Before you apply

Certification begins with a precise question.

Which management system, organisational activities and locations should be assessed against which standard?

The answer determines the audit scope, required competence, audit duration and the wording that may appear on a certificate. A useful application therefore starts with the organisation's real activities—not with a generic request for “an ISO certificate”.

ISO certification FAQ

Questions that should be answered before application.

These answers explain the route at a practical level. Standard-specific and scope-specific details are confirmed during application review.

Which ISO standard should an organisation choose?+

Start with the management issue, contractual requirement or tender clause the organisation needs to address. The exact standard should be confirmed before the application is finalised.

Can several sites be included in one certification scope?+

Potentially, but the organisational relationship, common management system, activities, site complexity and applicable certification rules must be reviewed.

What is the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2?+

Stage 1 reviews readiness, scope and key management-system information. Stage 2 evaluates implementation and effectiveness through audit evidence.

Does submitting an application mean certification will be issued?+

No. The application begins review and planning. Certification follows only after the required audit stages, resolution of relevant findings and an independent certification decision.

Can an existing certificate be transferred?+

A transfer route may be considered after reviewing the current certificate, issuing body, audit status, outstanding findings and applicable transfer conditions.

How should a tender requirement be checked?+

Verify the standard, scope wording, accreditation expectation, geographic requirement and any sector-specific condition before applying.
