Understanding ISO Certification in Simple Terms

ISO standards provide a structured framework that helps businesses operate in a controlled, consistent, and reliable way. Certification confirms that an independent audit has verified your system against the chosen ISO standard.

What ISO Certification Means

ISO certification shows that your business follows a recognised standard for how it operates. Standards cover areas such as quality, health and safety, information security, environment, and more.

ISO does not issue certificates. Certification is issued by independent certification bodies after a formal audit that checks compliance with the standard requirements.

Certification Bodies & Accreditation

A certification body is an independent organisation that conducts ISO audits and issues certificates if requirements are met. Some certification bodies are accredited by ASCB for specific standards.

Not all standards fall under the same accreditation structure. We work with recognised certification bodies based on the standard required and your business needs.

ISO Certification Process – Step by Step

The certification journey usually starts with an initial discussion and then moves into formal audits with a recognised certification body.

Step 1

Initial Discussion

We understand your business, scope, and standard requirements and explain what the certification route looks like.

Step 2

Audit Arranged

An audit is arranged with a recognised certification body based on your chosen standard and business type.

Step 3

Stage 1 Audit

Stage 1 reviews readiness and key information needed before the full compliance assessment.

Step 4

Stage 2 Audit

Stage 2 checks full compliance to confirm your management system meets the ISO standard requirements.

Step 5

Certification & Surveillance

If successful, the certificate is issued. Annual surveillance audits help keep certification valid over time.

We focus only on certification coordination and keep the process clear and professional from enquiry to certificate.
