Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about industry standards and compliance.

ISO certification demonstrates your commitment to quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. It can improve processes, enhance credibility, and open doors to new business opportunities, especially in regulated industries.

The certification process typically takes 3-6 months for small to medium organizations, and 6-12 months for larger organizations, depending on the standard and the organization's readiness.

While most ISO standards are voluntary, many organizations require their suppliers to be certified to specific standards like ISO 9001. Some industries may have regulatory requirements that align with these standards.

ISO standards are typically reviewed every 5 years to ensure they remain relevant and effective. Minor updates may occur more frequently, while major revisions follow the 5-year cycle.
