DIRECT ANSWERS
Questions about this topic.
How does the Excel readiness percentage work?+
Implemented, partial and not implemented responses contribute to a weighted score. Not-applicable responses are excluded from the denominator. The result is a planning indicator based on your answers, not an audit conclusion.
Which ISO standards can the workbook support?+
It reviews common management-system foundations relevant to standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 22000. The authorised standard and its specific requirements still need a separate, competent assessment.
Does a high percentage mean we will pass the certification audit?+
No. The workbook cannot verify evidence, sampling, implementation effectiveness or standard-specific conformity. An independent certification body conducts the certification audit and makes the certificate decision.
Do I need advanced Excel skills?+
No. Select responses from the provided lists and the formulas update the dashboard. Owners, target dates and actions remain editable for your team.
Can LETA review our completed assessment?+
Yes. LETA can review the result online or on site, test the supporting evidence and define a focused implementation or formal gap-analysis scope.
Is an email address required to download it?+
No. The workbook is available as a direct download so your team can start the assessment immediately.
