Manufacturing
ISO certification for manufacturers
Accredited certification for the quality, environmental, safety and energy systems customers audit you against.
Certification and audits for manufacturing
Manufacturers are audited often: by customers qualifying suppliers, by buyers in export markets and by their own head offices. Accredited ISO certificates reduce how often each customer needs to come and check, because they show that an independent body has already examined your systems.
We provide accredited certification for quality, environmental, occupational health and safety, energy and asset management systems, and product certification against named standards. Integrated audits let you cover several standards in one visit where your systems are combined.
As a certification body we audit and certify; we do not design your systems or act as your consultant. Where industrial control networks are in scope, our CERT-In empanelled team can audit OT security separately.
What we hear
Pressures we audit against
- 01
Customer supplier requirements
Large customers set supplier quality expectations and ask for ISO 9001 certification as a condition of approval, with their own audits on top.
- 02
Environmental and energy reporting
Buyers and export markets ask for evidence of environmental management and energy performance, often to support their own emissions reporting.
- 03
Workplace safety
Machinery, chemicals and shift work make occupational health and safety a daily risk, and customers and insurers look for systematic control.
- 04
Connected plants
Production lines now connect to IT networks and remote vendors, bringing cyber risk to systems that were designed to be isolated.
