• Certification audit performed in 2  stages:

1. Stage 1. Readiness review  performed to verify that the  organization is ready for certification
2. Stage 2. Evaluation of  implementation, including the effectiveness, of the management system of the organization

• A certificate valid for 3 years is issued upon satisfactory results of stage 2  audit.
• Surveillance audits to verify that the management system continues to fulfill  the requirements of the standard and monitor the continual improvement.
• Re-certification after 3 years to confirm the continued conformance and  effectiveness of the management system as a whole.

Customers are the lifeblood of any business! To keep customers – and to  keep them satisfied – your product or service must meet their requirements.  ISO 9001 provides a framework for taking a systematic approach to managing  your business processes to meet those requirements. It is a set of common and  stable requirements for at least the next 10 years which will not only give you a  standard platform for continuous growth but also a competitive advantage among  your competitors.
