What is ISO Certification?

ISO Certifications are a set of standards that outline the requirements for a Quality Management System. Their purpose is to assist businesses and organisations in developing more efficient operations and improving customer satisfaction.

The purpose of obtaining an ISO Certification is not to impose something new on your organisation, but rather to provide you with a formal, well designed system for guaranteeing the delivery of quality products and services.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) are committed to providing tools for organisations globally to improve the quality of their operations. The ISO standards are revised regularly to keep up with global business trends.

What myths and misconceptions are there surrounding ISO Certifications?

ISO Certifications Are Outdated

ISO standards are regularly updated to reflect the current global business environment. The latest editions incorporate elements such as a focus on stakeholders and the impact of new technology.

ISO standards are designed to be very flexible and adaptable to a variety of contexts. Instead of defining what ‘quality’ and ‘customer needs’ are, for example, it asks the business to define those for themselves and continually improve their processes to reach their objectives.

ISO Certification is Only for Big Businesses

ISO certifications are employed by the full spectrum of businesses. At Integrated Compliance Solutions, our main target market is small to medium enterprises. Small companies may not have internal staff dedicated to compliance, however they can still benefit enormously from implementing ISO standards.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), have several resources outlining the benefits of ISO certifications for small businesses – not just large multinationals.

ISO Certifications are Complicated and Overly Bureaucratic

ISO Certifications may seem difficult to understand at first, however, the standards are founded on simple core business and risk management principles.

Integrated Compliance Solutions are committed to simplifying the process. We specialise in helping your business develop lean, low document ISO management systems which meet all the requirements, while focusing mainly on how you can operate your business more efficiently and profitably.

ISO 45001 Certification Melbourne

ISO 45001 is the internationally accepted standard for occupational health and safety. If your Melbourne business is interested in gaining certification to ISO 45001, our expert consultants at Integrated Compliance Solutions can help.

Published in March 2018, ISO 45001 assists organisations in reducing threats across all operations, taking a proactive approach to risk management and focusing on preventative health and wellness.

It has now replaced the previous OHSAS 18001 standards. To remain compliant, businesses who have achieved compliance to OHSAS 18001 needed to transition to the latest standard before the 1 March 2021. While it isn’t mandatory for those who have AS 4801 certification to make the transition, there are still numerous benefits that becoming ISO 45001 compliant can bring to your business.

ISO 14001 Certification Melbourne

ISO 14001 is an internationally recognised standard that provides a framework for establishing and operating effective environmental management systems.

Compliance to ISO 14001 helps companies cut down on their environmental impact, meet legal requirements, and continually improve their environmental performance. It also makes resource usage more efficient, promotes a sense of environmental responsibility, and shows a clear commitment to responsible environmental management.

ISO 27001 Certification Melbourne

ISO 27001 is an international standard detailing the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS).

Compliance signals a commitment to information security best practices, fostering trust and credibility with key stakeholders.

In an era where digital assets are integral to business operations, ISO 27001 is a valuable framework for establishing a robust and effective ISMS. The standard provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information, helping ensure its confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
