What is ISO certification?
ISO certification is a formal recognition that an organization complies with the standards set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It shows that your company meets international best practices in areas like quality, environmental management, and occupational health and safety.



Why is ISO certification important?
ISO certification boosts credibility, improves internal processes, increases customer satisfaction, and may open doors to new markets or clients that require certified suppliers or partners.
How long does it take to get ISO certified?
The timeline varies depending on the size and complexity of your organization. Typically, it can take anywhere from 2 to 6 months, depending on your current level of compliance and readiness.

Which ISO standards are most relevant to my business?
The most common and widely applicable ISO standards include:

ISO 9001 – Quality Management

ISO 14001 – Environmental Management

ISO 45001 – Occupational Health & Safety
We can help you assess which standards best align with your business goals and industry requirements.
Do we need to renew our ISO certification?
Yes. ISO certifications are valid for three years and require annual surveillance audits to maintain certification. A full recertification audit is done at the end of the three-year cycle.

What is the cost of ISO certification?
Costs vary based on the size of your business, the number of sites, the complexity of your operations, and the standards you’re pursuing. We offer competitive packages and can provide a free quote tailored to your needs.
What’s the difference between ISO certification and accreditation?
ISO certification confirms that your management system meets ISO standards. Accreditation is the formal recognition of the certification body’s competence to audit and issue certifications. Always make sure your certification is issued by an accredited body
What is the process for getting ISO certified?
The typical ISO certification process involves:

Initial gap analysis

Planning and implementation

Internal audits and management reviews

Certification audit by an accredited body

Ongoing improvement and surveillance audits
Will ISO certification help us win more business?
Absolutely. Many clients and government contracts require ISO certification as a precondition. It can also differentiate you from competitors, showing your commitment to quality, sustainability, and safety.
