Management system certification

What are the benefits of management system certification?

Management system certification provides a proven framework for the establishment, maintenance and continuous improvement of internal quality processes and other processes. It represents a global reference for market access and a ticket to trade.

Why choose Nemko for management system certification?

Nemko has a team of well-qualified and experienced auditors that provide certification to an array of ISO standards in several countries. In addition, Nemko is the Norwegian member of IQNet, the International Certification Network with 37 cooperating certification bodies throughout the world. If the certification process is successful, customers receive both a Nemko certificate and an IQNet certificate and can use Nemko's certification logo (rules apply).

All employees working in Nemko follows the internal Code of Conduct.

We can also offer training in auditing techniques, quality and environmental management as well as risk management.

What needs to be in place before starting the ISO process?

The management system subject to audit and certification must be documented and implemented and in operation for at least three months. Prior to a certification audit, the customer must be able to document that internal audits and management reviews have taken place. Based on experience, it is beneficial to start the communication with Nemko at an early stage in the process of preparing for certification.
