ICV Assessments combines industry expertise, accredited audit processes and practical guidance so organizations achieve certification with clarity and lasting improvement.

An audit is the process by which a company shows evidence of working to the required system
and this is a compulsory element of the ISO systems. A qualified auditor will attend your premises
in order to assess your management system against the ISO Standard that you are certified to, and
will provide you valuable suggestions & gaps in your system after see evidence resulting from the
companies processes and procedures to ensure the system is being used and maintained on a
regular basis.


The auditor will make a report, analysing your management system & also provide you with
recommendations for improvement that will have been agreed with you to assist you to drive the
system forward to enable continuous improvement, thus getting the most out of the standard/s.


Auditing is a required element of the ISO Standards. It is the proof that the system you have
implemented is fit for purpose and continually improving. It is the regular check that you are
managing the system/s consistently.

It is important to understand that what is accreditation, IAF & accredited ISO certification. You can quote the term “certified from an accreditation or ISO accredited body” when your certification provider has achieved an accreditation from any recognised accreditation with a mark of IAF.

Accreditation board is recognised by government and they act as the governing body for certification companies. Please note that there is only one true accreditation board in each country and any other forms of ‘accreditation bodies’ maybe be misleading. Most of the accredited certificates have IAF Mark.

ISO Certification costs depend on the size & process of an organization. If you decide to have certificate for more than one standard at the same time, there are some preferential fees available. We provide certification with good cost, which means once we have understand your requirements and sent you a formal quotation, this fee is then set. We will not charge you any extra then what is specified, so that you know from the outset your costs and the payment method.

We aim for a 2-3 week delivery period, but again it may vary from organisation to organisation. We will never delay the process, however we understand that things can happen that may a small delay. After the quotation has been accepted and the deposit payment has been received you can quote to your clients that you have entered the process. After the certification process as per our company procedures, you have achieved the ISO certification.

ISO certification provides commitment to your stakeholders, employees and senior management that the organisation operate on a set framework in order to achieve its company objectives. By maintaining an external certification it is proved the company’s commitment to these objectives as well as increasing the credibility and customer confidence in the brand / service or product.

Almost public and private sector ask for ISO certification as either a requirement or as a filter to escape supplier companies from the vendor process. By achieving the ISO certification from accredited certification body ensures that you are maintaining your management system and improves your chances of successfully tendering. It can also ensure a smooth line of communication between employees, suppliers and customers at all times.
