Verification is a structured, systematic process to assess the degree to which an organisation is working to achieve the CHS. The Quality Assurance Verification Scheme is managed by the CHS Alliance. It sets out the policies and rules of the verification process to ensure it is conducted in a fair and consistent manner for all participating organisations.  

The scheme offers three verification options with different degrees of rigour and confidence in the results. These are: 

self-assessment 

independent verification 

certification 

The indicators used are common across all the options.
