* IAF ISO: It is a global federation for all the
accreditation bodies worldwide, which is known as the International
Accreditation Forum or IAF. The government and administrations approve work
projects only to the IAF approved ISO certified companies as it is required
quality audits at regular intervals. It's costly as compared to NON-IAF.
Validity of the Certificate is 3 years but every year there are surveillance
charges which are 50% of the Registration Amount. If you want to apply for any
Govt Tender or you want to submit at any Govt Department then IAF ISO is
required.
* NON IAF ISO: It’s very less costly as compared to IAF ISO
and getting a non-IAF ISO certification is much more feasible as it does not
require quality audits at regular intervals. Validity of the Certificate is 3
years and there are no surveillance charges. This Certificate does not have any
legal value; it is not accepted by the Govt Department or for any Govt/Pvt
tenders. It may be used just for branding and promotions. We don’t have any
legal responsibilities if this certificate is not accepted by any third
parties.
