Prerequisites to get ISO 9001 Certification for your company

Before getting an ISO Certification the following aspects have to be considered:

  • The first thing is to get the right ISO 9001 certification that benefits a business
  • The second step is to find the best ISO registrar who is certified by ISO and follows the CASCO standards to the T. The ISO body can be IAF certified and non-IAF certified. IAF stands for International accreditation forum. An IAF accreditation only adds more credibility to the certificate and an absence of an IAF accreditation does not impact the legality of the certification. It is these third-party agencies who will test the company on behalf of ISO and judge its worth.

    • At Legal Registration, we do the basic groundwork and help find the perfect ISO registrar and the precise certification a firm needs.
