01: The standard
What ISO 9001 means for a business in Chur
ISO 9001:2015 is the world's leading standard for quality management systems. It describes how an organisation can consistently deliver products and services that meet customer requirements and regulatory obligations. The size of the company does not matter. A workshop with five people and a firm with fifty can both work to it.
The standard rests on seven principles: customer focus, leadership, engagement of people, process approach, improvement, evidence-based decision making and relationship management. In practice, six requirements carry most of the work.
- Context of the organisation
- You understand and document the factors and interested parties that shape your business (clause 4).
- Quality policy and objectives
- Management defines a quality policy and measurable objectives (clauses 5 and 6).
- Risks and opportunities
- You assess risks and opportunities systematically instead of case by case (clause 6).
- Processes
- You define and control the processes that create your product or service (clause 8).
- Resources and competence
- People, equipment and knowledge are available and kept up to date (clause 7).
- Monitoring and improvement
- You monitor performance and improve continually (clauses 9 and 10).
02: Who needs it
Which businesses in the Chur region typically need ISO 9001
Chur is the capital of the canton of Graubünden. Whether a company asks for ISO 9001 does not depend on its town but on its customers and its way of working. The standard is widely used by manufacturing companies, service companies, trades and craft businesses, IT and software companies, consulting firms and public institutions.
The reasons are usually practical. A certificate answers a question that customers, buyers and partners would otherwise ask you one by one.
- Tenders and procurement
- Buyers often ask for proof of a quality management system before they invite an offer or award a contract.
- Customer and supplier requirements
- Larger customers frequently expect their suppliers to work to a recognised standard.
- Growth and delegation
- When a team grows, written processes make sure quality does not depend on one person.
- Visible trust
- A certificate that anyone can verify shows prospects that your quality is organised and checked.
03: Two routes
On-site audit or online route: what changes for Chur
There are two ways to certify. The classic route with an on-site audit by a certification body is well known. The online route replaces the visit with a structured self-assessment. For a company in Chur, the difference is mainly time, effort and cost.
| Aspect | Classic route with on-site audit | Zertify online route |
|---|---|---|
| Basis of the assessment | Audit by a certification body at your premises | Online self-assessment with 30 yes/no questions, reviewed by SICE |
| Travel and visits | Auditors travel to you and your team plans for audit days | None. Everything runs online |
| Time to certificate | Usually weeks to months (indicative range) | Within 4 hours after passing and payment |
| Cost | Quoted individually, often higher (indicative) | CHF 599 in the first year, then CHF 399 per year including the online re-audit |
| Yearly follow-up | Recurring audits by the certification body | Short online re-audit, included in the yearly fee |
Which route suits you depends on what your customers expect. If a tender names a specific route, check that first.
04: Zertify
How Zertify certifies companies in Chur
Zertify is an online platform. We have no office in Chur and no local auditors, and we do not need them. You work from your desk, at your own pace, and nobody has to travel.
The certificate is issued by G6 Agency AG under licence from SICE, the Swiss Institute of Certification and Education. SICE reviews every assessment before the certificate is issued. Each certificate can be verified publicly by its number and QR code, and it is confirmed every year by a short online re-audit.
The price is stated openly: CHF 599 (€599) in the first year, then CHF 399 (€399) per year including the yearly online re-audit. The certificate is valid for 3 years. Billing is an automatic yearly subscription that you can cancel at any time to the end of the current year in your customer account. If you cancel, the certificate ends with the paid year. Prices include 8.1% Swiss VAT for customers in Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
If you also need other standards, the multi-standard discount applies: 20% for 2 standards and 30% for 3 or more, also on the yearly fee.
