FAQ

ISO 9001: frequently asked questions

What does ISO 9001 certification mean?

It means an independent certification body has audited your quality management system and confirmed that it meets the requirements of ISO 9001 for a defined scope of activities and sites.

Which industries can get ISO 9001 certified?

ISO 9001 is applicable to organizations of any size and in any industry — manufacturing, services, IT, healthcare, education, construction, and more.

Do we need to change all our processes to get certified?

Not necessarily. The standard is flexible and can be adapted to your existing processes. Our gap analysis will identify what changes are needed.

Who issues the ISO 9001 certificate?

Certificates are issued by an independent certification body after its own stage 1 and stage 2 audits. Certsure Certification is a consultancy: we prepare your organisation — gap analysis, documentation, training, internal audit and audit support — and coordinate with an accredited certification body. You can verify accredited certificates on IAF CertSearch.

How long is ISO 9001 certification valid?

Accredited management system certificates are normally valid for three years, with surveillance audits by the certification body at least once a year and a recertification audit before expiry.

How much does ISO 9001 certification cost?

Cost depends mainly on the number of employees and sites, the scope and complexity of your activities, how much of the system already exists, and the certification body's audit days.
