 The International Organization for
Standardization (known as the ISO for short)
is a global organization that works to provide
standardization across an array of products
and companies. Its main goal is to facilitate
trade, but its focus is on process
improvement, safety, and quality in several
areas.
  ISO certification is a seal of approval from a
third party body that a company runs to one
of the international standards developed and
published by the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO).
 The ISO are an independent, non-
governmental international organization who
brings together experts to share knowledge
and develop international standards that
support innovation and provide solutions to
global challenges.

 ISO certification shows your key stakeholders that you have a well-run business
that has structure, is stable and ready for growth.
 Each ISO standard has its own benefits, for example:
 ISO 9001 helps put your customers first
 ISO 27001 protects your systems, data and reputation
 ISO 14001 reduces your environmental impact
 ISO 45001 helps you protect your people
 ISO 22301 protects your business from disruption
 Common benefits across all ISO standards include:
 Increased efficiency
 Reduced costs
 Improved customer satisfaction
 More engaged employees
 Reduced risks
 Reduced insurance premiums
 Helps with tendering
 By maintaining an ISO certification you are proving your organisations
commitment to achieving your objectives and increasing the credibility and
customer confidence in your product or service.
 ISO certification costs vary dependent on the size
of an organisation and the level to which the
company is already run with regards to processes
and procedures. If you decide to implement more
than one standard at the same time, there are
some preferential fees available. We offer a
simple, cost effective service with flexible
payment terms. You can request a quote here.
 Due to our proposals being bespoke and the
number of variables that can affect the cost of
implementation, we do like to meet our potential
clients so as to get to know them a little better
before providing them with costings
 SO CERTIFICATION AND OUR APPROACH
 What is ISO accreditation and is it different to ISO certification?
 In principle, the systems are the same, it’s who certificates you and how they do it that’s
different.
 ISO accreditation or ISO accredited certification is when a company has achieved an ISO and /
or a BS standard by a certification body that is accredited by UKAS or equivalent. Every country
has its own version of UKAS (i.e. for Ireland its INAB) and although they are not akin to
government, they act as the governing body for certification companies.
 ISO accredited certification is only available after the assessment from an accredited body and
are unable to provide you with any help or support, they can only conduct the assessment and
give you a pass or a fail.
 ISO certification providers like ourselves however can fully support you with your
implementation. The support we provide includes templates for documentation, guidance
during visits and telephone support. We will also visit you twice a year; for a support visit to
help with any issues you’re facing and at your annual re-certification audit.
 For many customers, certification is more than adequate as it provides the structure needed to
improve their business and is well recognised. Should you require ISO accredited
certification (e.g. if a potential customer, trade association or regulatory body demands it), we
can provide ISO Consultancy services to help you get your management system ready for
assessment by an accredited body. This helps to increase your chance of passing the
assessment first time!

Difference Anyway?‘
