ISO Certification for the Engineering Industry

Standardising your methods of working is essential to ensure risk is managed in your engineering company. This is where ISOs come in. Building quality assurance into your service offering demonstrates your ability to identify potential risks and inefficiencies and develop procedures to mitigate these risks. This will also help you maintain a reputation amongst potential contractors for consistency.

Having ISO 9001 shows a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction while ISO 45001, the Standard for occupational health & safety, can demonstrate that you put health & safety first. You can also improve your green credentials with ISO 14001, the Standard for environmental management. ISO 45003 is a new Standard that can be incorporated with all the above ISOs. Promoting your commitment to the mental wellbeing of your employees can help build resilience and create a strong company culture with happy and healthy employees.

We have developed a simple and cost-effective 3-stage certification process. This means you could achieve certification in less than 45 days.

Our consultants will support you through the entire certification process, providing templates and offering guidance as required. They can even create your Documented Management System for you and deliver this on our management system platform, Atlas ISO – at no additional cost. By working with our expert consultants, you’ll receive a tailored management system that meets the individual needs of your engineering business.

From your first consultation with our ISO specialists through to certification, can take as little as 45 days. However, this depends on the size and complexity of your business.

We can normally save you time and money by creating the Documented Management System for you and providing you with access to templates, tutorial videos and a thorough gap-analysis, all of which can also help your business gain certification faster.

The requirements depend on which ISO(s) you are aiming to achieve.

The requirements for ISO 9001 can be roughly broken down into four key areas: management responsibility, resource management, product realisation, and measurement, analysis and improvement. You will need to fulfil all these requirements in order to achieve ISO 9001.

The requirements for ISO 14001 are similar but have added emphasis on environmental impact rather than product realisation. For ISO 45001 you will need to demonstrate additional processes for how your business will operate to assess, mitigate and control risks.
