Explanation of the costs required for ISO certification! 【Audit costs and consulting fees】
A clear explanation of the costs associated with obtaining ISO in a column format!
There are two main types of costs associated with obtaining ISO certification. The first is the examination fee charged by the certification body necessary for obtaining ISO certification. The second is the consultant fee for assistance in preparing for the examination. Regarding the consultant fee, it is not necessarily an expense that must be incurred, but based on my experience, about 90% of companies that are newly obtaining ISO certification typically contract with a consultant to help them prepare for the examination. First, let me discuss the examination fees. In conclusion, examination fees vary depending on the certification body, just like with consulting firms. Additionally, the examination fees may differ based on the customer's industry and size. In our case, the examination fees vary based on the following five conditions: ■ Number of applicable personnel ■ Number of applicable locations ■ Applicable standards ■ Applicable business activities ■ Presence of design and development activities *For detailed information, please refer to the related links.

basic information
[Regarding Consultant Fees] Before discussing consultant fees, there is something I would like to convey first. Our company is not a consulting firm, but a certification body (audit organization). We often receive requests from customers such as, "Could you tell me the consultant fees?" or "I would like to request both auditing and consulting," but as a certification body, we cannot engage in consulting activities, so we would appreciate your understanding in advance. Of course, as auditors, we possess the capability to perform consulting services; however, as a certification body, there are ISO rules that prohibit us from having conflicts of interest with customers or consulting firms, so we ask for your understanding. For the reasons mentioned above, it is difficult to provide detailed information about consultant fees, but generally speaking, the market rate seems to be around 500,000 to 1,000,000 yen per year.

Company information
Our company offers an "ISO standard certification audit service" that flexibly accommodates scheduling for audits, allowing us to complete audits that typically take two days with other certification bodies in just one day. With fewer audit days, the impact on daily operations can be minimized. Additionally, we conduct audits based on practical experience rather than paperwork, allowing you to explain your daily operations as the main focus of the audit. Why is this possible? It is primarily due to our unique feature of employing auditors internally. By hiring auditors in-house, we can optimize audit costs and labor. Furthermore, our auditors are relatively young, enabling us to conduct flexible audits tailored to the field, making it possible to obtain ISO certification without burdening management or on-site personnel, not just in terms of cost. 【Certification Standards】 ■ISO 9001 Quality Management System ■ISO 14001 Environmental Management System ■ISO 27001 Information Security Management System ■ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System (for the construction industry only) *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
