Frequently Asked Questions

Questions? Email us directly — we respond within 24 hours.

Certification is a third-party attestation that an organization, product, or person meets specific requirements (e.g., ISO 9001 certification). Accreditation is a higher-level recognition that a body performing certification, testing, inspection, or calibration is competent to do so — granted by a national accreditation body. Accreditation provides the authoritative backing that makes certification credible and internationally recognized.

Timelines vary by standard and accreditation body, but typically: ISO 17025 (12–18 months), ISO 17020 (12–18 months), ISO 17065 (18–24 months). With our support, organizations are typically fully prepared for the accreditation assessment within 8–14 months, depending on their starting point and available resources.

We have experience with accreditation bodies across North America (ANAB, A2LA, SCC), the GCC and MENA region (EGAC, SAAC, ESMA, QAC), and internationally. We help you select the most appropriate accreditation body for your geographic scope, industry sector, and business objectives.

Yes. We provide targeted support to analyze non-conformities, identify root causes, design effective corrective actions, and prepare the written responses required by your accreditation body. We also help implement systemic improvements to prevent recurrence and strengthen your overall accreditation compliance.

We provide both on-site and remote consulting. Many clients benefit from a hybrid approach — remote support for documentation development and advisory, with targeted on-site visits for critical milestones such as gap assessments, staff training, internal audits, and mock assessments. We serve clients across North America, the GCC, and internationally.
