Show customers, partners, and regulators that you collect, store, transport, and treat e-waste safely and in an environmentally sound way, audited by one of 127 GCC auditors across Australia.
AS/NZS 5377 sets the minimum requirements for handling end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment safely and in an environmentally sound way.
It applies at every stage: collection, storage, transport, recycling, resource recovery and disposal.
The need for all organisations that are involved in e-waste recycling to be certified to AS/NZS 5377 arose from an operational review of the National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme (NTCRS), which was created to manage the ongoing stability of recycling systems as the volume of e-waste increases exponentially.
The standard requires you to develop, implement, and maintain documented management processes for handling e-waste.
Our auditors check that those processes exist and that your team follows them.
Our audit team reviews your documentation and confirms your system is ready for the certification audit.
We assess how your system works in practice and confirm that you’ve addressed everything raised at Stage 1. After an independent review, your certificate is issued.
Your certificate lasts three years, with at least one surveillance audit each year. Before it expires, a re-certification audit keeps you covered.
Global Compliance Certification (GCC) is a leading independent certification body for Quality, Safety, Environment, Information Security, Privacy, Food Safety, NDIS and other Management Systems accredited by JASANZ.
Any organisation that collects, stores, transports, recycles, recovers or disposes of end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment and wants to show it meets a uniform, benchmarkable standard.
There are two stages. Stage 1 reviews your documentation and readiness. Stage 2 checks how your system works in practice and confirms any Stage 1 issues are closed. After an independent review, your certificate is issued.
