Ep 12 - Steps on How to ''Get'' ISO Certified

What’s it take to get ISO 9001 Certified? Darci and Kyle Chambers
host of #QualityMatters podcast are discussing a blog post Kyle
publish discussing what it takes to ''Get'' ISO and details about
each step in the process. GAP Analysis – This is a short audit
intended to gauge where you are, what your business processes look
like, and make a plan to get you certified and compliant to your
customer and regulatory requirements Consultation –  We
will be with you step by step, every procedure, every form to make
sure you’re headed in the right direction. Internal Audit –
Similar to the GAP Analysis the Internal Audit is a full assessment
for your entire Quality System, and will be conducted annually to
verify conformance, identify gaps and needs for corrective action.
Management Review  – We will develop the management
review together and present it to the entire management team as a
formal method of assessing the suitability of the Quality
Management System to meet internal and external needs.  During
the review the results of the Internal Audit are reviewed and
assessed as well. Stage 1 Audit – This will be your first
3rd Party Audit, and a Registrar (an organization accredited
to perform certification audits) will come and perform what most
call a “readiness review” to assess how well you’re implementing
the requirements of ISO 9001.  Generally this is a 1-2 day
audit.  If nonconformities are identified, you will be
required to issue a Corrective Action and resolve these
nonconformities before the stage 2 audit. Stage 2
Audit –  This is your official “Certification
Audit”.  The same registrar will visit again about 4-6 weeks
after the Stage 1 Audit to conduct a full audit to assess your
compliance to all aspects of ISO 9001. If nonconformities are
identified, you will be required to issue a Corrective Action and
resolve these nonconformities before the certification can be
issued.  You will usually have 30-60 days to resolve any
nonconformities. Certification – Generally you will receive
your certification about 4-6 weeks after the Stage 2 audit, it
takes time to get all of the appropriate sign offs on their end.

vary depending on the complexity of the organization or when
