Is your company looking for ISO certification, but do not know where to start?
Challenge to ISO Certification– Do you have a customer, supplier, or organization requiring ISO certification for your company by a certain deadline? There are many ISO standards including, ISO 9001 Quality Management, R2 Electronics Recycling, ISO 17025 Testing & Calibration Labs, ISO 20000 Information Technology Service Management, ISO 13485 Quality for Medical Devices to name a few.
Some of the challenges of starting the ISO certification process can be any number of the following scenarios;
“We do not understand all the the ISO requirements”
“How many staff members & resources to manage the ISO certification process”
“We do not want to effect our day to day operations”
“How much time and money will this require”
“We do not have internal documentation we follow and have to start from scratch”
Do any of these sound familiar?
ISO Process– Depending on the ISO standard you organization is looking to get certified, you will need to successfully blend your business processes with ISO requirements in a compliant management system. Once you have a compliant ISO management system and have implemented into your company day to day operations, you are ready for the audit.
A certification body, also referred to as a “registrar”, performs an audit to assess compliance with the standard and the organization’s declared management system. Upon a successful audit, the organization is granted a certificate of compliance from the trusted third party registrar. The organization undergoes additional but lesser surveillance audits at least annually thereafter for 3 years until the certification then expires and requires a re-certification.
