Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re implementing the system yourself, then yes, you will need a copy.
As a starting point, we’ve put together a Guide to the Requirements of ISO 9001. It’s free to download, written in plain English, and is a useful introduction to the standard and its requirements.
Our 30 years’ experience tells us that the majority of ISOQAR customers secure more business and benefit from efficiency gains through ISO certification. We would recommend undertaking certification once your business has been operational for three months.
Certification can depend not only on the size of your business, but also how complex the structure is. Alcumus ISOQAR can help you estimate how long certification will take, based on what you, and your customers, define as ‘in scope’ of your certification.
You may choose not to certify all of your sites, services or products.
The narrower the scope, the quicker you can build your Quality Management System. An auditor would ideally like to see that your system has been up and running for three months. An IAN independent consultant can support you to implement your system quickly.
