ISO 55001, step by step

Initial certification follows these steps.

See how the process works
  1. Enquiry and scope

    What you are asked for, what activities you carry out, and at which sites and in which country you operate.

  2. Proposal

    In writing, sized to the standard, the activities, the sites and the country.

  3. Audit

    The assigned team assesses the documentation and the operation with evidence.

  4. Verifiable certificate

    A function separate from the audit team decides. The certificate can be checked by its code.

  5. Continuity

    Continuity of the cycle is agreed for your case.

Who audits
The audit team assigned to the case, with declared competence for the standard.
Who decides
A function separate from the audit, in accordance with ISO/IEC 17021-1.
Who issues

FAQ

Which edition of the standard applies?

ISO 55001:2024 replaced ISO 55001:2014. The applicable edition is confirmed according to the type and date of the audit before a proposal is issued.

How much does certification cost?

There is no list price: the proposal is sized on standard, scope, sites, headcount, activities, system complexity and delivery mode. The request is reviewed first and the proposal is then issued.

What happens if the audit raises findings?

Findings are documented and classified. The organization submits correction, root cause and corrective action with evidence; the audit team evaluates it and only then does the file go to decision.

Who decides on certification?

A competent function separate from the audit team. Those who audit do not decide, and no outcome is anticipated before that review.

Where can an issued certificate be checked?

In the public certificate register, by code.
