How to get ISO 9001 certified
A clear path from first contact to receiving your certificate, with support afterwards.
-
Step 1: Speak to one of our experts
The process starts with a conversation with one of our quality specialists, who will explain the steps involved and the requirements you need to meet for ISO 9001 certification.
-
Step 2: Pre-assessment (optional)
You can request an optional pre-assessment audit that shows where your system stands against the requirements of the standard before the certification audit.
-
Step 3: Planning and implementation
Your organisation draws up its action plan and puts in place the measures needed to conform to ISO 9001. Your team can attend our open training courses, such as internal-auditor and awareness courses; as a certification body, we do not provide consultancy on building your system, so that our audits remain impartial.
-
Step 4: Audit and certification
Team Quality carries out the Stage 1 and Stage 2 certification audits to verify that your system conforms to ISO 9001. Once the process is complete and all requirements are met, you receive your certificate.
-
Step 5: Ongoing compliance
After certification, we carry out periodic surveillance audits throughout the certificate's validity, followed by a recertification audit, to confirm that your systems and processes remain conformant and continue to improve.
