Before you apply
ISO readiness check
Use a structured check to understand whether the essential components of your management system are in place before certification audit activity begins.
Scope and context
Is the intended certification scope clear, including activities, locations, boundaries and relevant interested parties?
System evidence
Can you show controlled processes, responsibilities, risk-based planning and records appropriate to your chosen standard?
Internal assurance
Have you completed internal audit and management review, and acted on identified nonconformities?
A readiness check is not consultancy or a guarantee of certification. It can help identify whether core prerequisites are present, while certification decisions remain based on the formal audit and independent review.
A practical self-check before the audit
Tick the statements you can support with current evidence. Use any unticked item to decide what to review internally before applying.
This is a self-check, not an audit or a score. The boxes are for your use on this page and are not submitted to AAA. The evidence needed depends on your chosen standard, activities and scope. AAA cannot design your management system for you.
