Why do I need a Consultant?

There is nothing to stop you from doing all the work yourself but experience of over a combined 60 years in the industry has taught us much.

Will we have to change much?

The answer is not much depending on your existing processes. All the consultants will do is record your current working practices as the main part of their work. They then add the support functions that will help the processes be more effective. However, along the way, they may share their knowledge to help improve the processes but that depends on individual clients and their needs

Why do I need to have a Stage 1 and Stage 2 Audit?

From 2008, it was recognised that too many 1st audits were being failed by clients and it became a barrier to others taking ISO Certification. A Stage 1 Audit is to find out if the Client is ready to be audited and please remember that nobody is perfect, there will always be areas that need to be improved. The Stage 1 Audit will find out if there are any MAJOR gaps or holes that need to be fixed BEFORE the STAGE 2.

Why do I need visits every year?

ISO Certification is a continuous process and has to be audited/monitored regularly to ensure continued compliance to the clauses set out in the various ISO standards.

How long between my Stage 1 & 2 and Certification?

As long as you have closed out any findings, the time should be relatively short depending on the Certification Body you use. In IQS Certification, it can be at the click of a mouse. SEE 8 Step Road to Certification
