How Much Does ISO 14001 Cost?
The cost of ISO 14001 certification varies based on several factors. Some consultants and certifiers adopt charging models based on the project's complexity, company size, and sometimes even the company's turnover.
At Certigence, our pricing is straightforward, calculated by multiplying an agreed day rate by the number of days work. This is based on the work to be done, mitigated by any the company has done already or will be doing internally. This ensures clarity and transparency, giving you a clear understanding of the commitment before the project commences.
We provide a free telephone or Zoom consultation with one of our consultants to find out enough about your organisation to be able to make a formal proposal without charge or obligation. This allows you to research costs for free before making any commitments!

Process Overview
Initiation and Assessment Discussion
We engage in a free, no-obligation discussion to understand your existing systems and operations, allowing us to generate a formal proposal.
Work Commencement and Collaborative Development
Upon acceptance, collaborative work commences to create and install systems, involving you and your team to ensure alignment with your needs, your understanding and acceptance of the results and compliance with ISO standards.
Initial Assessment (Stage 1): Ensuring Systems Meet Standard
The certifier reviews that systems cover all relevant parameters correctly. You may choose to have our consultant present during the initial assessment to assist with any questions the certifier may have.
Final Evaluation (Stage 2): Achieving Certification
The consultant ensures internal audit, management review, and training aspects are covered. The certifier conducts the conclusive Stage 2 assessment, verifying operational systems' alignment with Standard requirements. Upon successful completion, you attain Certification.
