With so many certification bodies to choose from, it can be difficult to make a decision about which one is best for your organization. To help you make that all important decision, we’ve put together our seven top tips on what you should consider when making your decision, and for the real cost of your certification, we’ve created this comparison table. This is GITCHIA that cares too much about these fundamental aspect.
Accreditation
Just as Certification Bodies will audit your company to verify your processes, the bodies themselves are accredited by a central body to ensure they uphold the principles of certification. The most recognized of these is IAS and IDA, GITCHIA is accredited by both.
Cost
In some cases, high numbers of staff involved in the same process can reduce the number of audit days required. In other cases, the number of ‘effective staff’ is used as a measure of complexity and can also affect number of days. Generally certification bodies change by the day and the number of days are governed by IAS and IDA. However, the rule around the number of days isn’t that straight forward. GITCHIA certification always save the cost of customer.
Brand & Reputation
Some of the certification bodies have a highly recognizable brand, which can be attractive when considering using the certification mark on stationary and the website. However, some certification bodies operate in niche markets or have a particular reputation within an industry. When selecting a certification body it can be valuable to get feedback from customers, suppliers and competitors regarding their experiences of certification bodies. GITCHIA is most reputed brand all over the globe.
Coverage
ISO Certification is recognized internationally, and if you operate in multiple territories, the coverage of a certification body can be an important consideration. The location of certification body branch offices can vary, and those who are further away from your branches can lead to increased travel costs. Alternatively, if you only operate in one country, then a smaller certification body could offer lower costs and a more personal service. GITCHIA is an international register , World’s leading provider of independent assessment services, global organization, working in over 87 countries recognized by over 12 accreditation bodies. GITCHIA Institute of Global Certification is part of GITCHIA Group offering more than 100 Standard certification and more than 500 professional trainings in 17 technical sectors.
Travel Costs
The cost of travel and accommodation can vary between the certification bodies. Some will include travel within their day rates, however in many cases this will make the day rates look higher than competitors. In cases where certification bodies charge travel and accommodation on top of a day rate, the location of the auditor(s) is an important consideration. Charging travel and accommodation on top does not always make the overall cost more than other certification bodies. We at GITCHIA usually charge very less and facilitate customer for travel cost.
Admin & Management Costs
There can be various other additional costs involved in certification including Application, Admin and Management fees. These can cover a variety of things including the certification’s back office, which is an important part of the certification relationship – as the back office will be responsible for arranging audit dates and dealing with any issues that arise. In some cases, some of these fees can be negotiated. We at GITCHIA usually not charge too much for admin and management.
Other Services
It is also worth considering your future requirements and growth plans when engaging a certification body. Many will provide training services, which can be a real advantage to a company as it grows, while others have specialist services such as compliance software, insurance services and industry analytics.
