ISO Certification: Choosing Bodies, Standards, and Costs. Selecting a credible certification body is essential. It must be authorized and follow international CASCO standards to ensure global recognition.

• IAF Accreditation Body
  The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) conducts global conformity assessments. These certificates are highly recognized worldwide but generally involve higher costs.
• Non-IAF Compliance Body
  Non-IAF or IAF-compliant bodies offer authentic ISO certification at a lower cost, making them an ideal, budget-friendly choice for small and mid-sized businesses.
• Popular ISO Standards
  Common standards include ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 27001 (Security), ISO 14001 (Environment), and ISO 45001 (Health & Safety).
• Estimated Duration
  Certification timelines vary by scale: Small firms (6–8 months), Medium firms (8–12 months), and Large firms (12–15 months).
• Cost Considerations
  The total price depends on company size, operational processes, and risk levels. Non-IAF certifications are generally more budget-friendly for startups.

Selecting the appropriate certification body ensures legal compliance, operational clarity, and alignment with your business’s specific growth objectives.
