Achieving ISO certification involves several steps, including:
Understanding the Relevant Standard: Businesses must first understand the specific ISO standard they wish to comply with and its requirements. Implementing the Standard: The business must then implement the necessary processes and systems to meet the standard's criteria. Internal Audit: Conducting an internal audit to ensure that all requirements are met and identifying any areas for improvement. External Audit: Engaging an accredited certification body to perform an external audit and verify compliance with the standard. Certification: If the business passes the external audit, it will receive ISO certification.
