FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does a certification body do?

A certification body independently audits an organization against a published standard. If the evidence shows the requirements are met, it issues a certificate and keeps it under surveillance. It does not design or implement the system it certifies.

How long does ISO certification take?

Once your system is implemented and producing records, the Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits are usually completed within a few weeks to a few months.

How much does ISO certification cost?

Cost depends mainly on audit time, which is set by headcount, number of sites, scope and the standard. Send us these details for a written proposal.

How can I check whether a certificate is valid?

Use our Certificate Verification page, or scan the QR code on the certificate. The result shows status, standard, scope and expiry date.
