Question :- How is an iso certification achieved? Answer :- ISO develops International Standards, including management system standards. However, it is not involved in the certification to any of the standards it develops. Certification is performed by external certification bodies, which are largely private. Therefore a company or organization cannot be certified by ISO. When a company or organization is certified to an ISO standard they will receive a certificate from the certification body. Even though the name of the ISO standard appears on this certificate, it is not ISO that has issued it. Choosing a certification body When choosing a certification body it is a good idea to: - evaluate several certification bodies - bear in mind that the cheapest could be more costly in the long run if its auditing is below standard - ask whether the certification body implements ISO/IEC 17021:2011, Conformity assessment – Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification management systems, and - ask whether the body is accredited. Accreditation is not an obligation and if an organization is not accredited it does not necessarily mean it is not reputable. Nonetheless, accreditation remains an independent confirmation of competence. Accredited certification bodies can be identified by contacting the national accreditation body in your country.
