ISO Certification

This Certification guarantees your customers that you work with the best practices and quality, as well as the continuous improvement of your process.

At QAlliance we offer certification and auditing of Quality, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.

With certification you demonstrate your commitment to best practices and quality in your organization.

WHAT IS THE ISO CERTIFICATION PROCESS LIKE?

The ISO certification process begins when you decide to promote your company’s Management Systems. The implementation of international standards will help you improve performance, guarantee quality, manage risks and obtain many other benefits that will help your organization improve in every way.

*Confirm or adjust the audit program for certification and appropriate follow-up and surveillance audit activities (including their frequency and duration). Special audits, suspensions1 and/or cancellations are also considered.
** Exchange of information between the client and the certifier (e.g. change of scope); determine if changes to the audit program are required.

1 Suspension occurs in case of failure to address non-conformities arising from the reviews. When the non-compliance is not addressed, a surveillance audit is not received or, due to non-payment, cancellation will occur.

NOTES:
The ISO 9001 certification cycle covers a period of 3 years.
The certification committee is responsible for granting or refusing certification, extending or reducing the scope of certification, suspending or restoring certification, or withdrawing or renewing certification.
Surveillance audits are conducted at least once a year.
The date of the first surveillance audit shall be no later than 12 months from the date of the certification ruling.
The re-certification audit should be planned and carried out before the certification expiration date.

The certification process, once the Management System has been implemented, can take 25 to 30 days if all requirements are met. If you have not yet implemented the Management System, the process can take 6 to 8 months.
