The international standard for organisational resilience. We audit your BCMS against ISO 22301 and, on the evidence, issue certification — independently of the audit team.
ISO 22301:2019 sets the requirements for a business continuity management system (BCMS): understanding the organisation, planning for disruption, implementing continuity strategies, and exercising and improving them so critical activities survive.
As an independent certification body, Skyeblanc Certification audits your business continuity management system against ISO 22301 and, where the evidence supports conformity, issues certification. We do not design, document or improve your system — that separation is a requirement of ISO/IEC 17021-1 and is exactly what gives a ISO 22301 certificate its meaning.
Certification is delivered under ISO/IEC 17021-6, with the certification decision made by an independent decision-maker who did not conduct your audit.
The same defined path for every applicant — the certification decision held independent of the audit team.
A readiness review of your documented BCMS, scope and objectives, and audit planning.
On-site or ICT-assisted assessment of the BCMS in operation against ISO 22301.
An independent decision-maker reviews the evidence and grants — or declines — certification.
Annual surveillance audits, then a full recertification at year three renews the cycle.
Audit duration for ISO 22301 is determined per IAF MD5 — never a flat rate. The main factors:
The number of people — including shifts and part-time — is the primary driver of audit duration.
How many sites and where. Multi-site sampling follows IAF MD1.
The range of activities and processes within your certified scope.
Operations across multiple shifts can extend on-site audit time.
Transfers from another accredited body are reviewed under IAF MD2.
On-site or ICT-assisted remote auditing per IAF MD4, matched to risk.
Fees are fixed for the defined audit programme. A fixed fee covers the audit; it never buys an outcome — certification is granted only on the evidence, by an independent decision-maker.
ISO 22301 applies to any organisation that needs to keep operating through disruption. We routinely audit across:
