Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to get certified?
This depends on the size of your organisation and the chosen standard. For an average SME, the process from preparation to certificate usually takes 3 to 6 months. This includes implementing the management system and the audit by the certification body.
What does certification cost?
Costs vary widely depending on company size, number of locations and the chosen standard. On average, the annual audit costs for an SME are between €2,000 and €5,000. In addition, there are one-off implementation costs if you hire a consultancy.
Do I need to hire a consultancy?
It is not required, but it can speed up the process considerably. A consultancy helps you set up your management system and prepares you for the audit. Especially for companies without in-house quality expertise this is often valuable.
Which standard suits my company?
The best known are ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 27001 (information security) and ISO 14001 (environment). There are also sector-specific standards such as NEN 7510 (healthcare IT) and ISO 22000 (food safety). We help you find the right match.
How do I choose the right certification body?
Look for accreditation (the Dutch accreditation body, UKAS or similar) - this guarantees international recognition. Through CertificeerWijzer you only work with accredited certification bodies, so you do not need to worry about that. Also look at sector experience, availability of auditors and value for money.
What does accreditation mean and why does it matter?
Accreditation means that a certification body has itself been checked by an independent supervisor, such as the Dutch accreditation body. This guarantees that your certificate is recognised internationally and that the audit is objective. Read more about how the certification chain works
Am I committed to anything?
No, nothing at all. You are free to decline quotations, choose another certification body, or decide not to certify at all. No obligations, no small print.
