How much does ISO 9001 certification actually cost?

There is no single price: it depends on the number of employees, sites and complexity. At the free initial assessment you receive an accurate, transparent quote with no obligation.

Are the consultant and body fees the same?

No. The consultant fee (us) covers the study and preparation. The certification body fee covers the audit and issuing of the certificate. We separate them clearly in the quote.

Can I get funding for ISO certification?

Yes. The certification expense is eligible in many ΕΣΠΑ programmes for SMEs. We inform you of active programmes and the funding rate.

Is there an annual cost after certification?

Yes, but lower: the certificate is valid for 3 years with 2 annual surveillance audits. We take on the support so you maintain it stress-free.

Is it cheaper to certify to several standards at once?

Yes. Integrated development and auditing of several standards (e.g. 9001 + 14001 + 45001) significantly reduces total cost versus certifying separately.

Cost guide

ISO Certification Cost

The cost of ISO certification is not an opaque number. It is made up of specific, transparent components — and in many cases it is funded through ΕΣΠΑ (EU/Greek grants). Below we explain exactly what you pay and why.

The most common question we get is “how much does certification cost”. The honest answer: it depends on your company size, the standard and the complexity of your processes. There is no one-size-fits-all price list — but there is full transparency. At the free initial assessment you receive a clear quote, with the consultant fee separated from the certification body fee, and no hidden charges.

What the cost is made of

Consultant fee

The study, design and documentation of your management system, training your team and preparing you for the audit. This is a one-off cost and it is our part.

Certification body fee

The fee of the accredited body (e.g. ΕΣΥΔ) that performs the audit and issues the certificate. It is independent of us — we help you choose the most suitable one.

Annual surveillance

The certificate is valid for 3 years with 2 annual surveillance audits. The maintenance cost is clearly lower than the initial certification.

What shapes the price

✓ Size & number of employees — the main driver of audit days.
✓ Number of sites / branches included in the scope.
✓ Standard & process complexity (e.g. ISO 9001 vs ISO 27001 or HACCP).
✓ Maturity level — if procedures already exist, implementation time drops.
✓ Integrated certification of several standards together (reduces total cost).

ΕΣΠΑ funding — certification can cost you very little

The cost of consulting support and ISO certification is an eligible expense in many ΕΣΠΑ programmes and development incentives for small and medium enterprises. This means a significant part — and in some actions the largest part — of the expense can be covered by a grant. We inform you of active programmes and guide you to make the most of every available funding.
