What Is Audit Advisor?
Audit Advisor is an independent service that helps UK organisations find and compare accredited certification bodies.
Instead of contacting certification bodies one by one and repeatedly providing the same company information, you can use one request to identify relevant providers, choose which organisations you want to contact, and compare the quotes you receive.
Audit Advisor does not conduct certification audits and does not make certification decisions. Those activities are performed by the certification body you ultimately choose.

What Happens After You Submit a Request?
The certification bodies you select receive your request and review the information independently. If they are interested in the opportunity and have the relevant capability and availability, they may contact you for additional information and prepare a certification quote.
The number of quotes you receive and the response time may vary by certification body. Receiving a quote does not require you to sign a contract or proceed with certification.
You can compare the responses and decide whether any of the offers meets your requirements.

Why Is Audit Advisor Free?
Audit Advisor is free for organisations requesting certification quotes. You do not pay Audit Advisor to search for certification bodies, submit a request, or compare the quotes you receive.
Audit Advisor may receive fees from certification bodies through partnership arrangements. This does not remove your ability to choose which certification bodies receive your request.
Certification fees themselves are quoted and charged by the certification body you choose.

What Does Accredited Certification Mean?
Certification and accreditation are different.
A certification body audits an organisation and, after completing the applicable certification process, makes the certification decision.
An accreditation body evaluates certification bodies for competence, impartiality, and conformity with applicable accreditation requirements.
In the United Kingdom, UKAS is the national accreditation body appointed by government. UKAS accredits management system certification bodies against standards including ISO/IEC 17021-1.
Before signing a certification agreement, verify that the certification body's accreditation is current and that its accreditation scope covers the certification you require.

How Does the ISO Certification Process Work?
The exact certification process depends on the standard and certification scheme, but a typical management system certification process includes:
Request a Certification Quote
The organisation requests a certification quote and provides information about its scope, sites, activities, and workforce.
Application Review and Quote
The certification body reviews the information and determines the proposed audit duration, price, and certification arrangements.
Certification Audit
After the parties agree on the terms, the certification body plans and conducts the required certification audit.
Address Nonconformities
If nonconformities are identified, the organisation may need to complete corrections or corrective actions in accordance with the certification body's applicable procedures.
Certification Decision
The certification body reviews the audit results and completes its certification decision process.
Surveillance and Recertification
If certification is granted, the certification cycle continues with surveillance activities and subsequent recertification in accordance with the applicable certification programme.
What Affects ISO Certification Cost?
There is no single certification price that applies to every organisation. Certification bodies prepare quotes after reviewing the information needed to determine the audit and certification requirements.
Common cost factors include:
For an initial planning estimate, use the Audit Advisor Certification Cost Calculator. The final price is determined by the certification body.
Estimate Certification Cost Common cost factors include:
- the certification standard or combination of standards;
- the number of employees;
- the number and location of sites;
- the intended certification scope;
- the organisation's activities and process complexity;
- the required audit duration;
- auditor travel and related expenses;
- scheme-specific certification requirements.

How Long Does ISO Certification Take?
There is no guaranteed certification timeline that applies to every organisation.
Timing can depend on your management system readiness, the number of sites, audit duration, auditor availability, scheduling, the certification scheme, any nonconformities identified during the audit, corrective actions, and the certification body's review and decision process. For planning purposes, Audit Advisor recommends allowing at least six weeks from submitting the certification application to the certification decision, even for a well-prepared organisation. Actual timing may be longer.
If you have a contractual or customer deadline, include it in your request and compare the proposed schedules offered by certification bodies.

How to Compare Certification Bodies
-
Verify accreditation status and scope
Check the certification body's current accreditation status and applicable scope. For UKAS-accredited certification bodies, verify the details in the UKAS public directory and accreditation schedule. -
Compare the total cost, not only the headline price
Review what is included in the quote and ask about travel expenses, administrative charges, surveillance costs, and other potential fees. -
Compare proposed timing and auditor availability
If certification is required by a particular date, confirm whether the proposed audit and certification schedule is realistic for your organisation. -
Review travel and audit arrangements
Ask where the auditors will travel from and whether travel expenses are included or charged separately. -
Consider relevant industry and scheme experience
Experience with your industry, processes, and certification scheme can be an important factor when evaluating a provider. -
Understand the certification terms
Clarify how nonconformities, corrective-action reviews, surveillance activities, scope changes, transfers, and additional work are handled before signing an agreement.
