ISO 9001 · Chicago, Illinois
IAF Consultancy audits quality management for companies with sites in Chicago, Illinois. An accredited certification body issues the ISO 9001 certificate.
Last reviewed .
Chicago's employers include freight, manufacturing, and food distribution. Companies there use ISO 9001 when a customer, a regulator, or a tender asks for a certified quality management system.
IAF Consultancy does not publish a local office address. The audit visits the sites named in the scope. Those sites can be in Chicago. The written offer states the scope, the timing, and the price before any visit is booked.
A quality audit follows one real job from the request to the result, then checks what the company does when that result is wrong. The path is the same in Chicago as it is anywhere else we audit.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| Submit application | Name the company, the sites, and the standard you want certified. |
| Offer and contract | The offer states scope, timing, and price. The audit is booked after you sign. |
| Stage 1 | The documented system is reviewed, and gaps are named before Stage 2. |
| Stage 2 | The system is audited as it runs. Findings say what must be closed. |
| Certification issuing | An accredited certification body issues the certificate. |
| Surveillance and re-certification | Later visits check that the system still works. Re-certification renews the cycle. |
The eight steps, including both surveillance visits, are set out in how certification works. To start, apply for ISO 9001 certification.
A recommendation is not the certificate. When the audit supports certification, an accredited certification body issues it. Clients and tenders in Chicago are checking for that certificate.
