FAQs

Start with the business reason, not the standard number.

Which standard should we implement first?

The answer depends on customer requirements, tender conditions, legal obligations, risk and business priorities. A short discovery review can identify the most useful starting point.

Can several standards be integrated?

Yes. Common requirements can be managed through shared processes while discipline-specific controls remain clear.

Do you provide the official ISO standard?

No. Standards should be obtained from ISO or an authorized national standards body. PrimeCert supports interpretation and implementation within permitted use.

How long does ISO implementation usually take?

Timing depends on the scope, organization size, existing maturity, number of locations, available resources and target deadline. PrimeCert confirms a proportionate timeline after an initial review.

What is the difference between ISO consultancy and certification?

PrimeCert supports implementation and certification readiness. An independent certification body performs the certification audit and makes the certification decision.

Can PrimeCert support ISO/IEC 17000-series readiness?

Yes. Readiness support is available for ISO/IEC 17020, ISO/IEC 17021-1, ISO/IEC 17024, ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO/IEC 17065, subject to the organization type and agreed scope.

Which food-safety systems can PrimeCert support?

Support may cover HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, BRC and GMP, subject to the agreed scope and applicable scheme requirements.

Does PrimeCert support SA8000, Sedex and customer codes of conduct?

Yes. Support can include SA8000 readiness, Sedex self-assessment and SMETA preparation, supplier social-compliance reviews, customer code-of-conduct implementation and corrective-action follow-up. Official SMETA audits must be conducted by a Sedex-approved Affiliate Audit Company.
