The world's most widely held management-system standard. We audit your quality management system against ISO 9001 and, on the evidence, issue certification — independently of the audit team.
ISO 9001:2015 sets the requirements for a quality management system (QMS): consistent processes, clear responsibility, risk-based thinking and continual improvement, all oriented to meeting customer and regulatory requirements.
As an independent certification body, Skyeblanc Certification audits your QMS against ISO 9001 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 an ISO 9001 certificate its meaning.
Certification is delivered under ISO/IEC 17021-1, with auditor competence assured to ISO/IEC 17021-3. The certification decision is 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 QMS, scope and objectives, and audit planning.
On-site or ICT-assisted assessment of the QMS in operation against ISO 9001.
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 9001 is calculated per IAF MD5 — never a flat rate. The main factors:
The number of people — including shifts and part-time — is the primary driver under IAF MD5.
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 9001 is sector-agnostic — its requirements apply to any organisation, of any size, in any industry, that wants an independently verified quality management system. We routinely audit across:
