What Is ISO?
ISO standards are internationally recognised frameworks designed to improve quality, safety, efficiency, and environmental performance in businesses. Developed by an independent, non-governmental organisation, these standards help companies streamline processes, meet regulatory requirements, and build customer trust.
Each ISO certification has its own criteria and is verified through independent audits. Popular standards include ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environment), ISO 45001 (Health & Safety), and ISO 27001 (Information Security).
In simple terms, ISO standards are management systems that help businesses monitor and improve their operations. Many companies choose to work with ISO consultants to implement the right systems and prepare for certification.
Companies seeking ISO certification can choose to work with either accredited or unaccredited certification bodies. Accredited certification bodies are recognised by national accreditation agencies – such as UKAS in the UK – for meeting specific international standards of auditing and certification. Unaccredited certification bodies also offer ISO certification services and may provide more flexibility in their approach, which can be beneficial depending on a company’s specific needs or industry requirements. The choice between the two depends on factors such as customer expectations, regulatory requirements, and business goals.
Accredited
This means your certificate has been issued by a UKAS-accredited certification body, ensuring that it meets internationally recognised ISO standards. The certification process involves a thorough assessment, where a qualified auditor will evaluate your management system to verify its compliance before certification is granted.
Many government tenders and larger contracts specifically require UKAS-accredited ISO certification as a condition for consideration.
Unaccredited
This means you may have achieved ISO standard compliance by implementing the necessary systems and processes to meet ISO standards. However, it hasn’t been certified by a body accredited by a national accreditation body, such as UKAS.
Some companies may choose to pursue ISO compliance through a non-accredited certification body as a cost-saving measure, while still demonstrating their commitment to maintaining ISO standards.
What Is Certification?
Once you’ve implemented your management system, you can achieve certification to demonstrate to potential clients that your business practices align with industry standards, such as ISO 14001 for environmental management. An auditor will visit your business to review the practices you’ve put in place and, if they meet the required standards, issue a certificate. Depending on your preference, you can choose to go for accredited or unaccredited certification.
Certification bodies provide management system certification, and if they are accredited, they are typically evaluated against the international standard ISO/IEC 17021:2015, often by UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service). These certification bodies undergo regular assessments to ensure they continue to meet the requirements of this standard.
Certification is the formal assessment of conformity to a specific standard, which could be related to a management system, product, process, or personnel. The standards used may include international ISO standards, European EN standards, or various national standards.
Certification is typically valid for a fixed period (usually 3 years). After this period, a recertification audit is required. Additionally, annual surveillance assessments are conducted to ensure ongoing compliance during the certification period.
