ISO Certification
ABOUT ISO
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) management standards are a series of frameworks that help you run your business effectively. ISO certification is proof from a third party, such as ourselves that you comply with an ISO management standard. ISO certification gives your organization credibility. ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies. Member organizations collaborate in the development and promotion of international standards for technology, scientific testing processes, working conditions, societal issues and more. ISO and its members then sell documents detailing these standards. This approval is typically valid for a period of three years, after which the company must recertify that its procedures meet the current form of the standard. This process is to be monitored by the registrar during that period of time.
* IAF ISO: It is a global federation for all the accreditation bodies worldwide, which is known as International Accreditation Forum or IAF. The government and administrations approve work projects only to the IAF approved ISO certified companies as it is required quality audits at regular intervals. Its costly as compare to NON-IAF. Validity of the Certificate is 3 years but every year there is surveillance charges which is 50% of the Registration Amount. If you want to apply any Govt Tender or you want to submit at any Govt Department than IAF ISO is required.
* NON IAF ISO: It’s very less costly as compared to IAF ISO and getting a non-IAF ISO certification is much feasible as it does not require quality audits at regular intervals. Validity of the Certificate is 3 years and there are no surveillance charges. This Certificate does not have any legal value; it is not accepted by the Govt Department or for any Govt/Pvt tenders. It may be use just for branding and promotions. We don’t have any legal responsibilities if this certificate is not accepted by any third parties.
