Answer:
The answer to this question depends on the stage in implementation of the standard.
If the company implemented the standard and conducted internal audit and management review, than it only need to hire a certification body to conduct certification audit and issue the certificate. In this case, the certificate will be issued rather quickly.
If the company needs to implement the standard first, than it can take form three to six months or even longer, depending on the size of the company,complexity of the processes and also on resources and priority given for the implementation and certification of the standard.
