Knowledge to decide better.

G-CERTI's accreditation chain and its current scope are published under accredited scope, together with the source and date of the data. The scope must be checked there before presenting a certification to clients, tenders or authorities, and every certificate issued is verified by its code in the verifier.

G-CERTI certifies management systems within the current accredited scope, which should always be checked before presenting a certification. For ISO/IEC 42001 and other standards outside that scope, G-CERTI does not currently offer certification; it only publishes training or technical content when applicable.

Yes. The transfer process is assessed against IAF MD 2. G-CERTI reviews the current certificate, the issuing body, the scope, the audit reports, any open nonconformities and the applicable conditions before confirming whether the transfer is viable. It is not approved automatically.

A report is issued listing the nonconformities found, classified as applicable. The organization implements corrective actions and provides closure evidence. The closure is then reviewed and, if appropriate, the process continues with the certification decision and the issuance of the certificate.

Certification is independent of consulting. In accordance with ISO/IEC 17021-1, a certification body maintains strict separation from consulting to the organizations it certifies, to protect the impartiality of the process. Any implementation support is provided by independent third parties, not as part of the certification process.

The certificate number is entered on the verification page. The automated lookup searches for the code in G-CERTI's registry; if no result appears or context is needed, assisted verification confirms it within 24 hours.

ISO/IEC 42001 is addressed through training and guidance-oriented technical content. G-CERTI does not currently offer certification for this standard; any change in status will need to be backed by a current formal scope before being communicated.

Yes. Integrated audits allow two or more standards to be reviewed under a single program when the scope, technical compatibility and applicable rules allow it. Common combinations include ISO 9001 + ISO 14001 + ISO 45001, or ISO/IEC 27001 + ISO 22301.

The audit and issuance timeline is set out in the proposal, based on the standard, the size of the organization, the number of sites, complexity, documentation maturity and availability. Prior implementation of the management system is additional; there is no universal timeframe for all cases.

Six stages: 1) application and scope, 2) documentation review, 3) stage 1 audit (documentary), 4) stage 2 audit (on-site or remote), 5) file review and decision by a competent function separate from the audit team, 6) issuance of the verifiable certificate when applicable.

It depends on the standard. In general: a management policy, measurable objectives, a system manual (if applicable), the documented procedures required by the standard, and the records evidencing implementation. A checklist specific to the chosen standard is provided when the process begins.

Yes. In accordance with IAF MD 4, remote or information-technology-based audits are used when they are technically feasible and justified for the scope involved. The remote proportion depends on the standard, sites, processes, risk and applicable rules.

The certificate is valid for 3 years. During that period, annual surveillance audits are carried out to verify the maintenance of the management system. At the end of the cycle, a recertification audit is performed.

By reading the certificate issued, the applicable public registry and the requirements of the client or authority requesting it. Looking only at the name of the standard is not enough: the holder, activity, sites, validity, standard and scope must all match.

Recognition depends on the accreditation chain, the scope of the certificate and the rules applicable to the target market. It is presented as a reference framework, with case-by-case verification, not as universal automatic acceptance.

It may be valid when the tender specifications accept the standard, the scope, the issuing body and the corresponding accreditation chain. Acceptance is checked against the text of the tender, the certificate issued and the target market.

Applications and audits are coordinated by qualified personnel, and G-CERTI Co., Ltd. keeps the review, the final decision and the issuance control separate. The acceptance of each certificate depends on its scope, validity, accreditation chain and target market.

The cost is per project and depends on the standard, the size of the organization, the number of sites and the complexity of the processes. The proposal is defined after reviewing the scope, mode, country, sites and required cycle.

The proposal details the items included and the applicable additional conditions — audit mode, annual surveillance, scope changes, taxes and services not included. The financial scope is documented before the process begins.

Payment terms are defined by contract and country. Published amounts are expressed in USD, and the formal proposal documents the payment method, taxes and applicable conditions.

Integrated audits optimize time when the standards share structure, processes, sites and a compatible audit team. The optimization is defined according to the scope and applicable rules.

Available methods are stated in the corresponding proposal or invoice. They may include bank transfer, card or local options depending on country, legal entity and applicable conditions.

Yes. An invoice is issued in accordance with the corresponding legal entity and the tax regulations applicable in each country.

The proposal details all items included and any applicable additional conditions. Every item is documented before proceeding.

Impartiality in accordance with ISO/IEC 17021-1 and a traceable documentary review. The schedule is defined by contract according to scope, and acceptance of the certificate is interpreted against the applicable accredited scope; inconclusive cases go to assisted confirmation.

In accordance with ISO/IEC 17021-1, G-CERTI maintains a formal complaints and appeals procedure. The complaint is sent to info@gcerti.org or through the corresponding form. Each case is assessed through the defined path and answered according to the applicable procedure.

The certification decision may be appealed in accordance with the applicable procedure. The appeal is assessed by a body independent of the original audit team, with an objective and impartial review under ISO/IEC 17021-1.

Specialized diploma programs on ISO standards (9001, 14001, 45001, 27001, 42001, among others), Lead Auditor and Internal Auditor programs, and technical events. All include a training credential issued by G-CERTI; a training credential is not equivalent to the accredited certification of a company's management system.

Both modes are available. Online classes are live, with direct interaction. In-person classes are held in Buenos Aires. In-company training is also offered for teams.

Yes. The programs include an academic credential issued by G-CERTI. It is verified by its code in the same console as the certificates. It is a training credential: it does not replace an accredited certification of a company's management system, nor does it guarantee audit outcomes.

No, they are different. The credential documents the training completed by a person; certification assesses an organization's management system through third-party audit. They are separate processes.

G-CERTI operates with an international presence and an office in Buenos Aires (Argentina), which coordinates applications and audits. G-CERTI Co., Ltd. retains the final decision and issuance control, subject to the applicable standard and scope.

Operations are handled by G-CERTI's authorized representation, with separate functions: whoever audits does not decide, and the certification decision is made by the issuer (G-CERTI Co., Ltd.).

Third-party certification remains independent of consulting and training. Its authority rests on traceable accreditation and on documentary verification mechanisms with assisted confirmation when applicable.
