Posted By Homer Looking at a formal quality accreditation system for a medium sized business that carries out building and civil engineering, but not design. What standard should I be looking at with regards ISO.

Posted By Homer That is what I thought also but just checking.

Posted By Mike At the risk of seeming a pedant, the word accreditation has a special meaning. Your organisation will seek certification to ISO 9001 from a registrar who is accredited by UKAS to issue certificates. You can see the registrars accredited by UKAS at this link http://www.ukas.com/abou...ation_body_schedules.asp I don't know how often this happens in the UK but I believe there is nothing to stop a non-accredited organisation from issuing a plausible looking certificate. This is why when you are looking at for example a supplier's certificate you should always check that their registrar is on the UKAS list.
