Frequently asked questions
How long does ISO 9001 certification take?
For most small and mid-sized organisations it takes a few months from gap assessment to certificate, depending on how many processes are already documented.
Is the certificate valid forever?
No. The certificate is valid for three years, with surveillance audits each year and a recertification audit at the end of the cycle.
