The Benefits of Getting an ISO Certification

Recently we’ve noticed an increase in interest from companies for gaining and maintaining ISO certifications for Health and Safety, Quality, and Environmental.

Having various ISO certifications open up a range of opportunities to companies, from being eligible for specific project tenders, to adding credibility and bringing economic and moral benefits to your business.

So, what exactly is an ISO certification? What are the benefits? And what is involved in attaining and maintaining certification?

What is an ISO Certification?

ISO is the International Organisation for Standardisation. They “develop and publish International Standards” for companies in areas like quality management, environmental management, and occupational health and safety.

At Boven, we work with clients to attain and maintain ISO Certifications across three areas;

  • Quality – ISO 9001
  • Environmental – ISO 14001
  • Health and Safety – ISO 18001


Some benefits of ISO Certification

Attaining and maintaining an ISO Certification requires significant investment in terms of time, resource and expense. However, the long-term benefits help to make this investment worthwhile.

Benefits enjoyed by our clients from ISO Certification include:

  • Improved efficiencies in processes
  • Reduction in operational costs
  • Helps detail areas of responsibilities across the company
  • Securing high-value public sector contracts
  • Facilitation of marketing opportunities
  • Gives your company an edge over competitors

Why should you consider an ISO Certification?

As most business owners, leaders, and managers know, developing and implementing processes can be a minefield. ISO certifications helps companies to streamline their approach to developing and implementing management systems. This allows you to identify opportunities for cost savings, while ensuring you are compliant with legislation. Having systems in place also reduces the likelihood of accidents in the workplace, which in turn reduces insurance costs, resulting in more savings to the business.

Thinking of getting an ISO Certification?

At Boven Safety Management Ltd, we work with clients to develop a management system for the ISO standard they are working towards, then help them to implement it across the company, through policies, procedures, and employees.
