Just quoting our second company of the week, signed up to 10-year ISO Certification Contracts not broadly recognised or accepted – losing work as a result.
Buyer Beware: Both UK Gov & the IAF (International Accreditation Forum) recognise one Accreditation Body only for the UK – UKAS.
Like the police won’t accept bogus or unrecognised driving licenses, customers in the know generally won’t accept Non-UKAS ISO Certs.
Don’t be fooled by the Sales Pitch or Lower Costs –
“It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little. When
you pay too much, you lose a little money – that’s all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot – it can’t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.”
– John Ruskin
