What types of ISO certifications are there and how can you obtain them?

ISO certification is essentially a certificate that proves you have an 'internationally recognized management system.' It demonstrates that you meet the standards set by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) in areas such as quality, environment, and safety.

Having ISO certification when exporting makes it easier to respond to buyer audits, and it is advantageous for securing OEM/ODM contracts or entering the supply chains of large enterprises.

There are many types of ISO certifications. It's important to choose the certification that fits our company's situation.

ISO certification is carried out in a total of 7 stages, from system establishment to auditing. The entire process takes 6 to 12 months.

The cost of ISO certification varies depending on the size of the company and the type of certification. This is organized based on the ISO 9001 standards as of 2026.

You can choose between domestic and global certification bodies. Make sure to check if they are IAF/KAB accredited.

ISO certification needs to be renewed every three years. Additionally, there are annual follow-up audits, so continuous management is essential.
