Management System Standards

ISO Certification

Multiple management system standards. One consistent implementation methodology. Explore the standard that best fits your organisation below, or speak with our consultants if you are unsure which standard or certification applies to your business.

What is ISO?

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is an independent, non-governmental international organisation that develops voluntary International Standards to help organisations improve quality, safety, efficiency and consistency across products, services and processes. Based in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together national standards bodies from countries around the world and develops standards covering a wide range of industries and business activities.

With thousands of standards available, including industry-specific and generic management system standards, choosing the right standard can be challenging. We help you understand the requirements of each applicable standard, identify the most suitable certification for your organisation, implement the necessary management system, and achieve practical operational benefits from certification.

Our consultancy support is designed for both initial certification and renewal or recertification engagements, helping organisations establish, maintain and continually improve effective management systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which ISO standard should my business start with?

Most organisations start with ISO 9001 (Quality Management), since it forms the structural foundation many other standards build on. From there, standards like ISO 14001 or ISO 45001 are often added based on sector and risk profile.

How long does ISO certification take?

It depends on organisational readiness and scope, but a typical first-time implementation runs from a few weeks for a small, well-documented business to several months for larger, multi-site organisations.

What documents are required for ISO certification?

Typical documented information includes the scope of the management system, policy and objectives, organisation charts, process maps, procedures, work instructions, records, internal communications and forms — tailored to the standard being implemented.

Can an MSME get ISO certification?

Yes. MSMEs are certified against the same ISO standards as larger organisations, and may also be eligible for the Government of India’s ZED certification scheme, which is specifically designed for MSMEs.

Is ISO certification mandatory?

Generally no, though customers, tenders, regulators or export markets may require specific certifications as a condition of doing business.

What is the difference between ISO consultancy and certification?

OMCS, as a consultant, helps you understand and implement the standard. The certification audit and issuance of the accredited certificate is carried out independently by an accredited certification body.
