How Do I Get ISO Certified?

For many businesses unfamiliar with the process, answering the question “How to take ISO certification?” seems confusing – if not intimidating. With a variety of standards to choose from and a lack of clear, jargon-free guidance, it can be difficult to know where to begin. Certification is all about proving your business meets internationally recognised standards for things like quality, environmental impact, information security, or health and safety. It’s a way to demonstrate credibility, win new contracts, and improve internal efficiency – but navigating the requirements and documentation can quickly become overwhelming.

We take the pain out of the process with a flexible, three-step system designed to build your ISO-compliant management system around the way you already work. Our approach saves you time, eliminates errors, and helps you achieve certification in the most cost-effective way possible.

Gap Analysis

The gap analysis looks at what you already have in place and what you will need to change to meet the requirements of your chosen ISO Standard. We use a checklist to look at your current procedures and gauge the level of conformance you already have. We also offer a gap analysis separately if you would like to see where you are and where you need to be to achieve certification without taking the plunge!

Build The System

Next, we’ll build your new management system. We know what you need to do from the gap analysis and we will work with you and upper management to ensure that any issues are addressed, the new procedures you need are put in place and that you are meeting the requirements of the standard. Our consultants work with your current policies and want to make the changes fit you, not the other way around.

Implementation

We’ll help you to train your employees on the new management system and how to maintain it. All staff members must understand the system so that when your auditor visits, they can be confident in answering any questions they may have. We’ll help you to get ready for your third party certification and confirm with you that you are ready for certification before we put you forward for it.

How Much Does ISO Certification Cost?

The cost of ISO certification varies depending on factors like the size and complexity of your business, how many employees or sites you have, and which ISO standard(s) you’re working towards. Smaller businesses may pay less, while larger or more complex organisations might require more time and support, which can affect the price. Typically, ISO certification fees include consultancy (if you choose external support), internal preparation, and the external audit by a certification body. ISO certification charges can differ widely between providers, so the best way to get an accurate idea is to request a tailored quote based on your specific needs.

Our day rate is tailored to your business—taking into account your industry, the complexity of your operations, the number of employees and sites, and the number of ISO standards you need.

We’ll always quote you the maximum number of days required, but if you don’t use them all, you won’t be charged for the extras. It’s simple, transparent pricing with no surprises.

We also offer flexible payment plans to make budgeting even easier.
