Our certification process
Our process is designed not only to meet the requirements of a certification body, but also to ensure that our clients receive clear findings and opportunities for improvement to help them continually improve - This is what ISO is about, not just a certificate on the wall.
Global ISO Services is an independent certification body operating to ISO/IEC 17021-1 and ISO/IEC 17065. Every certification follows the same steps: application review, a remote Stage 1 audit, a Stage 2 audit at your premises, the certification decision, then annual surveillance audits and recertification every three years. Where you need certification quickly, Stage 1 and Stage 2 can be completed within 2 weeks.
Full processes and standards are available upon request.
It is our policy that all appointed Assessors shall meet
the criteria stipulated below.
Auditors will have at least 5 years’ experience with an independent, impartial and competent certification body and must hold up to date training for the latest ISO editions in their field – To ensure you get the most from your audit
Global ISO Services auditors keep up to date with current good practice, and none of our auditors are permitted to sign off audits or verify NC’s for any company they have provided consultancy to – This ensures that our audit team remains impartial and our High Standards are maintained
Not to offer consultancy services in any capacity that would create a conflict of interest with the work that they are employed to carry out – We rotate our audit teams on a 2-year cycle to ensure they remain impartial
​
Report findings and opportunities for improvement clearly - A certificate on the wall isn’t what ISO is about
Undertake the audit impartially and within the requirements of Global ISO Services procedures - Also work around your schedule whenever possible
Only raise non-conformities that are based on fact - not conjecture, and we encourage our staff to close out on the day - To avoid revisit fees
To give clear audit findings to all the Businesses we audit
- Our Auditors will identify opportunities for improvement in your business
