Certification bodies are organisations that provide an assessment based around the chosen standard of an company e.g. ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 etc.
ISO standards
Such as ISO standards, are documents that contain a set of requirements which an organisation’s management system (or product) needs to comply with in order for it to be certified to that particular standard.
A standard will spell out a list of factors that needs to be done or documented in order to meet it.
The certification body will award a certificate to the organisation to show that they comply once they have achieved the requirements set out in the standard.
Note: A certification body that holds an IAF accreditation will demonstrate that they themselves have met standards of best practice, which includes being impartial.
The certification body assesses whether the system, product or person complies with the certification requirements. There are different kinds of assessment methods, and they can include the assessment, testing or review of data on practical operations based on documents and a written or competence-based qualification in the case of personnel certification. Based on the assessment, the certification body issues a certificate in which it verifies that the management system, product, process or person meets the specified requirements. The certification is valid for a fixed period, after which time a recertification can be performed. The maintenance of the certification may include assessment procedures to be performed during the validity of the certification, such as annually.
Certification bodies covered by accreditation offer their clients management system certification, product certification and personnel certification.
In most cases, certification is a voluntary procedure that can be used to demonstrate that the certified target complies the requirements imposed on it. Certification can also be used to demonstrate compliance with legislative requirements, including those in directives or EU regulations.
Accredited certification bodies are impartial third parties independent of the target of certification, and they must have the competence specified in international standards and other prerequisites for their operations.

- Situation check
Your consultant or internal ISO champion will assess your current systems (or the way you work if you don’t have any formal processes) against the chosen standard. This will provide a list of what needs to be worked on during the implementation phase.
- Implementation
The changes identified above will be carried out resulting in having a formal management system in place that can be assessed against the chosen standard.
- Assessment
The selected certification body will carry out the assessment. IAF accredited certification body is recommended.
- Corrective action
It’s not unusual for an assessment to highlight areas that need correcting before a certificate is awarded. Auditors should provide clear guidance on what needs to be put right. In some cases a further assessment may need to be conducted
- Certification
Once all standards have been met, your certification body will award you with the certificate of your standard. The certification will require renewal every three years, with annual reviews carried out.
