Unless you are already using a USAS-accredited certification body, the answer is probably yes.
During the outbreak of COVID-19, we have seen a number of UK-based certification bodies switch to remote auditing. The problem with this is that you, the customer, are most likely still paying for their huge overheads.
ISO Accelerator was set up from day one to conduct ISO certification audits remotely. This means that our costs are lower, and we pass those savings on to our customers.

Our accreditation body USAS has been pioneering remote ISO certification for some time. Now, for the first time, we are seeing UKAS-accredited certification bodies follow suit.

If like many people and organisations in the world, you find yourself becoming more environmentally conscious, a great place where you can make a difference is with your ISO certification company!
Businesses all across the globe are making strides towards becoming more sustainable through a number of actionable targets, such as using more renewable energy sources of power, going paperless and pulling the plug on all electrical devices at the end of the working day. However, another way that businesses make the green leap is to choose a more sustainable ISO certification company, just like ISO Accelerator!
Traditional methods of achieving ISO certification involves a series of on-site certification audits, which could potentially add up to miles of travel. This not only results in time and money expenses for the company looking to get accredited but also unnecessary damage to the environment as a result of travel and the use of resources. With ISO Accelerator, you can still achieve ISO certification whilst eliminating all of these potentially harmful actions through our easy-to-use online process. This is particularly useful for smaller companies who may not be able to dedicate time supporting day-long certification audits, thus providing them with greater flexibility to become certified.
Not only will the process of becoming ISO accredited become more sustainable, but the way in which your business operates will also with more streamlined and efficient working practices. The climate crisis has never been such a hot topic and with the help of ISO Accelerator, you can do your part in making the right steps towards the change that is needed.
