Training paves the way for more successful R2 implementations and audits

Apr. 28, 2018

R2 certified companies – and those preparing for certification – make up an increasing percentage of participants in the R2 Auditor Training offered by SERI.   The 3-day course focuses on the documentation that certifying body auditors expect to see during an audit.  Understanding the R2 Standard from this perspective helps pave the way for the successful implementation of R2 requirements, and ultimately, a successful audit.       

One of the comments from an R2 Recycler who attended the Auditor Course –

“It can be difficult to fully understand all the requirements of the R2 standard.  Taking the R2 Auditor Training class helped me gain perspective on what I have to do in my own operation to comply to the standard.  It helped me better understand the testing requirement for reuse, resale, & repair; and with that knowledge, I was able to work with our IT department in the implementation of new testing software that allows us to record the key & secondary results of equipment we test.  During the class I also learned how to better manage our focus materials and the documentation needed for the entire recycling chain.  I recommend taking the class to get your own understanding of how to implement R2 requirements in your current department.”    –Gilbert Javalera, HOBI International 

The next Auditor Training courses are scheduled for:

June 11-13, 2018 (3 full days) in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA 
Cost: $700/participant - Register by May 22
(class may be rescheduled if 10-person minimum is not reached)

June 25-28, 2018 (4 full days) in Bangalore, India
Cost:  $400/participant  - Register by June, 10
