ISO Certification in India

What is ISO Certification?

ISO Certification is a seal of approval from a third party body that a company runs to one of the international standards developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The ISO are an independent, non-governmental international organization who brings together experts to share knowledge and develop international standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.


Common benefits across all ISO standards include: Increased efficiency Reduced costs Improved customer satisfaction More engaged employees Reduced risks Reduced insurance premiums Helps with tendering By maintaining an ISO certification you are proving your organizations commitment to achieving your objectives and increasing the credibility and customer confidence in your product or service.


The most common ISO Standards:

ISO have thousands of international standards, across dozens of industries. However, some of their standards transcend these boundaries. Let’s take a look at five of the most common standards.

ISO 9001 Quality Management:

This is the cornerstone standard that organizations should have, with the most recent version being ISO 9001:2015. While there are a few standards within the ISO 9000 family (which covers quality management), the ISO 9001 is the only standard which you can be certified in. There are several industry specific cases based on this standard (e.g., Aerospace which uses AS9100D). 

The business processes and procedures will reside in a system of some form, often referred to as a Quality Management System (QMS), but in principle the standard exists to: 

  •  Ensure the products and services provided are as defined in requirements. 
  •  Have a mechanism in place that monitors the effectiveness of the quality management system and its outputs, along with processes and procedures to prevent the escape of non-conforming products and services.
  •  Ensure that roles and responsibilities for the management system and its activities which it contains are clearly defined and that stakeholders and top management are accountable for what is produced. Embed a programme of continual improvement.

ISO 14001 Environmental Management:

This standard is designed to help organisations fulfil their obligations under the Environmental obligations. 

This standard integrates well with ISO 9001 and other quality management standards. Rather than having an Environmental Management System (EMS), some organisations integrate it with their Quality Management System (QMS) and refer to it as an Integrated Management System (IMS). 

The primary purpose of this standard is to: 

  • Meet legal obligations 
  • Improve resource efficiency 
  • Reduce waste 
  • Reduce environmental impact 
  • Reduce risk Reduce costs.

ISO 45001 Health and Safety:

Released in 2018, ISO 45001 is based on OHSAS 18001. Containing the basic elements of ISO 9001. 

Its primary function is to: 

  • Reduce occupational injuries and diseases 
  • Promote and protect physical and mental health.

ISO 27001 Information Security:

In both the modern workplace and individuals’ personal lives, we place a lot of our information in paper and electronic systems. 

ISO 27001 is designed for information security management, and helps protect:

  • Confidentiality – by allowing only authorised persons to access relevant information and not everything an organisation has on file. Information Integrity – ensuring only trained and authorised individuals can change records.
  • Availability – information to be available to authorised persons on demand. ISO 27001 also focuses more than ISO 9001 on risk and risk-based thinking.

ISO 44001 Collaborative working:

In the past a single organisation would often design, build, and deliver a complete project. Companies are now starting to specialise and are becoming global entities. This means many projects to use two or more entities to deliver the output. 

ISO 44001 is a mechanism to setup, manage and conclude agreed working practices. Based around the core clauses of ISO 9001’s quality management principles, ISO 44001 focuses around: 

  • Planning, identifying the benefits of other parties and developing a business case 
  • Developing a high-quality model 
  • Developing value 
  • Awareness and communication 
  • Managing and monitoring the relationship 
  • Exit strategy

Validity:

Generally ISO certificate will be valid for 3 years subject to surveillance.
