ISO 9001:2015 is the world's leading standard for quality management systems. It helps an organisation deliver products and services that meet customer requirements and regulatory obligations. It rests on seven principles: customer focus, leadership, engagement of people, process approach, improvement, evidence-based decision making and relationship management.

The self-assessment follows the key requirements of the standard. If you can answer the points below from your own documents, you are well prepared.

Context of the organisation

You know your market, your interested parties and the scope of your quality management. This is clause 4 of the standard, and it is written down.

Quality policy and objectives

Leadership (clause 5) sets a quality policy. Planning (clause 6) turns it into measurable objectives.

Risks and opportunities

You assess risks and opportunities systematically, not only when a problem occurs.

Defined processes

Your core processes are described and controlled. Clause 8, Operation, covers how you deliver your product or service.

Resources and competence

People, equipment and know-how are in place. Clause 7, Support, asks you to show that your staff are competent for their tasks.

Monitoring and improvement

You measure performance and act on the results. Clauses 9 and 10 cover evaluation and continual improvement.

Each question can be answered with yes or no. The questions cover the requirements listed above. Answer as things are today, not as you plan them to be.

You need 20 of 30 points to pass. If you are not there yet, the questions show what a quality management system has to cover, so you know where to work first.

Nothing is charged before you have passed. You decide about payment only once you know the result.

• Take the self-assessment

The classic route means an audit at your premises by a certification body. It suits some companies. For many small and medium businesses, the online route is simply faster and easier to plan. The table compares the two. Figures for the classic route are indicative and differ by provider and company size.

Zertify is an online platform that issues ISO certificates based on a self-assessment. The certificates are issued by G6 Agency AG under licence from SICE, the Swiss Institute of Certification and Education, and SICE reviews every assessment before the certificate is issued. For quality management, the standard is ISO 9001:2015. You can read more on the ISO 9001 page.

The price is 599 CHF (599 EUR) in the first year, then 399 CHF (399 EUR) per year including the yearly online re-audit. Prices include 8.1% Swiss VAT for customers in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. If you certify several standards, you get 20% off for 2 standards and 30% off for 3 or more. The discount also applies to the yearly fee.

Billing is an automatic yearly subscription. You can cancel at any time in your customer account, effective at the end of the current year. If you cancel, the certificate ends with the paid year.

Every Zertify certificate has a number and a QR code. Customers, partners and procurement teams can check it publicly on zertify.ch and see that it is genuine. You do not have to send documents or answer questions about it.

The yearly online re-audit keeps the certificate current. It is short and takes place online, so it does not interrupt your work.
