Certification Management

How HMI manages wool certification for WA growers. Justin introduced RWS certification to Western Australia; HMI now runs it end to end — independent, with no brokerage interest.

Certified wool currently attracts a premium over comparable uncertified types.
Stage one

Getting you certified

  1. Scheme selection advice
  2. Gap assessment
  3. All certification documentation created and maintained
  4. Application and scope certificate lodgement
Stage two

Through the audit

  1. Liaison with the certifying body
  2. Pre audit review and preparation
  3. Attendance at audit
  4. Post audit guidance
  5. Non conformity close out
Stage three

Keeping you certified

  1. Annual maintenance
  2. Sold analysis, certified clip performance against the open market and other schemes

Whether certification pays on your clip depends on your type and your buyers. That assessment comes first, so you can make an informed decision.

Programs

Every service sits inside one of three annual programs. Most growers start on Clip Advisory.

Independent eyes on every lot you sell.

Market Intelligence is the reports alone. Clip Advisory adds your clip reviewed and someone to call all season. The Wool Program covers every lot, every sale, with certification managed.
