What is an ISO certificate?

ISO Certification is a sign of approval from the International Organization for Standardization that confirms that a company's products, services, or systems comply with internationally recognized standards. Whether your goal is to improve quality management, environmental performance, or information security, acquiring an ISO Certificate proves your organization's compliance and dedication to excellence.

Common Types of ISO Certifications.

 At Agile Advisors, we frequently walk customers through a range of ISO standards. Here are the most popular types:

  • ISO 9001: Quality Management Systems

This is the most popular ISO certification worldwide. It focuses on continually meeting customer needs and increasing satisfaction through an efficient quality management system (QMS).

  • ISO 14001: Environmental Management Systems

This standard assists companies in improving their environmental performance by reducing waste and using resources more efficiently. An ISO certificate in this area demonstrates your dedication to sustainability.

  • ISO 27001: Information Security Management Systems.

With rising data breaches, ISO certification in information security is critical. ISO 27001 guarantees that enterprises have suitable policies and procedures in place for secure data management.

  • ISO 45001: Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.

This standard is intended to reduce workplace injuries and illnesses. Earning this ISO Certificate demonstrates your commitment to creating a safe work environment.

  • ISO 22000: Food Safety Management Systems.

For food sector businesses, this accreditation ensures food safety across the supply chain.

 

How Long Does it Take to Obtain an ISO Certificate?

The time it takes to get ISO certification is determined by a variety of criteria, including your organization's size, the complexity of your operations, and your present degree of compliance with ISO standards. On average, it may take:

 3 to 6 months for small and medium-sized organizations.
