On-site or remote review of your management system documentation, readiness assessment, and confirmation of Stage 2 audit scope and plan.
3
Stage 2 — On-site Audit
Full on-site audit of the implemented management system against the standard's requirements. Findings are reported; nonconformities must be closed before certification.

Surveillance & Recertification
Annual surveillance audits (~1/3 of initial audit time) maintain certification. Recertification audit (~2/3 of initial time) is conducted before certificate expiry to renew for a further 3 years.
Frequently Asked Questions
ISO 10001 is complementary to ISO 9001. ISO 9001 provides the broader quality management framework; ISO 10001 specifically addresses customer satisfaction codes of conduct within that framework.
