In order to achieve ISO 9001 certification (or any other ISO accreditation), an organisation must:
- Implement a management system that meets ISO standards.
- Obtain approval from a UKAS-accredited certification body.
We at NPT Management Systems can help you to take care of step 1, but what about the second part?
Choosing your certification body
There are numerous UKAS-accredited certification bodies in the UK, all of whom are qualified to evaluate management systems and award ISO certification where it has been earned. Some ISO certification bodies specialise in certain industries/sectors - such as agriculture, food, or construction - while others provide a more general certification service for British businesses and organisations. Once your ISO-compliant management system is in place, you can seek certification from whichever body is best-suited to your company.
And that's another thing we at NPT can help with - we have close working relationships with a number of ISO certification bodies, and we provide the following service FOR FREE:
- Contact us to explain your certification requirements.
- We will gather quotes from a variety of UKAS-accredited certification bodies.
