An ISO auditor explains the cycle of ISO audits and key points of each audit! Key points of each audit and specific examples of MD are also included.
Typically, ISO audits are conducted on a three-year cycle for renewal audits. I will explain the cycle in detail, separating it into cases of new certification acquisition and transfer audits. ■ In the case of new certification Year 1: Initial audit (Stage 1 audit, Stage 2 audit) Year 2: Surveillance audit Year 3: Surveillance audit Year 4: Renewal audit After the renewal audit in Year 4 is completed, there will be two more surveillance audits (over two years), followed by a renewal audit the following year, continuing the three-year cycle. ■ In the case of a transfer (change of certification body) audit In principle, it is possible to inherit the previous audit cycle. Many customers may think that "transferring is quite a hassle," but in our case, it can be done easily if you submit the following documents: - Application form (the sales department will assist in creating this) - Organizational chart (the sales department will assist in creating this) - Latest version of the manual data - Copy of the previous certification body’s certificate - Copy of the previous audit report - If there were any non-conformities in the previous audit, a corrective action report and evidence of corrective actions *We will provide a clear explanation of the surveillance audit in this ISO through related links.

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.
