FAQs - ISO 9001 Certification

When it comes to ISO consultancy services, you probably have some questions in mind.
Here are the top 4 FAQs (frequently asked questions). I hope it helps to clear your mind.
No new hire is required for a small business to handle ISO 9001.
Setting up ISO 9001 quality management system is the most challenging part. An ISO 9001 consultant will assist you with this.
You need to involve ALL employees in ISO 9001 implementation. Staff follow procedures to do daily work.
You will need to appoint one person-in-charge, previously known as QMR, a quality management representative. Be a window person to liaise with the consultant in the start-up. QMR responsibility is to coordinate internal audits, management reviews, risk assessments and certification audits every year. It is not the daily routine work.
For medium or more complex processes organizations, you may consider getting a full-time staff to take care of ISO 9001. To maintain ISO 9001 implementation, ongoing documentation update, continual improvement, customer audit and certification audit.
So, which type of organization are you? I hope this help answer your question.
Practically is about 3-6 months if both organization and consultant commit to the planned schedule.
The process is documentation & training (3 months) -> implementation (3 months) -> certification audit -> receive certificate (6-8 weeks).
They are 2 types of costs in ISO 9001 certification.
Initial cost = consultancy & training fees + certification audit & accreditation fees + calibration fees (if applicable)
Yearly cost = surveillance audit fees + calibration fees (if applicable)
In most cases, the ISO 9001 certificate will issue with 3 yearly of validity.
1 cycle = 1st-year certification audit, 2nd-year surveillance audit, 3rd-year surveillance audit
You will need to re-certify in the 4th year to get the new ISO 9001 certificate.
Recertification cost = re-certification audit & accreditation fees + calibration fees (if applicable)
Your nature of business, the complexity of processes and the total number of employees will determine your total cost.
For your reference, for SMEs with less than 50 employees, the initial cost is around RM20K+-.

You may sometimes have some procedures in place or from previous employment. Thinking it may reduce the documentation work and hope to get a discount.
Questions 1: Does the procedure reflect current work practice?
Questions 2: Does the staff follow the procedure for their daily work?
If your answer is no, it does not correlate with the current workflow.
The answer is yes, which helps your team explain during the interview session.
Either the answer is 'yes' or 'no'. It wouldn't reduce the ISO documentation work.
The consultant will still need to interview your team to understand the current workflow. Provide necessary recommendations if there is a gap in fulfilling ISO 9001 requirements.
