ISO certification in India involves two costs: (1) Consultant fees — Sirus Infotech charges ₹24,999 (MSME) to ₹99,999+ (large enterprise), covering gap analysis, system design, documentation, training, and audit support. (2) Certification Body (CB) fees — paid directly to the accredited CB, ranging from ₹25,000 to ₹80,000 depending on company size and standard. MSME businesses can claim up to 75% subsidy through the QCI-MSME scheme, effectively reducing the total cost significantly.

Yes — ISO 9001 is mandatory for the majority of central government tenders (GeM Portal, CPWD, MES, Railways, Defence), most state PWD tenders, and virtually all large corporate procurement processes. Tenders above ₹50 lakh typically require ISO 9001 as a mandatory qualification criteria. Without it, your bid is rejected at the technical qualification stage regardless of price. ISO 9001 certification is the single most impactful investment an MSME can make to access government contracts.

This is critical. IAF-accredited certificates are issued by Certification Bodies (CBs) accredited by NABCB (India's national accreditation body) or equivalent international bodies. These are recognised globally and by Indian government tender portals. Non-accredited certificates (sometimes offered at very low prices) are issued by unrecognised bodies and are NOT accepted for government tenders, export documentation, or international contracts. Sirus Infotech works exclusively with IAF-accredited certification bodies to ensure your certificate has real value.

An ISO certificate is valid for 3 years from the date of issue. However, to maintain validity, companies must pass annual surveillance audits in Year 1 and Year 2. In Year 3, a full recertification audit is conducted. Surveillance audits are lighter than the initial certification audit and focus on checking that the QMS is being maintained. Sirus Infotech's packages include support for all 3-year surveillance cycles.

Yes — this is called an Integrated Management System (IMS). The most common combination is ISO 9001 + ISO 14001 + ISO 45001 (QHSE — Quality, Health, Safety, Environment). Getting multiple standards certified simultaneously is significantly more cost-effective than certifying them separately. The audit scope, documentation, and consultant time overlap considerably. Sirus Infotech specialises in IMS implementation and recommends it for all manufacturing companies needing both quality and environmental/safety compliance.

Not necessarily radically — but you do need to document and formalise your existing processes. Many companies already follow good practices informally. ISO certification requires that these practices be documented in SOPs, work instructions, and quality manuals. Our gap analysis identifies what's already compliant and what needs to be created or improved. Typically, 60–70% of a company's processes are already ISO-compatible — we just need to document them properly.
