We Repeat

We mentioned the SQMDP telesales campaign yesterday – trying to book in SQM audits before September. The lasts enquiry was again one, to us, regarding deadlines – they had formed a firm view that the HAD to have an audit before August.
Again, we are not suggesting that this is what SQMDP are saying, or even implying, however there is clearly confusion.
Our understanding is that you have until Feb 2013 to pass an SQM (or Lexcel for that matter) audit – although you might not want to wait that long.
September seems to be the end of their reduced price, special offer, audit period – nothing more.
Our advice – Only apply at a time of your choosing.
UPDATE
Here is an LSC statement on the process.
Do note that there are NO deadlines contained within it.
