Step by step from preparation to ongoing monitoring
An ISO certification shows that a company has implemented and documented an internationally recognized management system – such as in the areas of quality (ISO 9001), environment (ISO 14001), information security (ISO 27001), or occupational safety (ISO 45001). But how does such a certification actually work? Who checks what – and how long is the certification valid?
Here comes the step-by-step explanation.
🧠 Conclusion
An ISO certification is not a seal, but a continuous improvement process. It demonstrates that a company works in a structured, transparent manner according to international standards – and subjects itself to this quality through regular external assessments.
Those who are ISO-certified have their processes under control – and show it credibly to the outside world.
