Frequently asked questions
Common follow-up questions about pricing, timing and comparison checks.
Which ISO standard should I start with?
Many start with ISO 9001 (quality), then add ISO 14001 (environment) or ISO 45001 (health and safety) depending on client requirements and risk.
How long does ISO certification take in Devon?
It depends on scope and starting point. Small businesses can often be ready in weeks to a few months with focused effort.
Do I need a consultant to get certified?
Not always, but a consultant can speed up implementation and improve audit readiness, especially if you are new to ISO standards.
What is the difference between consultancy and certification costs?
Consultancy is support to implement the system. Certification costs are paid to a certification body for audits and issuing the certificate.
