FAQ's

How long does it take to get ISO Certified?

Starting with your initial consultation with our ISO specialists and progressing through certification, the timeline can be as short as 15 days. However, the duration is contingent upon the size and complexity of your business. It's worth noting that we can often expedite the process and reduce costs by preparing the Documented Management System Manual on your behalf, which can also accelerate the certification for your business.

What is the duration of the certification?

Following ISO 17021 guidelines, accredited certification bodies must provide certified organizations with certificates covering a 3-year certification cycle. Extensions beyond this timeframe are possible with the completion of necessary external audits and adherence to the certification cycle. ISO Certification, for instance, commonly issues certificates throughout a ten-year contract period.

What is the cost associated with obtaining ISO certification?

At Company Certification, our dedication is to ensure that ISO certification remains cost-effective for all our clients. The expenses involved depend on various factors including your industry sector, annual turnover, number of employees, and other considerations.

Is it possible for an individual to obtain ISO certification?

ISO certification is reserved for organizational entities, and not for individual professionals.

What does the ISO 45001 standard encompass?

ISO 45001 serves as the global standard for managing occupational health and safety. Securing an ISO 45001 certificate signifies the establishment of a dedicated system to minimize the risk of occupational injuries and diseases.

ISO 45001 is applicable to any organization seeking to enhance health and safety risk management, boost productivity, and safeguard its reputation. Furthermore, implementing ISO 45001 can enhance business efficiency by minimizing absenteeism and workplace accidents.

What differentiates OHSAS 18001 from ISO 45001?

ISO 45001 includes requirements that center around leadership, employee engagement and awareness, and a heightened focus on various aspects of health, including mental well-being. Additionally, it places significant emphasis on the identification and analysis of both risks and opportunities.
