ISO CERTIFICATE PROCEDURES

Before asking a certification company for an ISO certificate, you need to do fulfil the following steps in your company.

1. Preparation and Organization

As we initiate the certification journey, we collaborate closely with your organization’s leadership to devise a strategic plan for the project. We will request the designation of a project manager and the formation of a team to partner with us. This team will receive comprehensive training where we will cover topics such as the significance of ISO 9001, its importance, and the details of the certification process. For instance, if your goal is to obtain ISO 9001 certification, we will discuss the standard’s specific requirements and the advantages it offers.

2. Strategic Project Planning

During this stage, we will carry out a comprehensive examination of your organization’s existing systems and procedures in relation to the certification you are pursuing. This involves evaluating your management system, methods for managing social compliance, and history with product or system certifications. We will assess the preparedness of your organization for certification by taking into account its structure, current systems, legal frameworks and available resources. Following this detailed evaluation, we will complete the project plan that we previously initiated, tailoring it to align closely with your organization’s objectives and policies. The timeline and tasks outlined in this revised plan will be more practical and achievable.

3.Education

During the third stage of the consultancy procedure, comprehensive ISO training is scheduled for company executives and project leaders, focusing on the product, system, process, audit, or standard for which they seek certification. These sessions provide in-depth knowledge tailored to the unique circumstances, capabilities, and objectives of the company. The length of the training varies based on factors such as the scope of the certification service, the organization’s current condition, and the background of the attendees. Upon completion, participants receive a certificate of training. Different individuals may undergo varied training, depending on the specific certification and the roles of the project team members involved.

4.System Configuration

A vital phase in the consulting process involves establishing a system aligned with a specific ISO standard, method or methodology that the company seeks to get certified in. We enhance the most efficiently organized system model, tailored to the company’s structure, resources, and capabilities. We identify the internal processes of this system and how it interacts with other systems, ensuring that it functions efficiently, completely, transparently, and consistently. To ensure the desired system performance, we might implement technical modifications. We develop a documentation framework for the implemented system, (Such as the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System). The necessary document types and their content are specified. Project managers are briefed on the purpose, development process and timelines of each document, receiving essential support throughout their preparation.

5. Implementation

After all preparations are finalized and the system is set up, it is activated and enters a pilot testing stage. During this stage, the system is trialed within a small segment of the organization’s operations. Its performance is closely monitored to pinpoint any failures or areas needing enhancement, which are then resolved. Specific metrics are applied to enhance system efficacy, and a range of evaluations and analyses are performed. When it is confirmed that the system is operating at its highest efficiency, the subsequent phase is initiated.

6. Certification

Upon completion of our consultancy services to take ISO certification, your company will be well-positioned to apply for certification.
