ISO Certification Consultants in Turkey
In the increasingly competitive and regulation-heavy business environment in Turkey today, ISO certification is no longer optional—it’s a strategic necessity. If you’re in manufacturing, technology, healthcare, or automotive, ISO certification opens up international markets, government contracts, and improved operational standards.
In this blog, Vertex Certifiers addresses the most common questions and issues Turkish businesses have about ISO standards and certification.
ISO Certification Consultants
ISO certification consultants have an important part to play in assisting organisations to implement and maintain ISO standards. At Vertex Certifiers, we provide consultancy services throughout Turkey to help companies:
- Select the relevant ISO standard
- Develop required documentation and policies
- Train staff on standard requirements
- Prepare for surveillance and certification audits
- Conduct internal audits and gap analysis
With years of experience and cooperation with accredited certification bodies, we provide a smooth and cost-effective certification process.
ISO Certificate validity
The validity of an ISO certificate is 3 years, subject to successful completion of annual surveillance audits. The procedure is as follows:
- Initial certification: 3-year validity
- Surveillance audits: Annual audits by the certification body
- Re-certification: Has to be undertaken towards the end of the 3-year term
- Non-compliance with requirements or failure to undergo surveillance audits can lead to suspension or withdrawal of certification.
ISO Quality Management Certification
The most familiar ISO quality certification is ISO 9001. It puts a focus on setting up a Quality Management System (QMS) to enable:
- Constant product and service quality
- Enhanced customer satisfaction
- Process improvement mechanisms
- Risk management and root cause analysis
- Organizations across Turkey, from textiles in Bursa to manufacturing in Istanbul, are adopting ISO 9001 for quality improvement and greater customer confidence.
What is ISO 27001 Certification
ISO 27001 is the international best practice for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It supports organisations of all sizes:
- Secure sensitive and confidential information
- Protect against cyber-attacks and data breaches
- Conform to legislation, regulation, and contractual needs
- Build partner and customer confidence
ISO 27001 is specifically critical to Turkish companies trading in sectors such as finance, IT, e-commerce, and telecoms.
Collaborting ISO 9001 along with ISO 27001 & it’s uses
- Process consistency
- Product traceability
- Risk-based thinking
- Customer-specific requirements integration
Vertex Certifiers can assist your business with ISO 9001 compliance so that you meet both local and global supply chain needs.

ISO 14971 Certification

ISO 14971 includes:
- Risk analysis
- Assessment and control of potential hazards
- Documentation and traceability of risk measures
- Integration of post-market surveillance
Vertex Certifiers provides ISO 14971 consultancy to med-tech, healthcare manufacturers, distributors, and service providers within Turkey’s growing med-tech and healthcare sector.
ISO 9001 Certification Timeline
Obtaining ISO 9001 certification in Turkey depends on a range of parameters such as the size of the organisation, maturity of documentation available, and the range of certification.
The average timelines are:
- Small business: 1 to 2 months
- Medium organisation: 2 to 4 months
- Large enterprise or multi-site: 4 to 6 months or more
With Vertex Certifiers, project schedules are streamlined with systematic project scheduling, tailored templates, and focused training, enabling faster, more streamlined certifications.
ISO Certificate Verification
To verify an ISO certificate, you can:
- Examine the certificate for
- Accreditation mark (e.g., TÜRKAK, UKAS, DAkkS)
- Name of certification body
- Scope and period of validity
- Search the website of the certification body and use their verification tool
- Request a formal letter of authenticity from the organisation or their auditor
- Use publicly available directories (for some global certifications)
In Vertex Certifiers, we make sure that all the issued certifications are traceable and valid through accredited certification bodies.
ISO TS 16949 Certification
As mentioned earlier, ISO/TS 16949 has been superseded by IATF 16949. However, the objectives remain the same:
- Zero defect production
- Waste reduction
- Supply chain efficiency
- Improved traceability and risk management
Turkish automotive suppliers are required to choose IATF 16949 to meet Tier 1 and OEM demands. Vertex Certifiers provides hands-on support to implement IATF 16949 according to ISO 9001.
