FAQs: IRMA
How to start the IRMA certification process?
The first step is to perform a self-assessment using the official IRMA tools. At PetroShore we offer a free initial diagnosis to identify gaps and define a realistic action plan.
What are the technical requirements for an IRMA audit?
Verifiable documentation on environmental management, community relations, internal governance, labor practices and risk control is essential. Evidence of the implementation and monitoring of specific policies is also required.
How long does it take on average for a mining company to obtain IRMA certification?
It depends on the initial degree of maturity. The process can take between 8 and 18 months. PetroShore helps to reduce time through strategic planning and continuous training of the team.
How is IRMA different from other certifications such as ICMM, ISO or RJC?
IRMA is more comprehensive and publicly verifiable. It includes independent audits, stakeholder participation and a multidimensional approach to ESG. It is complementary, not exclusive.
Can a mining operation be audited in stages or only in its entirety?
IRMA allows for phased audits, especially useful for large groups or multi-site projects. PetroShore designs phased strategies to facilitate progressive compliance.
What technical support does PetroShore offer during the process?
We offer continuous support : diagnostics, improvement plans, specific training, document preparation, mock audits and support in the relationship with the certifying body. If you need more information, you can request a call with our specialized team.
