ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 readiness
International standards for quality (ISO 9001), environmental (ISO 14001) and occupational health and safety (ISO 45001) management. Certification is often required by corporate customers and in tenders.

Who needs it
Suppliers to mines, government, energy companies and large corporates, and any business that wants a structured way of working.
Who decides
An independent certification body, which should be accredited in South Africa by SANAS.
What certification requires
- A defined scope for the management system
- A policy and measurable objectives
- Documented processes, procedures and records
- An assessment of risks and opportunities
- Staff who are trained and understand their roles
- A completed internal audit and management review

We prepare and implement the system. The certificate itself is issued, or not, by the independent certification body.

Frequently asked questions
Do you issue ISO certificates?
No. Certificates are issued by independent certification bodies. We prepare your management system so you're ready for the certification audit.
Can we implement more than one standard at once?
Yes. ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 share a common structure, so many businesses build one integrated management system.
Why use a SANAS-accredited certification body?
SANAS is South Africa's national accreditation body. Customers and tenders usually ask for a certificate from an accredited body.
