Isology®: Our ISO Certification Roadmap
1. Plan
As we begin our journey together we start with a plan. Our ISO consultants discuss the best certifications for you, establish times scales, appoint internal leaders, provide resources and decide upon the most suitable certification body. This is the stage where we get to know your overall business goals and how your desired ISO certifications will fit into your long-term plans.
2. Discover
Once all the initial criteria are taken care of, we move onto our analysis. We take a deep dive into your internal systems and establish what is working and where there are gaps. During this time our ISO consultants will be gathering lots of information to ensure a thorough diagnosis of your current position.
3. Expose
This is where we identify risks and opportunities. We look at both internal and external factors than might have an impact on your ISO certifications and your stakeholders. During this stage we conduct a full SWOT and PESTEL analysis whilst looking at some of your competition.
4. Create
Now we have all the information we need to create a bespoke Internal Management System that will capture your company’s unique way of working whilst satisfying all the relevant criteria for you to reach the standards to gain your certification. Your dedicated ISO consultant will work through this system with you and discuss the best way to implement.
5. Launch
Once we’re all happy with the Internal Management System, we develop a launch strategy to get it put in place successfully. We can work with your team to help in any way we can. We create goals and timelines for the implementation, along with touch points and a communication plan throughout this process.
6. Engage
At this point of our ISO certification roadmap, we are ready to plan and conduct internal audits. This is a vital part of the ISO process and, once again, your ISO consultant will be here to help and support you. We can be onsite for your audits and answer any questions you or your team might have.
7. Review
Before the final assessment, we review the implemented process to ensure all the boxes are ticked. Your ISO consultant will identify any final tweaks and changes before helping you to organise an official assessment for your ISO certification.
Beyond our ISO Certification Roadmap
Once you have gained your ISO certification, our support doesn’t stop there. We have a range of ISO Support Plans that will help you keep on top of industry updates as well as keep you prepared for your ISO Certification renewal.
We also offer you access to our isologyhub where you will find a range of resources for further ISO study. Here, we cover all areas of planning, analysis, implementation and review. The best part is it’s all online so you can learn at your own pace and in your own time.

During our internal audit preparations, Ian Battersby’s meticulous attention to detail and thorough approach ensured we were well-prepared for our external audit, which we passed with flying colours. His guidance during the external audit was invaluable.
Based on our engagement and experience, I highly recommend the entire Blackmores team. If you’re considering pursuing ISO accreditations, Blackmores should be your first choice.
