What is ISO certification?

ISO certification is awarded to organisations that have been audited by a third party against the requirements laid out in ISO Standards. ISO Standards are international frameworks of best practice published by the ISO (International Organisation of Standardisation) and are created by experts across the globe to help businesses improve their performance. The ISO does not issue certificates itself; instead, they are issued by external certification companies, such as Citation ISO Certification.

Common benefits of ISO certification include:

  • Improved efficiency
  • Reduced costs
  • Better customer satisfaction
  • New business
  • Reduced risks
  • Better staff retention

Our 3-stage Certification Process ensures you get the help you need at every step. We can even create your Documented ISO Management System for you, saving you time and money.

3 steps to ISO certification

With our help, the certification process can take as little as 45 days to complete

Gap Analysis

One of our consultants will visit your Organisation to review and document your current processes and procedures, highlighting any areas that do not meet the requirements of the Standard.

Implementation

Now its time to make sure any required process or procedural changes are made, as highlighted in the Review. We can provide templates to assist you in doing this.

Certification

An Auditor must now visit your Organisation to check that the documented processed are being followed and that the necessary changes have been made. Once they are satisfied, you will be rewarded with your certification.

How much does ISO certification cost?

The cost of certification depends on several factors. These include your choice of Management System Standard, as well as your business sector, sites, and number of employees. We will also need to know whether you require industry specific accreditation (such as ASCB or UKAS).

However, Citation ISO Certification is committed to providing a cost-effective route to ISO Certification. That’s why we focus on making the process simple and straightforward. We save you money because, instead of creating complex document trails, we build ISO management systems that work for your business.
