You can achieve your ISO 20000-1 certification by following these steps:

Initial Discussion and Objective Definition

Engage in in-depth discussions with the team to understand your company, management system, and ISO 20000-1 certification objectives. Through these discussions, you will get personalized and transparent offers that align with your specific requirements.

Step 1

System Evaluation

Following the certification audit, the independent certification board evaluates the results. You will receive an audit report that includes the findings. After meeting all the standard requirements, you will receive a globally recognized certificate.

Step 4

Surveillance Audits

Conducting annual surveillance audits is essential to ensuring continuous compliance with ISO 20000-1. These audits monitor the ongoing improvement of your service management system and business processes, guaranteeing that your company maintains the essential criteria of ISO 20000-1.

Step 5

Project Planning and Pre-Audit (Optional)

For larger certification projects, a planning meeting allows the development of an individual audit program. The pre-audit is an opportunity to assess strengths and areas for improvement in your management system beforehand.

Step 2

Certification Audit: Stage 1 and Stage 2

The certification audit begins with a system analysis (Stage 1) to evaluate your documentation, objectives, management review results, and internal audits. It determines if your management system is adequately developed and prepared for certification. Next, during the on-site system audit (Stage 2), our auditor assesses the effectiveness of all management processes. The auditor provides a detailed presentation of the audit results and potential improvement suggestions, developing action plans collaboratively based on the audit findings.

Step 3

Recertification

The ISO 20000-1 certificate remains valid for three years. Recertification is conducted before expiration to ensure continued adherence to the relevant standard requirements. If the recertification process is successful, we issue a new certificate.

Step 6

How long is the certification valid once attained?

The validity of ISO 20000-1 certification varies depending on the certification body and its specific requirements. Typically, ISO 20000-1 Certification is valid for three years. During this time, organizations are subject to regular surveillance audits to ensure ongoing compliance with the standard. After the initial certification period, organizations can seek recertification to maintain the validity of their ISO 20000-1 certification.
