ISO Advisory
Which ISO standard do you actually need?
Most organisations arrive with a tender clause or customer request. Start from the problem, and we’ll map it to the right standard — or combination — and a realistic plan.

Plain-English guide
Three things people call “ISO certification”
1. Your organisation’s certificate
Issued by an independent, accredited certification body after it audits your management system. We help you get ready — we don’t issue it, and nobody can honestly guarantee the result.
2. A person’s training certificate
Earned by an individual who completes a course such as Internal Auditor or Lead Auditor. Where a course carries a specific accreditation or exam, the course details state it.
3. Laboratory accreditation
Testing and calibration labs are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 by a national accreditation body — EIAC in the UAE, SAAC in Saudi Arabia — rather than certified.
