Frequently Asked Questions
Will our ISO standard be UKAS accredited?
Yes. Unless you have specifically requested a non-UKAS standard, all of our management systems are UKAS accredited. Put simply, this is the ‘gold standard’ of accreditation and demonstrates to your clients that you have been audited by an external body.
Can I add another ISO standard to our system in the future?
Certainly. Many clients initially opt for one or two standards and then decide to add to their portfolio. We can integrate your management systems and work with your chosen certification body to gain UKAS accreditation.
How much of my time will it take?
From the start of the project to your Stage 2 audit, we approximate 4-5 hours of your time. This includes initial meetings, uploading of documents to our Sharepoint system and your presence at various points during the Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits. Ultimately, we know you’ve got a business to run so we take on the work load so you don’t have to.
Is everything included in your price?
Totally, there are no hidden fees, travel costs or extra pricing for us to be present at your surveillance audits. Everything is included in the cost including meetings, creating your tailored management system, working with your team and the external certification body and of course, being present at your audits.
Can we choose a different certification company?
Yes, of course. We have great working relationships with many UKAS accredited certification companies across the UK. As the biggest provider to the British Assessment Bureau, we provide you with costs from them as we receive discounted rates, however, you’re free to chose any certification company you prefer.
How long will the project take?
As a general rule, we advise approximately three months from the start of the project, however, this also rely’s on the availability of the external auditors. If a client needs certification quickly, for example they need to be included on a framework or tender, we have experience of getting clients through certification in as little as two weeks. We’re very flexible with our approach so we can work towards your timelines.
Why are your prices so low?
Yes, amazingly, this is a question we are frequently asked! We like to think of a longer term relationship with our clients and that often includes working with them following their successful initial certification. With that in mind, we prefer to offer competitive pricing with the hope that you will become a long term part of the Compliant family.
