Frequently Asked Questions

ISO 14001 environmental management system certification covers the air, soil, water, natural resources, plant and animal life, and human environment present at a production site, and the way they all interact. It is a structured approach that pays attention to environmental impacts at every stage, from the first step of production to the moment a product reaches the consumer.

Following natural and political developments, the ISO 14001 standard went through a revision. The topics revised in the ISO 14001 standard are:

• Risk-based approach
• Scope and applicability
• Documented information
• Performance and evaluation
• Management review
• Life-cycle perspective
• Control of outsourced processes

Companies should pay close attention to these points when working on the ISO 14001 environmental management standard.

The first version of ISO 14001 was issued in 1996 and was the second standard certificate to follow ISO 9001. Later on, the ISO 14001 standard was revised again after 2004. Through training, normative work, audits, and certification activities all delivered from a single point, certification bodies in the sectors they serve work hand in hand with their customers and create a positive impact on their fields, on people, and on environmental factors.

For a quality certificate, the size of the firm or the number of staff does not block setting up the system. The ISO quality certificate (ISO 9001) standard does not force businesses to bring every one of their practices inside the certificate's defined frame. However, the firm must meet the standard's implementation conditions for the activities that fall within the scope. The standard does allow some clauses to be left out of the certification scope where there is no application for them, provided this does not contradict relevant customer requirements or legal regulations. However, the firm has to document its justified reasons for leaving out clauses that are not applied (or are out of scope).

An ISO certificate is a document that proves businesses operating in different sectors deliver their services in line with a defined standard, and confirms that they have the competence in their field. Every certificate issued under standards prepared by ISO is referred to as an ISO certificate. ISO 9001 is the most widely used quality management system certificate worldwide. The ISO 9001 logo is the mark used together with the certificate by businesses certified by the certification body.

The ISO 9001 logo, meaning the use of the logo for the ISO 9001 certificate, is permitted only for businesses that have come through Sistem Kalite's certification and testing consultancy audits successfully and earned the right to hold the certificate. To use this logo, you first need to pass the audits carried out by our Sistem Kalite certification and testing consultancy firm.

Under our ISO certification work, Sistem Kalite, our certification and testing consultancy firm, has been informing and certifying businesses since 1999.

ISO 9001 Logo Use

Businesses that earn the right to hold the certificate must use the logo or the certificate in line with the conditions in this guideline.

Certified businesses must use the logo in line with the relevant accreditation requirements. A copy of the certificate and logo use notes from the relevant accreditation body is provided to certified businesses.

ISO Use Conditions

For use of the ISO 9001 logo, this guideline is kept up-to-date on our official website at www.sistempatent.com.

The ISO 9001 logo cannot be used in a way that suggests Sistem Kalite holds responsibility for the content of the document or for the activity in any form.

The logo and the certificate cannot be used outside the certificate scope, in affiliated businesses, or in subsidiaries.

The logo cannot be used as a product certificate. It cannot be used on products themselves. (A product is something you can directly touch, or that may sit inside a package or box.)

The logo can be used on product packaging only in a way that makes clear the certificate belongs to the management system, not to the product.

A certified business can use the ISO 9001 logo in advertising publications, official documents, or brochures.

Once the certificate's term ends, the business must stop using the ISO 9001 logo immediately.

Use of the logo must be stopped if the certificate is suspended or withdrawn.

Once a business holds the certificate, it remains responsible for following these rules for as long as the certificate is valid. If logo use outside this guideline is identified, action is taken in line with the corrective action procedure.

The certificate and logo cannot be transferred to a third party.

The logo use format will be provided together with the certificate on a USB or CD, and logos will also be made available on the website.

Logos are preferred to be used in their original colors as supplied, but other requested colors may be used.

The logo can be enlarged or reduced in size, provided the proportions stated above are kept fixed.

The certificate and logo belong to our Sistem Kalite certification and testing consultancy firm. They are made available for the business's use within the limits of the audited address, the audited path, and the audited scope. They cannot be reproduced in any way, and no alteration or tampering is allowed. When the certificate ends, the original document must be returned to our Sistem Kalite certification and testing consultancy firm.

All responsibility for misuse of the certificate and the logo lies with the certified business.

ISO is the abbreviation for the International Organization for Standardization. The organization was founded in 1947 and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. An ISO certificate is a document that proves businesses operating in different service sectors deliver their services in line with a defined standard, and confirms that they have the competence required in their field. Every certification process carried out under standards drafted by the ISO is referred to as ISO certification. ISO certificate verification is the lookup process used to find out the validity period of an ISO certificate already in hand.

The ISO certificate verification process matters because, by knowing the expiry date, you can plan the renewal in time. To carry out this lookup, you need the ISO certificate number.

One important thing to keep in mind: an ISO certificate is not issued to a product. It is issued to the business itself.

Under our ISO certification work, Sistem Kalite, our certification and testing consultancy firm, has been informing and certifying businesses since 1999.

Businesses build the ISO certificate system and put it into practice. If you want to verify an ISO certificate, the certificate clearly states (or should state) the name of the accreditation body that backs the certification body that issued it. Certificate numbers are also printed on the document. To check whether an ISO certificate is valid, organizations should first visit the website of the certification body that issued the ISO certificate. With the certificate number printed on the document, they can go to the accreditation body's website (or directly to the certification body's site) and use the lookup button there to enter the ISO certificate number and verify the validity period. Beyond this, there is no central ISO certificate verification system. Firms wanting to check whether a competitor has an ISO certificate need to know which certification body issued it and the certificate number.

An important point to add: organizations seeking an ISO certificate should obtain it from a certification body whose accreditation has been completed. Many certification bodies on the market today offer consultancy and certification for ISO 9001 and other ISO certificates. However, some bodies issue certificates under foreign accreditation that is not recognized by Turkish accreditation. If you intend to use the ISO certificates you hold with public bodies, it is essential that the accreditation be Turkish. Likewise, every certification body may not be accredited for every standard. For example, a body accredited for ISO 27001 may not hold accreditation for ISO 22000. As a result, if the accreditation of the certificate you obtain matters for your operations, run the verification step carefully. Sistem Kalite, our certification and testing consultancy firm, holds both international and Turkish accreditation.

ISO is the abbreviation for the International Organization for Standardization. The organization was founded in 1947 and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. An ISO certificate is a document that proves businesses operating in different service sectors deliver their services in line with a defined standard, and confirms that they have the competence required in their field. Every certification process carried out under standards drafted by the ISO is referred to as ISO certification. The validity period of the ISO certificate refers to the time from the date the certificate is issued through to its expiry date.

The certificate referred to as the ISO certificate validity period, with its real name being the ISO 9001 validity period, is 3 years. Within these three years, an ISO 9001 surveillance audit is carried out at least once per year. So, that covers the validity period of the ISO 9001 certificate. Some firms that promise quick results on ISO 9001 do not properly inform companies about the certificate validity period and the surveillance audits. As a result, one year after receiving the ISO 9001 certificate, those companies face a surveillance audit they were not prepared for, and risk having their ISO 9001 cancelled. Companies that have been certified under ISO 9001 should also have completed the ISO 9001:2015 system revision and switched from ISO 9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015. The deadline for this transition phase was October 2018.

To keep the ISO certificate valid, certified businesses pay the annual visa fee at the initial certification and at every surveillance audit in the years that follow.

The ISO certificate is not issued to a product. It is issued to the business itself.

Under our ISO certification work, Sistem Kalite, our certification and testing consultancy firm, has been informing and certifying businesses since 1999.

One year after you receive the certificate, in the same month, you arrange a follow-up meeting with our Sistem Kalite certification and testing consultancy firm. If you wish to continue, you sign a 3-year certification contract with us.

One thing worth highlighting: if you only buy ISO certificate consultancy once and go through the audit each year, the quality of the firm you bought it from really matters. The consultancy firm should walk you through how the system is built, how it is put into operation, and what to do in the steps that follow. Doing all of that within a 3-month or 5-month window is rarely realistic in practice. For that reason, we recommend running consultancy with our Sistem Kalite certification and testing consultancy firm continuously for at least one year.

As you can see, the ISO certificate is, the deeper you go, a layered system. In our country, an ISO certificate can be read as the sign of a business that respects scientific methods, or it can be treated as a piece of paper or even seen as a meaningless administrative requirement. The choice is yours.

Konya is one of Turkey's strongest industrial bases, especially in agricultural machinery, automotive parts, and food processing. Many of these sectors face ISO certification as a buyer requirement. Below is what your firm needs to put in place to hold the certificate.

To Hold an ISO Certificate

• You need to set up the system tied to the ISO certificate inside your business.
• You need to put the ISO certificate system into practice.
• You need to keep the ISO certificate system running.
• You need to put in place the conditions required by the people who will operate the system.
• Cost factors such as the firm's financial means and other parameters become part of the picture.

At Sistem Patent Kalite, we work with Konya-based firms across the full life cycle of the project, from the first gap analysis through certification and yearly surveillance.
