How many ISO standards you are wanting to be assessed for

If you are looking for multiple standards, if your management system is integrated to support them all

How mature your management system is, the longer it has been embedded the less assessment time required

The complexity of your organisation’s processes and levels of risk

What ISO 9001 could do for your business

Increase in commercial opportunities due to pre-qualification for contracts and tenders

Improving customer feedback results in product and service enhancements, resulting in increase in sales

Having a robust management system in place will benefit your business and increase productivity

The process to ISO 9001 Quality Management Certification

The beginning bit

First of all you need a management system put in place that is ‘assessment ready’. If you need help to do this, get in touch.
Complete our quick estimate form so we have some information about you.
We will let you know the estimated cost based on the information you have provided.
If you want to proceed, simply let us know by email.
We need to make sure enough assessment days are allocated, so we will call you to gain a deeper understanding of your business. This will result in a final quote.

The middle bit

We will match you with one of our excellent auditors and book in your date for a “Stage One Assessment.” This assessment is a document review to ensure your management system meets the ISO standards.
Your “Stage Two Assessment” will also be programmed in, usually 4-6 weeks after your Stage One. This is a review of your day to day operations so that we can collect evidence to demonstrate your working practices are in line with your management system.
If there are no major non conformances following your Stage Two you will be recommended to be certified. If there are non conformances you will have 6 weeks to address them and provide evidence of these. A decision maker will review the final report, verify this and then a certificate will be issued.

The ongoing bit

Once you have gained certification you enter into a cycle of surveillance audits. We always provide a consistent and efficient audit program.
These are much shorter than the initial audit and are carried out to ensure your organisation is meeting the ISO standard.
When you come towards the end of the three years, we will be in touch to organise a re-certification visit. This won’t be as in detail as the initial audit and will start off the next three year certification cycle.
We always work closely with our clients to ensure they are happy with our service and have ongoing communications throughout your cycle to discuss any changes that may effect your certification.
