What we actually do
We write down the process you already run, find the gaps an auditor will ask about, and agree the documents you will keep: who approves a job, how a complaint is recorded, how a record is stored. Then we coordinate the certification body. You attend the audit. We do not sit the audit in your place, and we do not promise the result.
Ask the body whether it is accredited for that standard before you pay its fee. Accreditation is what lets a tender trust the certificate. We will say if a quote is from a body we would not put in front of a buyer.
When to skip it
If no buyer, tender or marketplace has asked for a named standard, do not buy one to decorate a website. A D-U-N-S Number, Udyam or GSTIN is often the document they actually meant. We read the checklist they sent before anyone spends a certification fee.
Questions people ask before they pay
Can you print an ISO certificate this week?
No. A certification body audits, then issues the certificate if the audit passes. A PDF made in-house is not ISO certification, and a buyer who checks the body’s register will see that.
Which standard do I need?
ISO 9001 is the usual quality-management ask. ISO 14001 is environment, ISO 45001 is health and safety, ISO 27001 is information security, and ISO 22000 is food safety. We pick from the activity and from the sentence in the tender, not from a bundle.
How long does the certificate last?
A typical certificate runs for three years, with surveillance audits in between. Missing a surveillance audit is how a certificate stops being usable before the three years are over.
Does ISO replace FSSAI or GST?
No. A food business can need FSSAI and an ISO food-safety standard. They are different files, from different authorities.
Checked 10 November 2026. Thresholds, fees and form numbers change. Vissgro confirms the live rule on the official portal before anything is filed. A certificate is issued by that authority, or by Dun & Bradstreet in the case of a D-U-N-S Number — not by Vissgro.
