Step 2: Documentation and implementation (3โ€“4 months)
  • Assistance in preparing ISO-compliant policies and procedures. 
  • Guidance on integrating ISO standards into daily operations. 
Step 3: Internal audits and pre-assessment checks (2โ€“3 weeks)

Step 4: External certification audit (1โ€“2 weeks)
  • Coordination with an external certification body to complete the official assessment. 
  • Full support throughout the audit process to ensure a successful outcome.
Step 5: Certification and ongoing compliance support (ongoing, 2 months post-certification)

FAQs

What is ISO certification?

The International Organisation for Standardisation is a globally recognised seal of approval that shows a business meets internationally accepted standards in areas such as quality, safety, and environmental management. ISO standards are woven into everyday life as a trusted symbol of quality. You interact with these standards daily without even realising it, from the credit card numbers you use online to the stop signs that help regulate road safety.
For oganisations, it offers the same level of international recognition. It demonstrates a commitment to quality, compliance, and best practices that customers, suppliers, and employees can trust.

How to get ISO certification?

Gaining certification involves several key steps to ensure a companyโ€™s processes meet international standards. You must select the appropriate ISO standard for its industry, such as ISO 9001 for quality management or ISO 14001 for environmental management. The next phase is to develop and implement a management system that aligns with the chosen standardโ€™s requirements, which may involve creating new policies, procedures, and documentation.

Once the system is in place and has been operating effectively for a period, a company can conduct an internal audit to identify any non-conformities and address them. The final step is to engage an accredited third-party certification body to perform an external audit. If the organisation successfully demonstrates its compliance during this audit, it will be awarded the certification, which is typically valid for three years and requires regular surveillance audits to maintain.
