Global Energy Up is an independent certification body for management systems and a validation and verification body for greenhouse-gas information. We audit and decide; we do not consult.

Quality management

ISO 9001:2026
Quality management

Quality that depends on particular people is not yet a system.

ISO 9001 certification shows customers and regulators that an organization plans, controls and improves the way it delivers products and services — and that it does so consistently, not occasionally.

Who it is for. Manufacturers, contractors, service providers, laboratories and public bodies — any organization whose customers need confidence in consistent delivery.

  • Context, interested parties and the scope of the quality management system
  • Leadership commitment, quality policy and measurable objectives
  • Risks and opportunities that affect conformity and customer satisfaction
  • Operational control of design, purchasing, production and service provision
  • Monitoring, measurement, internal audit and management review
  • Nonconformity, corrective action and continual improvement

Each area above is assessed on objective evidence — records, interviews and direct observation of work.

How the audit runs

Audit time is determined under the applicable IAF rules for quality management systems (Global ACI / legacy IAF Mandatory Documents), based on effective personnel, complexity and sites. Remote auditing never reduces the required audit time.

01.
Stage 1

Review of documentation, readiness and scope, and planning of Stage 2.

02.
Stage 2

On-site evaluation of implementation and effectiveness; findings are recorded.

03.
Decision & surveillance

An independent decision, then annual surveillance through the three-year cycle.

Edition and transition

ISO 9001:2026 was published in September 2026. Certification to ISO 9001:2015 remains available for the transition period set for this revision; every certificate names the edition audited.

Auditing with other standards

Where the system is integrated with others, the standards can be audited together in one visit; duration is calculated for each standard and then adjusted for the actual degree of integration.

  • What do I need to apply?
    Legal name, sites, scope of activities, headcount and shift pattern, outsourced processes, any existing certificate, and whether you received consultancy on the system and from whom.
  • Why do you ask about consultancy?
    Because we do not certify a system on which a body related to us provided consultancy, and every application is screened for conflicts of interest before it is accepted.
  • Will the certificate carry an accreditation mark?
    Not before accreditation is granted. Certificates are currently issued without an accreditation mark.
