Scania covers the cost of the On-Site Check.

After an On-Site Check, any non-conformity will be documented in a Corrective Action Plan (CAP). This is discussed between the auditor and the auditee and, eventually, signed.

VOC standard:

With your signature, you confirm it for your acknowledgment and give your consent for this report to be sent to us. Subsequently, it is possible to determine your S-Rating result, consisting of SAQ and audit results.

RSCI standard:

After successful completion, you can share your results with us on the RSCI platform. The prerequisite for this is a trading relationship between your company and Volkswagen Group stored on the platform. By sharing the result, the overall score of your S rating can be determined.

The On-Site Check is about inspecting the practical implementation of the information you have provided in the SAQ. It is intended to help you identify gaps that negatively impact the S-Rating and to show you actions that you can take to remedy these gaps. The On-Site Check is a supplement to the SAQ but does not release you from your obligation to continuously improve the SAQ.

VOC standard: The report will be sent to you by the executing audit company after the VOC. With your signature, you confirm your acknowledgment and give your consent for this report to be sent to us.

RSCI standard: Since you have commissioned the audit independently, you will receive the data directly from the audit service provider.

Please state your position clearly and immediately in the final discussion with the auditor. If any discrepancies between the signed CAP and the final report occur, please contact the auditing company and the contact Scania.

In general, the On-Site Check is valid for five years.
