Dr. Terry Russell was the founder of Centre for ISO9000 Ltd, he had huge passion to assist businesses in their varying accreditation requirements. Terry was well respected in the field for his level of knowledge in a multitude of industries as well as his knowledge and familiarity with the varying ISO and other business related standards. Terry's 2 children Emma and Daniel continue the legacy that Terry created and he will be sorely missed.

Thank you for your time, and I hope that this site is of use to you. 

I also hope you'll consider using our services to help you become registered for whichever standard you require for your business. I didn't list them all, so if it isn't shown, please ask.

"ACCREDITED" Certification

We have been approached by a number of people recently, telling us that they can get their ISO9001, 14001, 27001 or OHSAS18001 certificate cheaper because they are using a "certification body" that can give them consultancy and then perform the assessment. Now, this is not permitted under the requirements of ISO17021, which covers the activities of certification bodies. We have pointed out that these "certification bodies" are not accredited by UKAS, and these people tell us that they have been informed that the "certification body" is accredited by some other body. The Department for Business Innovation & Skills states that this is illegal. Their web page at http://www.bis.gov.uk/policies/innovation/standardisation/non-accredited-certification states:

“Accreditation” within the meaning of the Regulation can only be obtained (in the UK) from United Kingdom Accreditation Service by virtue of the Regulation. 
Any organisation therefore that is suggesting it is accredited in the sense of the Regulation when they are not is likely to be guilty of an offence under the Business Protection from Misleading Marketing Regulations 2008 (Statutory Instrument 2008/1276).

So, if you have one of these unaccredited certificates, you should report the "certification body" to your local Trading Standards office. And we'd strongly advise that you don't try to use it when tendering for work. You may get tarred with the same brush! You might even appear in the same court.
