The ISO are an independent, non-governmental international organization that brings together experts to share knowledge and develop international standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.

The cost of ISO standard implementation and certification is a fixed fee from the beginning of your business relationship with IMSM and it will not change throughout the ISO process. The cost is not as much as you might think and is based on the following variables:

  • The standard/s you require
  • The number of company sites
  • The number of employees
  • The amount of support deemed necessary to ensure that your business is prepared and ready for certification.

ISO Certification lasts three years and is subject to mandatory audits to ensure that you are compliant. After the three years to continue with your certification you will be required to do a recertification audit.
