Certification that opens doors.
ISO 9001 is the internationally recognized quality management system standard. Independent certification demonstrates that your organization has established a management system assessed against its requirements.
Compete for more work
Meet certification requirements for tenders, supply chains and customer contracts.
Build customer confidence
Show that an independent certification body has assessed your quality management system.
Support continual improvement
Reinforce consistent processes, performance monitoring and improvement.
Rigorous auditing. A better experience.
We believe certification audits should be independent, thorough and respectful of your people and your time.
Competent auditors
Auditors are selected for competence relevant to your organization's activities and certification scope.
Clear communication
Know what to expect before, during and after your audit, with responsive local coordination.
Impartial, evidence-based audits
Our audits assess conformity objectively. The responsible certification body independently makes certification decisions.
Long-term service
We coordinate initial certification, surveillance, recertification and eligible transfers across your certification cycle.
We'll prepare a quotation based on your organization's actual scope and audit requirements.

Application & Planning
Confirm certification arrangements, audit time and scheduling.
Stage 1 Audit
Assess management system readiness and preparation for Stage 2.
Stage 2 Audit
Evaluate implementation and effectiveness; address any nonconformities.
Certification Decision
ARS or SCK independently reviews the outcome and, if approved, issues the certificate.
Ongoing Certification
Surveillance audits and recertification normally follow a three-year cycle.
Transfer Your ISO 9001 Certification
Changing certification bodies doesn’t necessarily mean starting again. If you hold a valid accredited ISO 9001 certificate, you may qualify for a transfer to ARS or SCK through Blue Wolf.
We’ll review your current certification and audit history to determine whether a transfer is permitted under the applicable requirements.
What we'll usually review
- Current certificate and scope
- Accreditation and certification status
- Recent audit reports
- Outstanding nonconformities
- Upcoming surveillance or recertification dates
Transfers are subject to eligibility and certification body approval; they are not automatic.
ARS, SCK and UAF Accreditation
Blue Wolf Certifications is the contracted US and Australian representative for ARS and SCK. Both certification bodies maintain accreditation arrangements with the United Accreditation Foundation (UAF).
Blue Wolf coordinates certification services and audits under the applicable arrangements. ARS or SCK is responsible for independent certification decisions and issuing certificates.
Accreditation applies only within each issuing body's current accredited scope. Confirm the relevant scope and certificate details before publication.
Local Service. Clear Accountability.
Know who audits your management system, who makes the certification decision, and which body issues your certificate.
ISO 9001 Certification FAQs
How much does ISO 9001 certification cost?
Cost depends on your personnel, activities, complexity, sites and required audit time, as well as any applicable travel and certification fees. We prepare a tailored quotation rather than advertise a one-size-fits-all price.
How long does certification take?
The timing depends on your organization’s readiness, audit availability and how quickly any nonconformities are resolved. We can discuss the earliest practical schedule after reviewing your circumstances.
Can small businesses become ISO 9001 certified?
Yes. ISO 9001 can be applied to organizations of different sizes and industries, including small service businesses.
Can our audit be conducted remotely?
Remote audit methods may be used when appropriate and permitted by the certification body’s requirements. Some activities or circumstances require an onsite audit.
Who issues the ISO 9001 certificate?
ARS or SCK issues the certificate under the agreed certification arrangement, following an independent certification decision.
Can Blue Wolf write our procedures for us?
Blue Wolf provides independent certification audits rather than implementation consultancy under the same certification arrangements. This separation protects impartiality.
How long is certification valid?
Certificates normally operate on a three-year certification cycle, subject to surveillance, recertification and continued satisfaction of certification requirements.
