Certification
ISO does not itself certify organizations. Many countries have formed endorsement bodies to authorize certification bodies, which audit organizations applying for ISO 9001 observance certification. It is important to note that it is not probable to be certified to ISO 9000. Although commonly referred to as ISO 9000:2000 certifications, the actual standard to which an organization's quality administration can be certified is ISO 9001:2000. Both the authorization bodies and the certification bodies charge fees for their services. The various accreditation bodies have mutual agreements with each other to ensure that certificates issued by one of the Accredited Certification Bodies are accepted world-wide.
The applying organization is assessed based on a widespread sample of its sites, functions, products, services, and processes and a list of problems made known to the management. If there are no major troubles on this list, the certification body will issue an ISO 9001 official document for each geographical site it has visited, once it receives an acceptable upgrading plan from the management showing how any problems will be resolved.
