List of ISO Certification Bodies
There are various certification bodies operating across the world that offer audits, assessments and certifications against various ISO Standards. Unfortunately, many organizations get duped and cheated by the fly-by-night kind of certification bodies offering un-accredited ISO certificates or offering ISO certificates with a fake accreditation body or the one issued by the so-called certificate mill that issues ISO certificates without the due process of audit, proper assessment and in violation of audit standards.
Sterling International Consulting, being at the forefront of business excellence, recommend our clients choose their certification body very carefully. Do not get allured by super low cost, no-audit/easy-audit promise, 3-year cost with no surveillance audit or free surveillance audit fees etc. – these are all traps and will result in a big risk to your business, your contracts and your reputation.
