Are you considering certification against an ISO standard or another standard, but are you unsure whether your management system has been sufficiently established and implemented? An ISO gap analysis provides insight into the extent to which your current management system meets the agreed requirements of the relevant standard.<\/p>\n

\"ISO<\/p>\n

The gap analysis takes place before the formal certification process. During the assessment, the auditor determines which standard requirements are supported by relevant evidence and which aspects may require further establishment or implementation. This gives your organization a clearer understanding of its current position before applying for certification.<\/p>\n

A gap analysis can be performed against various ISO standards and other management system standards. The applicable standard, the proposed scope and the depth of the assessment are agreed with your organization in advance. See below which standards can be included in a gap analysis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A gap analysis is a voluntary assessment. It does not replace the formal certification audit and does not guarantee that your organization will subsequently obtain certification.<\/p>\n
