India’s ISO Certification Method
Create a statement of work.
A contract should be reached between the applicant and the registrar. This contract typically defines both parties’ rights and obligations and addresses issues such as liability, confidentiality, and access rights.
Review of High-Quality Documents
The ISO auditor will review all of your quality manuals and documents pertaining to the organization’s various policies and procedures. A review of existing work will assist the ISO auditor in identifying potential gaps against the ISO standards.
Make an action plan
Following the ISO auditor’s communication of existing gaps in your organization, you should develop an action plan to close these gaps. Make a list of the tasks that must be completed in order to make real changes in your organization. You may be required to train your employees in order for them to work efficiently while adapting to new procedures. Make sure that all employees are aware of the ISO standards in Bahrain for work efficiency and quality.
Separate certification audit
Initial Certification Examination
Stage 1 and Stage 2 are the two stages of the initial certification audit.
Stage 1: The ISO auditor will review the changes you made to the organization. They will then attempt to identify any potential deviations from the desired quality management system in your systems and procedures.
They will categorize these non-conformities as minor and major. The applicant must carefully assess all of these non-conformities and align them with the desired quality standards by modifying the organization’s techniques and processes.
Stage 2: After all of the necessary changes have been implemented in the organization, the ISO auditor conducts the final audit. The auditor will determine whether or not all non-conformities have been eliminated.
Getting ISO Certification
The registrar will grant you ISO certification once all non-conformities have been addressed and all findings have been documented in the ISO audit report.
