Ready before they arrive.

CMA, SABS, ISO 9001, and customer audits can land in the same year. The records are already filed by product, batch, and date. VexRoute does not issue the mark.

  • Batch register with linked machines & shifts
  • First-off & in-process results, template revisions
  • NCR-0032 — containment and closure sign-off
  • Lab results, calibration status, operator identity

Labelled supporting evidence — never a certification mark.

What it does

  • Filed by batch and date

    Inspections, mix records, samples, and nonconformances are searchable. The night-before folder is the thing this replaces.

  • The schemes concrete plants actually face

    CMA product certification, SABS mark assessments, ISO 9001 surveillance, and customer audits. Not every plant faces every one.

  • An export labelled supporting evidence

    The pack carries timestamps, the template revision, exceptions, and attachments. It never says certified by VexRoute.

  • The revision that was in force

    Historical results keep the acceptance rules from that day. A later template edit does not rewrite them.

Schemes we support with records

VexRoute helps manufacturers manage inspection records and evidence relevant to the listed standards and certification schemes. VexRoute is not a certification body and does not issue or guarantee certification.

Four audits that matter for concrete plants

Not every factory faces every audit. It depends on product certifications, quality-management certifications and customer contracts.
CMA product certificationCMA

Product-scheme audits for certified concrete masonry and paving lines.

Conducted by: CMA Certification Services

Mandatory? No — depends on product certification

SABS product certificationSABS

Mark Scheme assessments that expect controlled records and ongoing product testing.

Conducted by: SABS

Mandatory? No — depends on product certification

ISO 9001 quality-management auditISO 9001

QMS surveillance that looks for controlled documents, competence and closed nonconformances.

Conducted by: Internal auditors and, if certified, external certification bodies

Mandatory? No — unless contractually required

Customer / supplier quality auditCustomer

Batch-specific evidence for claims, tenders and supplier approval reviews.

Conducted by: Large customers or their auditors

Mandatory? Depends on customer contracts

How often manufacturers are audited

Typical scheme practice from CMA, SABS and ISO certification bodies. Confirm the exact schedule against your certification agreement.
CMACMA product certification
At least annually, including product witness testing. Mark / accreditation holders may face twice-yearly compliance audits.
SABSSABS product certification
Quality-system assessments at least twice yearly, plus regular product testing under the Mark Scheme.
ISO 9001ISO 9001 quality-management audit
Annual surveillance audits, with recertification every three years.
CustomerCustomer / supplier quality audit
Set by each customer agreement — often annual or tied to supply events.

A factory could face several of these in the same year. Missing records or incomplete corrective actions can put certification status at risk.

What an auditor actually inspects

For a concrete brick or paving factory, the assessor may request evidence such as:
  • Daily production and quality-control records
  • Concrete mix and raw-material records
  • Product dimensions and strength-test results
  • Equipment calibration certificates
  • Rejected batches and corrective-action records
  • Employee competency and training records
  • Internal audits and management reviews

These categories mirror what product-certification applications already expect — VexRoute organises them by product, batch, date and inspection type.

Why this matters

Without a desk, preparing for a SABS or CMA visit means months of test reports, production logs, calibration documents and corrective-action forms from folders and Excel.

With VexRoute, those records are already linked — so the plant is audit-ready every day, instead of forcing the quality manager to rebuild everything immediately before an assessment.

Exports are labelled supporting evidence. VexRoute is not a certification body and does not issue SABS, CMA or ISO marks.

What an export includes

Every pack is indexed and filtered — timestamps, template revision, exceptions and attachments.
Scope header
Audit date, scheme or standard reference, site, product and batch filters you chose.
Records
Original values, operator identity, approvals and change history — not a rewritten summary.
Label
Marked supporting evidence. Never a forged mark, certificate or “certified by VexRoute” badge.

Ask for last quarter by batch.

If the quality manager can retrieve it in under two minutes, the desk is doing its job. On the first call we will ask which schemes you hold — CMA, SABS, ISO 9001, customer, or a mix.
