• Q. How do I identify a genuine ISO 9001 certification?
• Genuine certifications are issued by a certifier who, in the UK, has been UKAS approved and uses the UKAS logo. There are three ways of checking the certificates are genuine:
  1. Get a copy of the organisation certificate and check for the UKAS logo and that it is within the expiry date. You may also find it worth checking the scope statement on the certificate.
  2. Contact the issuing certifier and check that the ISO certification is valid. Some certifiers have a search facility on their website.
  The same approach can be applied to a number of other ISO certification like ISO 13485 and ISO 14001.
• Q. Why do companies go for ISO 9001 certification?
• • The company has grown to the size they want to bid for public or utility contracts which require EN ISO 9001. It is also common for larger companies to require ISO 9001 certification as part of their contract.
  • A company has grown to the complexity that the owners or directors are losing control. ISO 9000 brings order and discipline to an organisation's activities.
  • Some organisations believe in the principles of quality product and service; learning from mistakes; continuous improvement and listening to ones customers.
• Q. Who can be ISO 9000 certified?
• Any organisation or business can implement a quality management system to ISO 9001. There are a number of derivative standards such as ISO 13485 for medical equipment or TickIT for software development. In our experience the return on investment is poor for organisations of four or less staff working at a single site.
• Q. How long does it take to get certified?
• Typically a small business of fewer than 30 people can use Winning Solutions Ltd to generate the documents in one month for stage 1 assessment. Then the management system needs to operate for three months to the documented system before the second and final ISO 9001 assessment. Then certifiers often take a month to do their internal checks and issue certificates. This can be achieved in faster timescales. Contact Winning Solutions Ltd.
• Q. How much does it cost to prepare an ISO 9001 system for certification?
• Winning Solutions Ltd writes ISO quality documents around the existing processes of the company and so minimises changes. Consequentially we are happy to give fixed-price quotes for organisations of under 30 people. Contact Winning Solutions Ltd.
• Q. I have not maintained my quality system all year and the assessor is due next month. Can this be recovered?
• Yes, a Quality Consultancy such as Winning Solutions can perform quality audits, review and action to prevent major non-conformities. Contact Winning Solutions Ltd.
• Q. Is ISO 9002 certification different to ISO 9001?
• ISO 9002 was the standard for quality manufacturing up until 2000 when ISO 9001:2000 was published giving flexible scope and so incorporated the old ISO 9002.
