ISO certification for SMME

Answer:

Since you are dealing with lot of different industries, you will have to make sure which ISO certificate does your client require. I will assume that it is ISO 9001:2015 certificate but the process is pretty much the same.

First you need to conduct the GAP analysis to determine to what extent you already meet the requirements of the standard and also what needs to be done in order to achieve the full compliance. Usually, you need to create additional procedures and records and to establish some new processes. Once you determine all activities that need to be done, you should create the Project Plan and define the deadlines, responsibilities and resources for each activity, this is nor a mandatory step but it will help you avoid missing something out. The next step is to implement all the activities and to conduct internal audit and management review to ensure that you are fully compliant with the standard. The final step is to hire certification body to conduct certification audit and issue you the certificate.
