How It Works

  2. 2

    ZED assessment

    A trained ZED assessor visits the facility and evaluates the 50+ parameters in the assessment framework.

  3. 3

    Rating determination

    Based on the assessment score, a rating (Bronze through Platinum) is assigned. Non-conformities and improvement areas are identified.

  4. 4

    Action plan and certification

    The MSME implements the improvement plan. The final ZED rating certificate is issued.
