Frequently asked questions

Do you issue ISO certificates?

No. Certificates are issued by independent certification bodies. We prepare your management system so you're ready for the certification audit.

Can we implement more than one standard at once?

Yes. ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 share a common structure, so many businesses build one integrated management system.

Why use a SANAS-accredited certification body?

SANAS is South Africa's national accreditation body. Customers and tenders usually ask for a certificate from an accredited body.
