The pricing structure of various certification bodies vary and this results in a remarkable change in your ISO 9001 certification cost depending on which certification body you decide to get certified from.

There are many certification bodies in the UAE offering either non-accredited ISO certificates or ISO certificates with fake accreditations. Some so-called certification bodies run pay to get certified kind of racket. They issue certificates without any implementation or documentation or in the worst case without any proper audit. Just pay and get your ISO certificate in a few hours kind of scam. Beware and stay away from these scammers. You are known by the company you keep. While trying to save a few thousand Dirhams and the excitement to get a quick ISO certificate, you are putting the reputation and long term interests of your organization at risk. Many certification bodies claim free consulting which is absolutely unethical. A certification body can never do consulting activities and a consulting company can never do certification audits. They both must be separate legal and independent entities to eliminate the risk of conflict of interest. Some fake certification bodies offer a 3-year price and claim that there will be no surveillance audits or your certificate remains valid for 3 years on a one-time fee with no annual surveillance audits. Never ever get into these kinds of scams. Contact us at info@uaeiso.com if you are in doubt and our ISO experts will offer you unbiased and accurate advice.

Depending on the type of your business domain and industry, the certification body will identify if there is a need for a domain specialist along with the ISO system auditor. The number of employees is another consideration. The total number of audit man-days are calculated as per a table that corresponds to total man-days with the number of employees in the organization. The certification body may use multiple auditors to shorter the span of the total audit. ie.if the audit is to be done for a total of 4 man-days, instead of one auditor auditing for 4 days, the certification body may send 2 auditors for 2 days or 4 auditors for 1 day.

There are many certification bodies and consulting companies in Dubai that lure the organizations looking for ISO certification by super cheap pricing. Stay away from these kinds of companies. They in the most probability, issue you an unaccredited certificate with bogus accreditation bodies like UKAF instead of UKAS to create confusion in the minds of the clients. They have similar-sounding & attractive names of those fake accreditation bodies that cheat people and in turn, impact the market reputation of real ISO certification bodies and the ISO scheme in general.

There are certification bodies who issue the certificate without actual audit or they say surveillance audit is free or say that with consulting services, certification comes free. Please stay away from these kinds of companies as they will tarnish your reputation, market image and in a long term put you in a huge financial/contractual problem because they are unaccredited and/or issued unethically flouting all the norms of IAF.
