What Does the ISO Guide Contain?
Our ISO Guide helps you choose a certification body to complete your ISO implementation project. This might seem like a simple, final task after rigorously adopting and testing your management system, but it requires the same level of care as any other part of the process.
Each certification body operates in its own way and has its own terms of service. You should find one that meets your needs, and our free ISO Guide Checklist helps you do that. It contains a set of questions you should ask when reviewing a certification body, such as:
- Does the certification body have the correct accreditation?
- Can you expect to receive good service?
- Is the length of your contract appropriate?
- Are there any additional fees you should be aware of?
- How are extra payments handled for closing non-conformities?

Why Is Certification Important?
When implementing a management system, you should follow the specifications set out by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization). These standards establish domain-specific best practices to ensure that organisations operate safely and effectively.
But to make the most of these standards, you should seek accredited certification. Whether focusing on information security or quality management, occupational health and safety, or environmental management, ISO certification demonstrates that your practices meet internationally recognised benchmarks.
Certification will help you:
- Win new business.
- Save on business costs.
- Raise your company profile.
- Stand out from competitors.
