Our ISO Certification Assistance Process
A clear, step-by-step view of how we support your business from initial assessment through to certification coordination with an accredited certification body.
Five Stages of Our Support
The exact scope of work depends on the ISO standard and your organization, but our support generally follows these stages.
Requirement Assessment
We understand your business, industry and the ISO standard(s) relevant to you.
Documentation Support
We help prepare the policies, procedures and records your chosen standard requires.
Implementation & Internal Review
We guide implementation of the required processes and assess readiness internally.
Certification Body Coordination
We help coordinate the external audit with an independent, accredited certification body.
Independent Certification Decision
The certification body reviews the audit outcome and makes the certification decision.
Who Does What
It is important to be clear about where our role ends and where the certification body's role begins.
Our Role
- Assess your requirements and recommend a suitable ISO standard
- Support documentation, implementation and internal readiness review
- Coordinate scheduling and communication with a certification body
- Guide you through corrective actions, if any are raised during audit
The Certification Body's Role
- Conducts the independent external audit of your management system
