complete:

  • ready or passing, supported by current, approved evidence, or
  • not applicable with an approved exception.

Issue a certificate#

  1. Open the framework's detail page.
  2. Select the {Framework} Certificate button. It is available to Organization Managers and Sustainability Managers once readiness is complete.

A certificate is valid for one year.

What the verification page shows#

Anyone with the link can open the certificate page. It shows:

  • your company name and the framework and version
  • check completion, checks completed and approved evidence
  • the certificate number, issue date, valid-until date and a unique verification ID
  • the statement that it reflects readiness, not accredited certification

Verification pages are not indexed by search engines.

Automatic revocation#

A certificate is revoked automatically if the framework is disabled, or if a decision on evidence that supported it is changed from approved.
