Understanding the service
We clarify the standard, certification body and non-IAF accreditation status before engagement. Suitability must be checked against the customer or tender requirement.
Ask what the recipient requires
Obtain the tender or customer requirement for the standard, scope and accreditation. A certificate outside the relevant accredited route may not satisfy it. Do not judge suitability from a logo or a low quotation alone; establish what the issuing body can actually provide.
Keep the description honest
Record the standard, scope, issuer and accreditation status in the quote. Do not describe a non-IAF offer as equivalent to a requirement it does not meet. Management-system work, external audit and certification decisions are distinct from obtaining a decorative certificate.
Preparation checklist
Use this as a starting file, not a universal eligibility decision. ACS confirms the final checklist against your actual entity, activity and reporting period.
- Applicant or entity identification
- Existing registration records, if applicable
- Address and authorised signatory details
- Service-specific documents confirmed after review
Keep originals and final versions distinguishable. Record missing information before submission and use the agreed private channel for sensitive evidence.
From enquiry to agreed work
- Share the requirement and relevant reporting period.
- ACS reviews the records and confirms the scope and charges.
- Preparation, review and authorised filing or delivery.
- Receive completion records and the next-step checklist.
Clarity about what the offered certificate does and does not satisfy. Timing depends on the supplied records, applicable process and external review. No authority decision or processing date is guaranteed.
ACS professional fee
Government fees, taxes, provider charges and additional professional work are separate unless the written quote says otherwise. The listed fee is not a grant, tax, contribution or licence payment. Online payments remain inactive.
Frequently asked questions
Will every tender accept a non-IAF certificate?
No. Acceptance depends on the exact requirement. Confirm it in writing before engagement.
Is this a government approval of the business?
No. Certification scope and issuer status must be accurately described; it is not a blanket business licence.
What does the listed professional fee include?
The ACS fee covers only the work confirmed in your quote. Government fees, taxes, provider or certification-body charges and additional professional work are separate unless expressly included. Booking does not activate an online payment.
What should I share for the first discussion?
Start with your requirement and the relevant period or project. The callback form needs only your name and mobile number. Share identity, banking or financial documents only through the agreed private workflow.
