Preparing for certification can be more easier than you think.
How to get certified to an ISO standard.
Step 1: Obtain the standard
-
Buy a copy of the required Standard and familiarize yourself with the requirement.
-
Research the wealth of information available, both published and web based, that can help you navigate and implement the Standard.
Step 2: Assemble your team, review ISOQAR Africa training courses and define your strategy
-
Senior management commitment and involvement is crucial – they decide on the business strategy that needs to be supported by the management system.
-
Look to work with an external consultant to assist with both defining your strategy as well as the actual implementation.
-
Establish a dedicated team to develop and implement the management system – they may require training to equip them with Standard specific knowledge.
-
Look at our training courses to find out how we can help.
Step 3: Develop your management system (documentation and procedures)
-
Your management system should document all of your organisation’s policies and processes for managing its activities.
-
Establishing process performance monitoring, identifying areas of weakness, analyzing problems and implementing continual improvement measures allow you to focus on customer and business needs.
-
Procedures describing the key processes of your organisation will help you to establish a culture of best practice within your organisation.
Step 4: Implement your management system
-
Effective communication and appropriate training are key to successful implementation, to ensure that the whole organisation is working in accordance with your procedures.
-
Keep controlled records, so that you can demonstrate how effective your management system is.
-
After your internal audit, conduct a management review and ensure any corrective actions are fulfilled to ensure its continuing suitability and effectiveness.
Step 5: Book your certification assessment with ISOQAR Africa
-
Continual improvement is central to the main objectives behind implementing any management system, and its effectiveness depends in part on working with a certification partner who understands the importance of continually looking for opportunities to refine and improve your business operations.
-

Following certificate assessment

On successful completion, we’ll issue a certificate of registration, clearly outlining the scope of your certification.
-
Our certificates carry the UKAS “Crown and Tick” logo – essential if your certificate is to be recognized by clients, partners and other stakeholders.
