If you’re new to certification, registration or accreditation, it can be difficult to work out which websites are genuine and how everything fits together. Here are a few sites that you may like to be aware of. Some of them are vast and we’re not suggesting you plough through them, but they may help answer specific questions you may have. We also have provided a brief explanation of some of the terminologies used here.

ISO is the International Organization for Standardization. It develops and publishes International Standards. Including of course the international standards that we offer certification for (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22000 and ISO 45001). www.iso.org.

As they’re Copyright, you’ll need to buy or have access to any Standards that you want certification for. But if you just want a quick look to see what they contain and what’s expected of you, this site has a large library of information.
