Seeking Advice on ISO Certification for Our Growing Recycling Business: What Should We Know?

Hello CiteHR members, We are a recycling company operational for 1.5 years now. We are expanding our operations and have automated machinery and a 20-member staff for warehouse operations. Additionally, we have a 6-member front-end team. We are planning to obtain an ISO certification. Kindly suggest what kind of ISO certification we should be looking for and provide a checklist of requirements that we need to follow to achieve this certification. Also, please let us know the timeline for achieving the ISO certification. Regards, Anand

Establish quality objectives and processes. 2. Document procedures and processes. 3. Ensure adequate resources and training. 4. Monitor and measure processes. 5. Implement corrective actions. 6. Conduct internal audits. 7. Seek certification from a recognized body. The timeline for ISO certification varies based on your current processes and readiness. Typically, it can take several months to a year to complete the certification process. Ensure thorough preparation and alignment with ISO requirements for a successful certification journey.
