The process of obtaining ISO certification in India involves several critical steps that organizations must follow to ensure compliance with the chosen ISO standards:
Step-1: Make an Application: Once the organization selects an appropriate ISO standard, it must apply through a certified ISO registrar. The application outlines the responsibilities of both the organization and the certification body, including liability, confidentiality, and access rights.
Step-2: Documents Review by Registrar: The certification body reviews quality manuals and documents related to the organization's policies and procedures. This review helps to identify potential gaps that must be addressed.
Step 3: Pre-assessment Needs: The registrar conducts a pre-assessment to identify weaknesses in the quality management system. This step allows the organization to address any deficiencies before the final audit.
Step 4: Prepare an Action Plan: If any gaps are identified, the organization must prepare an action plan to resolve these issues. This often involves training employees to ensure the quality management system meets ISO standards.
Step 5: Onsite Inspection or Audit: An onsite audit is conducted to verify the changes made in the organization. Any discrepancies or non-conformities are categorized as minor or major based on their severity.
Step 6: Final Audit: After all non-conformities have been addressed, the final audit is conducted. If the organization passes, the ISO certification is granted.
Step 7: Surveillance Audits: Periodic audits are conducted to ensure the organization continues to meet ISO standards.
The cost of ISO certification in India varies based on several factors, including the organization's size, number of employees, processes, risk level, and the complexity of the management system. The certification body calculates the fee after considering these parameters.
