Frequently Asked Questions
No. QRC provides independent ISO 9001 audit and certification services only. We do not provide consulting, implementation support, or gap assessments, so there is no conflict of interest in the certification process.
QRC's accredited QMS certification currently covers ISO 9001:2015. ISO 9001:2026 was published in September 2026, and QRC will confirm when certification to the new edition is available.
Yes, within the transition period set under IAF and accreditation body rules, which QRC will share once confirmed. Your ISO 9001:2015 certificate remains valid in the meantime.
Stage 1 reviews your QMS documentation, scope, processes, and quality objectives to determine readiness for Stage 2. Stage 2 verifies implementation and effectiveness of the QMS across the certified scope.
From application to certificate issuance, the process typically takes 6 to 12 weeks depending on organization size, scope complexity, and how quickly findings are closed. Audit days depend on headcount, sites, and processes in scope.
Nonconformities are documented in a clear Nonconformity Report, and minor findings typically need evidence of correction before certificate issuance. Major nonconformities may require a partial follow-up audit, so findings do not automatically mean certification has failed.
Certification follows a three-year cycle with annual surveillance audits in Year 1 and Year 2. A full recertification audit is conducted before the end of Year 3.
