ISO certification confirms that a company meets international standards for quality, sustainability and safety. An ISO standard describes international standards developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Audits are used by an external certification body, such as DEKRA, to assess whether the organisation's management system complies with the designated ISO standards.
The variety of ISO standards
The International Organization for Standardization constantly develops and updates these standards. When an ISO certificate is issued by an accredited certification body, it ensures increased customer confidence.
ISO certification for management systems
ISO certification applies to a wide range of topics within an organisation. The standards apply to processes, products, services or systems. At DEKRA Audit, we are accredited for an extensive scope and certify management systems in the following areas:
No, ISO certification is not mandatory. It is a voluntary certification, which enables you to demonstrate that you are in control of your organisation. However, some sectors or customers may require ISO certification as a condition of doing business with you.
DEKRA's approach to ISO certification
You are ISO certified when an accredited external certification body, such as DEKRA, has audited your organisation's processes. A certification process at DEKRA consists of set steps. DEKRA assesses the functionality, effectiveness and performance of your business processes, in relation to the risks your organisation faces. We assess these processes on the basis of the established standard, a set of rules that must be met. The ISO standard is important to make certification possible, but the main focus is on actual functionality and performance of the management system for your organisation, customers, employees and other stakeholders.
