From your first consultation with our ISO specialists through to certification, the process can take as little as 45 days. However, this does depend on the size and complexity of your business.

Remember, we can normally save you time and money by drafting the Documented Management System Manual for you. This can also help your business gain certification faster.

In accordance with ISO 17021, accredited certification bodies are required to issue certified organisations with certificates that are reflective of a 3-year certification cycle.

Certifications can be issued for longer than this period providing the requisite external audits are performed and the certification cycle followed. Citation ISO Certification typically issues certificates over the period of a ten year contract.

Citation ISO Certification is committed to making ISO certification affordable for all our clients. The cost varies depending on multiple factors such as your industry sector, annual turnover, number of employees and more. However, you can use our free calculator to gain an instant quote.

Individuals cannot be ISO certified.

A management review is a structured meeting held at least once a year. It is an essential part of your management system maintenance and is a way of checking that your management system still meets the needs of your organisation and that you are still complying with it.

A management review can be held at a frequency that suits you and your business, but to meet the requirements of your ISO you must ensure that you carry out at least one management review every year.
