  • One must understand that the authentic certificate is awarded only after audit and verification of the compliance to the relevant standard. Your company will have to demonstrate the system for the period of at least 3 months. If your company has already established a system in accordance with the standard requirement, you may invite a certification body for the audit. In such a case, the certificate is awarded after verification of compliance. It takes approximately 2-3 weeks for getting approval and award of the certificate. However, the period differs in the case of various certification bodies.
