What is IAF ISO?
It is a global federation for all the accreditation bodies worldwide, which is known as International Accreditation Forum or IAF. The government and administrations approve work projects only for the IAF-approved ISO-certified companies as it is required quality audits at regular intervals. It is costly as compared to NON-IAF. The validity of the Certificate is 3 years but every year there are surveillance charges which are 50% of the Registration Amount. If you want to apply for any Govt Tender or you want to submit it at any Govt Department than IAF ISO is required.
What is Non-IAF ISO?
It’s very less costly as compared to IAF ISO and getting a non-IAF ISO certification is much more feasible as it does not require quality audits at regular intervals. The validity of the Certificate is 3 years and there are no surveillance charges. This Certificate does not have any legal value; it is not accepted by the Govt Department or for any Govt/Pvt tenders. It may be used just for branding and promotions. We don’t have any legal responsibilities if this certificate is not accepted by any third parties.
