Accreditation
Its ISO 27001 page says: “In the UK, certification bodies must be accredited by UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service).” That is a general statement. Its contact page refers to its “UKAS-approved ISO standards”. Check its scope on the UKAS website.
Always confirm the standard and sector are in the body’s UKAS scope on the UKAS website.
Prices it publishes
No figures. Its ISO 14001 page says: “The best way to determine how much ISO 14001 certification will cost is to contact NQA to request a quote.”
Timescale it states
Its ISO 27001 page says well-managed projects with experienced internal resources can achieve certification in 2 to 3 months, and that six months or more is not unusual. Certificates are valid for three years.
