A practical fit check

Which ISO standard
matches the goal?

The operational risk or buyer requirement should select the standard—not the cheapest certificate offer.

Quality and consistency

ISO 9001 structures a quality management system around repeatable delivery and improvement.

Information security

ISO 27001 addresses information-security risks, controls and assurance.

Environment or safety

ISO 14001 and 45001 focus on environmental and occupational health and safety systems.

Sector-specific assurance

Food, medical devices, continuity and energy each have standards tailored to their risks.

Accredited audit

A system proven in operation.

ISO does not certify companies—and neither do consultants.

An independent certification body issues the certificate. Verify its accreditation and be cautious of instant certificates with no Stage 1 or Stage 2 audit.

01 / Outcome

What you receive,
ready to use.

ISO develops standards but does not certify organisations. We help select the standard, define scope, prepare the management system and coordinate with an independent certification body whose accreditation can be checked.

06 / After registration

Certification is a cycle,
not a badge.

Internal reviews, surveillance audits and recertification keep the certificate credible.

01

Internal audit

Planned periodically

Test whether the implemented management system meets the selected standard and the organisation's own requirements.

02

Management review

Planned periodically

Leadership reviews performance, risks, resources and improvement actions.

03

Surveillance audit

Usually annually

The certification body checks continued operation during the three-year cycle.

04

Recertification

Before year three ends

A recertification audit begins the next certification cycle.
