How to Pursue ISO CertificationTo become ISO certified, a business must develop a quality system that meets the requirements specified by one of the following three standards: ISO 9001, ISO 9002 or ISO 9003, depending on your business product or service. Once your quality system has been documented and implemented, you must invite an accredited external auditor to evaluate the effectiveness of your system. If the auditor determines that your quality system meets all of ISO's requirements, they will certify your system. You can then announce to the world that the quality of your products/services is managed, controlled, and assured by a registered ISO 9000 quality system.
