Think you’re ISO Certified? You might not be…

Not all ISO certificates are created equal. An increasing number of certificates aren't what they appear to be.

In this video, Simon Batchelar talks to Paul Everington about a common misconception: many companies believe that having ISO certification will help them secure more work or bid for UK government, defence, aerospace, and MOD contracts. However, without UKAS-accredited certification, these certificates may not provide the expected opportunities.

We explain:

  • The difference between UKAS-accredited ISO certificates and other certificates
  • Why only UKAS-accredited certifications are recognised by government, aerospace and defence contracts
  • How to check if your certification is valid
  • The risks of relying on the wrong certificate
  • What steps you can take to ensure your business is properly certified

Not sure if your ISO certification is the key to unlocking more work? This video will explain how to check and what to do if it's not what you expected.
