Looking for help with getting certified to management system standards?
JASANZ has a Register of accredited bodies who can help.
Begin working your way through the ISO/IEC certification process, which contains five stages:
Stage 1
Gap analysis
The gap analysis is a review of your company against an ISO standard. It identifies gaps in your operations that need improvement to reach certification standard. Once the gap analysis is finalised, your certifier will review the analysis with your management team. The gap analysis will be used as a basis to prepare the compliance documentation.
Stage 2
Prepare your documentation to become certified
The documentation sets out your compliance objectives and processes to follow to ensure compliance.
Stage 3
Developing a management system
You can modify or create a new management system that aims to ensure compliance measures will become integrated into your business.
Stage 4
Implementation
The implementation stage is doing the hard work of embracing the ISO standards so they become integral to your management and operations.
Stage 5
Auditing and continual improvements
Auditing is conducted internally and externally. This step is the final one to prove that you have reached and maintained compliance with ISO certification.
