4. Documentation of the work / results / work processes related to the selected areas of improvement
5. Documentation that you meet the minimum quality requirements for all quality indicators that have minimum requirements.
6. The expert creates a report with assessments of the documented quality you have on various indicators and recommendations for new improvement measures.
7. Certification is valid for another 2 years and you can initiate gold certification whenever you want. More about the processes can be found on ESCAS pages or by contacting us.



Summary - Timely extent


  • 1 week to get the bronze benchmarking form done, and a clarification meeting with us.

  • 4-5 weeks later - new benchmarking report

  • 1-2 weeks to review and select and describe at least three improvement areas and submit these to us and ESCA.

  • Minimum 1-3 weeks to prepare for review with experts

  • 1-2 week after preparations the review itself.

  • M inimum 1 week you will receive a report you have to go through.


Overall, given that you have the capacity to keep this pace the total time extent will be 2-3 months to complete the certification process.



The tasks you have to do yourself will require at least a couple of weeks of work. We can help with advice & guidance that cuts this somewhat.


Continuous improvement

Many clusters does not follow up after the first benchmarking. We have therefore included a follow-up interview following the receipt of the report where we aim to ensure that you get started with the follow-up work towards the next certification and do not leave the improvement work until just before the certification expires.
