Questions

Do we need ISO certification to work with buyers in Iraq?

Some buyers require a specific certificate. We review the buyer’s requirements and your activities before recommending the standard and certification scope.

Which ISO standard fits our company?

The right standard depends on your activities and customers’ requirements. We review both before recommending what to prepare.

Who audits the company and issues the certificate?

An independent certification body conducts the audit and decides whether to issue the certificate. Keybridge helps your company prepare.

Does our parent company’s certificate cover our Iraqi operation?

Only if the certificate’s scope covers the relevant entity, sites and activities. We review the existing scope and identify what needs confirmation from the issuing body.

How long does preparation and certification take?

Timing depends on your existing systems, available records and the certification body’s schedule. We assess readiness before agreeing on the preparation timeline.

What happens after the certificate is issued?

Keep the management system in use and maintain its records. Follow the audit and renewal requirements set by the certification body; any ongoing support is agreed separately.
