How do I get certified?

Here are the four essential steps to becoming an ISO-certified business.

1. Develop your management system

• Identify your core or business processes.
• Document processes with the involvement of employees.
• Review, approve and distribute the documents to those who need access to the information.

2. Implement your system

• Ensure procedures are being performed as they are described in your documentation.
• Ensure employees are trained properly for the tasks they are performing.
• Create effective reporting systems to cover inspection, testing, corrective and preventive actions, management review meetings, monitoring of objectives, statistical techniques and so on.
• Monitor the effectiveness of your processes through the use of measurable data, where possible.
• Review and take action to improve in the areas required.

3. Verify that your system is effective

• Conduct the audit and review the processes and systems for compliance and effectiveness. Observe, interview people and look at sample records.
• Identify and report the strengths and weaknesses of the management system.
• Take corrective or preventive action as required.

4. Register your system

• Select the appropriate auditing body for external registration.
• Submit your management system documentation for review to ensure it complies with the applicable standard.
• Prepare for review by an external auditor to confirm that the system’s requirements are being satisfied and that the management system is implemented effectively.
