ISO stands for International Organization for
Standardization. It is an international organization dedicated to the
development, establishment and promotion of standards. To date, they have
published more than 22,600 standards and related documents covering all areas,
from production to food safety to accounting and health. Some of the common
standards used are ISO 9001 Quality management system, ISO 14001 Environmental
management system, ISO 45001 Occupational health and safety management system,
ISO 22000 Food safety management system, ISO 27001 Information security
management system.
These standards offer an approach taken by
international experts. The standards themselves are a set of best practices
that define product compatibility, identify security issues, and share
solutions and know-how. For example, ISO standards are the reason why an
American cell phone can be connected to a service in Europe with little
difficulty, why food is offered in a supermarket for eating, and why credit
cards can be used everywhere.
ISO standards are developed by
groups of experts from all over the world who are referred to larger groups
called technical committees. These experts consider all aspects of the
standard, including its scope, basic definitions, and content. The development
of ISO standards is based on a consensus approach and comments from all
stakeholders are considered. The technical committees consist not only of
experts in the relevant field, but also of consumer associations, academies,
NGOs and the government. The country and location of your organization does not
mater for getting your organization certified.
In fact, anyone can give you a sheet that
certifies that you are ISO certified; but not anyone is accepted for the job
(i.e. licensed) - so you need to see if this certification body is accredited
or not. So, there it is - like any other provider, you have to do your homework
and choose the best one for you. Remember to think about the total cost of the
service you receive and the price of the missed opportunity.
Different
Accreditation of the Certification body cost differently. Each certification
body has tied up with different certification body. The CB may charge you
differently than other CB based on the method of calculation of cost in
registration, Certification, Surveillance, Recertification.
It is
important for the certification body to provide the right number of days at a
fair price, but you have also spent for the three-year certification period as
well as the initial cost. The certification authorities usually offer you a
price that covers the entire three years, but it is important to understand
what this does not include in these costs. It is based on the size and scope of
your organization, the scope of certification, the activities and processes that
your organization engages in, and the performance of each of these activities. Although
your certification body may not be able to provide consulting services to you,
it is important to choose a certification body that provides you the right
support at the right time. A competent auditor is what it matters for an better
value addition in the certification process
If you plan
to two or more ISO standards, you can actually ask your certification authority
to do a comprehensible audit of a name. This means that you do not have to go
through individual audits for each system (and pay full fees for each of
these), but you can do an audit for each of these systems - not only do you
save time (integrated audit). takes less time than some separate audits), but -
yes, you pay less
To
effectively implement a quality system or make changes to new ISO requirements,
make sure that personnel are implemented quickly and that new processes are
properly, well-studied, and documented. Existing comprehensive training
programs make it easier for employees to make changes to their daily routine.
In addition, competent and reliable employees minimize the risks and challenges
that help your organization save money.
Get a quota
of more than one certification service to determine all costs, including
inspection visits. Ask the certification body if they offer a special price for
your type of organization.
Beware of
hidden costs. Prevention of unnecessary expenses by discussing the rate with
senior management and divisions and, if necessary, apply for transfer of
certificate from one certification body to other within the same Accreditation.
