What IS THE cost to get ISO 9001 certificate in India?

Answer 1

There are 3 costs:

1) Lead auditor training cost.

1) Initial cost to get your company to ISO9001.

2) Ongoing costs to get audited every year to maintain certification.

Auditor Training:

Each company needs to select an internal lead auditor because part of the ISO process is your company audits itself on a regular basis to make sure you will pass the external ISO audit which is every year. Your lead auditor will have to be trained externally to be certified. If you are a large company and require more than one auditor, your Lead Auditor can train auditors internally.

Initial costs:

If you are a small company (a couple of hundred or less) and you have a lot of time, you may be able to do alot of the work yourself. I would still recommend that you hire consultants to lay out the tasks required by your company, because it impact all people from the bottom to the top, and the top people may not want to receive instructions from you.

But the legwork to make all the changes (get people writing procedures, get documents up to date, get people writing reports etc.) can be done exclusively by your company, with the consultants coming in at the end to review.

But if your company is a large company, the consultant will probably be around a lot.

I recomend you contact your local ISO consultant for estimated prices. Your local ISO auditor probably does consulting, or you can find other private consultants.

Good luck.
