ACERTA Certification and Inspection Pty Ltd (ACI) provides independent third-party ISO 9001 certification for Australian businesses. We audit your quality management system against the standard and issue certification where the evidence supports it.

What is ISO 9001?

ISO 9001 is the international standard for quality management systems. It sets out requirements for how an organisation plans its work, controls its processes, handles non-conforming output, and improves over time. It applies to any sector and any size of business.

What our certification involves

• Stage 1 review of your documented system and readiness
• Stage 2 on-site audit of processes, records and practice
• Verification that documented procedures match what actually happens
• Assessment of management review, internal audit and corrective action
• Clear written findings, including any non-conformances and what closing them requires
• Certification followed by annual surveillance audits and three-yearly recertification

Why organisations certify

• Independent evidence of a working quality system
• A requirement in many tenders, supply agreements and procurement processes
• Fewer defects, reworks and customer complaints through structured control
• A consistent basis for improvement rather than ad-hoc firefighting

Our role

ACERTA Certification and Inspection Pty Ltd is a certification body. We audit and certify — we do not design, document or implement management systems for the organisations we assess. That separation is what gives our certificates value to the customers, regulators and trading partners who rely on them.
