Trust us to be your accredited ISO certification body, delivering credible certifications that verify your organisational excellence.

The stages of an ISO audit can be summarised as follows:

Planning and Preparation:

The audit team reviews the organisation's management system and relevant documentation.
The audit scope, objectives, and criteria are defined.
The audit plan is developed, including the audit schedule and logistics.

Opening Meeting:

The audit team meets with the organization's management to discuss the audit plan, scope, and logistics.
Roles and responsibilities are clarified, and any concerns or questions are addressed.

Document Review:

The audit team reviews the organization's documented procedures, policies, and records to verify compliance with the ISO standard.
This stage helps identify potential nonconformities or areas for improvement.

Site Inspection and Interviews:

The audit team conducts on-site observations and interviews with relevant personnel.
This stage allows the auditors to verify the implementation and effectiveness of the organization's management system.

Nonconformity Identification:

The audit team identifies any instances where the organization's practices do not meet the requirements of the ISO standard.
Nonconformities are documented, and the organization is required to address them.

Closing Meeting:

The audit team presents their findings, including any nonconformities and areas for improvement.
The organization's management is given the opportunity to provide feedback and discuss the next steps.

Audit Report and Follow-up:

The audit team prepares a detailed report summarizing the audit findings, nonconformities, and any recommendations.
The organization is required to develop and implement corrective actions to address the identified nonconformities.
The audit team may conduct a follow-up audit to verify the effectiveness of the corrective actions.

Certification or Recertification:

If the organization demonstrates compliance with the ISO standard, it may be awarded the corresponding certification.
For recertification audits, the organization must demonstrate continued compliance to maintain its certification.
The duration and complexity of each stage may vary depending on the size and complexity of the organization, the scope of the audit, and the specific ISO standard being evaluated.
