About Us

The Certification Group brings together extensive expertise drawn from our management team, auditors, consultants and support staff. Through this combined experience, we are well positioned to support organisations of all sizes and sectors in achieving and maintaining ISO certification.

All certification bodies are required to operate in accordance with internationally recognised standards established by the International Organization for Standardization. The applicable standard for certification bodies is ISO/IEC 17021:2015, which sets out the requirements to ensure professionalism, consistency and impartiality when auditing management systems.

As a registered independent certification body, we are proud to confirm that our operations conform to this standard, providing our clients with confidence in the integrity and credibility of our certification services.

Why take our word for this?

To ensure continued compliance with ISO/IEC 17021:2015, our own management systems are subject to regular, independent assessment by an external accreditation body. For this purpose, we are registered with Accreditation Service for Certifying Bodies (ASCB).

We undergo routine surveillance and reassessment of our auditing practices to verify that we consistently operate in accordance with the requirements of the standard. This provides assurance that our audits are conducted effectively, professionally and impartially, and that our certification decisions maintain the highest level of integrity.
