Yes. The process is the same as a first-time application — our platform guides you through every step.
Will I receive a physical certificate?
Your certificate is delivered by email as a print-ready digital file, along with approved ISO logos for use in marketing, proposals, and on your website. All certificates are issued by an accredited Certification Body.
How do I verify my ISO certificate is genuine?
Your certificate can be verified instantly at irqao.com using your unique certificate number. Clients, partners, and tender reviewers can confirm its status independently in minutes.
How can my business become ISO certified if no consultant visits my business?
Since Covid-19, remote auditing has become standard industry practice and is fully legitimate under ISO/IEC 17021. Certification Bodies now routinely conduct audits via video conferencing and digital document submission, no site visit required. ISOOnline was built around this approach, delivering full certification support entirely online, with no travel costs, workplace disruption or consultant fees and ongoing support for the duration of your certification.
Is ISOOnline an IAF member?
ISOOnline is a documentation platform, not a certification or accreditation body, so IAF membership does not apply. Note that IAF ceased operations on 1 January 2026. What matters is the accreditation behind your Certification Body — ISOOnline works exclusively with ASCB-accredited Certification Bodies (ISO/IEC 17021), with all certificates verified on the IRQAO.
Are the ISO certificates issued through ISOOnline internationally recognised?
Yes. Every certificate comes from an independently accredited Certification Body assessed against ISO/IEC 17021. Your certificate carries the accreditation body mark, making it valid for government tenders, supplier approvals, and international contracts.
Who actually audits and certifies my business — is it ISOOnline?
No. ISOOnline provides the documentation platform. The audit is conducted by an independent third-party auditors, and your certificate is issued by a separate accredited Certification Body, exactly as legitimate ISO certification is designed to work.
Which certification body will issue my certificate?
ISOOnline works with a panel of ASCB-accredited Certification Bodies. Using a panel, rather than a single body removes conflicts of interest and ensures impartiality. All certificates are listed on the IRQAO register. Contact us before ordering if you have specific regional or client requirements.
What if I have a problem or dispute after certification?
Because your certificate is issued by an accredited Certification Body, you have access to a formal, regulated complaints and appeals process. Under ISO/IEC 17021, accredited bodies are required to maintain impartial, documented complaint procedures.
Will an ISOOnline certificate be accepted for government tenders and large contracts?
Yes. Government agencies and large corporates require ISO certification from an accredited body, ours qualifies. Many clients have used their ISOOnline certificate to access tenders they were previously excluded from.
Is ISOOnline a consultant or an audit company?
Neither. ISOOnline is a cloud-based documentation platform. All documentation is stored on our secure MyISOOnline system, enabling remote third-party audits, eliminating consultant and on-site auditor costs.
Is my business eligible to use ISOOnline?
ISOOnline is designed for SMEs in low to medium risk environments, though larger organisations also benefit. If you operate in a high-risk environment, we recommend consulting a local specialist before purchasing.
Will I need an auditor to visit my premises?
The vast majority of clients certify entirely remotely. In rare cases where a remote audit is insufficient, we arrange a complimentary on-site visit at no extra cost.
What documentation is included in my ISOOnline account?
Your account comes pre-loaded with all templates, policies, procedures, and records required for your chosen standard — stored securely in one place.
Is ISOOnline difficult to use if my team is not technical?
Not at all. ISOOnline was built for non-technical users. Our portal includes explainer videos, step-by-step user guides, downloadable resources and a dedicated help desk, all designed to support your team and remain compliant.
Is my data private and secure?
Yes. All data is stored on encrypted, secure cloud servers and never shared with third parties. Account access is restricted to authorised users only.
Can I access my ISO system from anywhere?
Yes. ISOOnline is accessible from any device with an internet connection, ideal for remote teams, multiple locations, or regions where traditional ISO consultants are unavailable.
