ISO certification made simple and reassuring with a familiar digital management system
With AmpliFlow, you need fewer separate documents. Filling in a checklist or following up an action records the work in the system. You can see what has been done without writing it up again in a separate document. Keep the instructions you need and build on what you already know.
Everything you need to achieve certification to one or more standards
ISO certification is about managing your organisation. Top management must take part: set objectives, assign responsibilities and support employees. Implementation help is optional. See support options and prices.
AmpliFlow gives you templates, guides and a project plan to make the journey to your ISO certificate or certificates as simple and reassuring as possible.

Questions about certification
What does ISO certification mean?
ISO certification means your management system has been audited and assessed as meeting the requirements of an ISO standard. Your management system is how you run your organisation: responsibilities, working practices, objectives and follow-up. The certificate identifies the standard and the activities covered by the certification.
Which ISO standard should we choose?
Start with customer requirements and the area you need to manage. ISO 9001 covers quality, ISO 14001 the environment, ISO 27001 information security, ISO 45001 occupational health and safety, ISO 22000 food safety and ISO 42001 AI management. Read the customer's exact requirement before deciding on the standard and scope.
How do we get from the first decision to an ISO certificate?
Choose a standard and decide which activities to include. Review what you already have, assign responsibilities and introduce the missing working practices. Review results, conduct an internal audit and management review, and address gaps. The initial certification audit has two stages: first your readiness is assessed, then the use of your management system is audited. The certification body then decides whether to grant certification.
How long does it take to become ISO certified?
The timeline is determined by your starting point, certification scope, the time you allocate and the certification body's audit availability. First identify what already works and what is missing. Then set dates for implementation, internal audit, management review and the external audit. Starting to use the software and being ready for certification are two different milestones.
How much does ISO certification with AmpliFlow cost?
Software from €35/month + €90 per ISO standard per month. €35/month covers up to three employees. A fourth employee needs an additional license. Also budget for your own work and the certification body's audit. Consulting is optional and priced separately.
Do we need consulting?
No. The software license is separate from the Mini, Midi and Maxi support packages. You can buy software only without a support package, set it up and lead the work yourselves. Mini includes template setup and introductory training. Midi and Maxi include setup, introduction and migration of agreed files at no extra migration charge. Consulting scope and total price are agreed in a quote.
Who issues the certificate?
An independent certification body audits your organisation's management system and decides whether to issue the certificate. The certification audit costs extra. AmpliFlow provides software and the support you choose.
Can we work with several standards?
Yes. You can reuse shared processes, documents and follow-up in AmpliFlow. Combine the shared parts in one management system and review each standard's own requirements.
Who needs to take part in certification?
Top management needs to set direction, assign responsibilities, allocate resources and review results. Process owners need to describe and develop working practices with the people who perform the tasks. In a smaller organisation, one person can hold several roles. Appoint a coordinator, but do not leave the whole implementation to one person.
Do we need a large manual or paper documents?
No. ISO 9001 does not require a quality manual or paper documentation. You need the documented information required by the standard and the information that helps you manage your organisation. Keep useful instructions and retain records of what you have done. Electronic information needs to be accessible, protected and up to date, just like other documentation.
How often does ISO certification need to be reviewed?
Accredited management-system certification requires a surveillance audit at least once a year. Recertification takes place no later than three years after certification. Your certification body's audit schedule sets out your dates.
What happens after we receive our ISO certificate?
Continue reviewing objectives, handling nonconformities, conducting internal audits and holding management reviews. Update working practices when your organisation changes and follow the certification body's schedule for surveillance audits and recertification.
