What is an ISO Audit

What is an ISO Audit?


Well, there's nothing really tricky about what an ISO audit is.


Simply speaking, it's the process which an organization undertakes to audit their compliance to
the relevant tenets of the ISO 9001:2015 standard. It is performed by a certified ISO 9001:2015 Lead auditor.


Depending on the complexity of the audit, it can require one of more auditors. This requirement is always discussed in advance with the client company.This is the general statement to what is an ISO Audit.

CoVid 19 has forced the industry to re think its needs with respect to ISO auditing.
ISO auditors are performing more remote or online audits to support the needs of many organizations now.


ISO Certification Consultants Inc, with its partnership certification body, has auditors who are ready to perform these necessary audits for your organization.

ISO Certification Cost

 Things to know There is a large number of searches on Google by people trying to understand the costs associated with performing an ISO audit and ISO Certification. Firstly, its important to note that these are two separate costs. Secondly, ISO Certification Costs or fees are typically based on the scope of work that needs to be performed.

ISO Remote Audit

Remote Auditing for ISO has always been a necessity in situations where a company cannot be easily accessed for any number of reasons. Such as no roads, impassable roads etc. With CoVid 19 in our lives, the IAF has become more accepting of the realities surrounding companies becoming ISO 9001 certified. Many auditors have the additional challenge of getting to a client company now due to travel restrictions and access to facilities restrictions. The Remote ISO Audit has become more accepted and in many cases mandatory or requested by companies.This has become, in many cases, the only way to circumvent the challenges facing our industry due to CoVid 19.  I'm willing to challenge that the future of ISO 9001 auditing has been changed forever and that the remote ISO audit will become more sophisticated with time and the preferred method of ISO certification going forward. The other ancillary benefit to remote audits is the reduction in costs to the client as they no longer have to carr...

Accredited vs. Non-Accredited ISO Auditor

I've had this question raised by people in the past. What is the difference between getting certified by an accredited vs. non-accredited Certification body? To be clear, a non-accredited body is not necessarily an incompetent organization. There can be some very good organizations within those ranks. The problem is, to be a non-accredited organization is easy. Anyone can self declare themselves as a competent certifying body. As a consumer how does one gauge or rate their services? A company wishing to become ISO 9001 certified will be paying money to achieve this certification. They need to spend their money wisely. It's important to note that many organizations including Governments are making it mandatory now that certifications are from accredited certifying bodies. So the choice becomes very clear when confronted by these type of mandatory requirements. When a certifying body states that it's accredited by an orgainzation such as the IAF (International Accreditation F...
