Better business, better regulation, better products and services
ISO International Standards ensure that products and services are safe, reliable and of good quality. For business, they are strategic tools that reduce costs by minimizing waste and errors, and increasing productivity. They help companies to access new markets, level the playing field for developing countries and facilitate free and fair global trade.
The benefits of International Standards
Using standards can offer a set of powerful business and marketing tools for organizations of all sizes. You can use them to fine-tune your performance and manage the risks you face while operating in more efficient and sustainable ways; they’ll allow you to demonstrate the quality of what you do to your customers; and they help you to see how to embed best practice into your organization Even though you may not realise it, International Standards (ISOs) are everywhere, informing and shaping the products and services we buy, ensuring safety and quality. Conforming to the standards set, help to reassure consumers that businesses they buy from are operating in a safe way, producing reliable goods without unduly harming the environment.

ROYAL CROWN® ISO Consultancy and Audit Services fulfil the needs of companies and organisations from the public and private sectors, including industrial and service sectors, of all sizes and structures.
An ISO Certificate is not all about a piece of paper. An ISO Certificate signifies, assures and proves that you have a system that covers all the activities, processes, procedures and employees that you have designed, constructed and conducted in compliance with ISO International Standards and ISO requirements, and that you are capable of maintaining the continuity of them all. In other words, ISO Certificates are about ISO Systems. Thus, having an ISO Certificate means having a system compliant with ISO International Standards and ISO requirements.
It is not an easy task to properly integrate ISO Systems into the structure of an organisation or to build a brand-new system compliant with ISO requirements. Above all, designing, structuring and planning such a system for all activities, procedures and employees is a task that needs to be handled by professionals. In the following step, putting down all the aspects of the system on paper, in other words, completing the documentation with many technical details, is also a task that requires expertise. Putting a designed system into practice and giving the necessary instructions and training to the employees require professionalism. Furthermore, after putting a system into practice, it is essential to manage it in a way that maintains its continuity.
ROYAL CROWN® is here to provide professional support for processes that consist of challenging tasks, such as building and maintaining a system in compliance with ISO Standards, registering the system with the ISO Certificate and maintaining the continuity of the system. Moreover, it helps make all these processes easy, less costly and more productive thanks to its strong and experienced team of consultants.
ROYAL CROWN® fully supports its clients with its professional team throughout all the steps that an organisation should complete to register its system with an ISO Certificate.
In the preparation stage, an organisation preparing for ISO Systems and Certifications needs to inform its employees, organise, design and plan its systems in compliance with ISO requirements. At this stage, ROYAL CROWN® guarantees appropriate structuring and planning thanks to its robust know-how and knowledge, its vast experience in working with different organisations, and most importantly, its ability to meticulously analyse the structure and the needs of the client. With regard to needs for employee-oriented awareness and informative training programmes, ROYAL CROWN Academy®, on the other hand, provides solutions through its numerous training programmes.
In the stage of documentation, all the plans and procedures are put down on paper, and it is essential to completely fulfil the various technical requirements of ISO at this stage. However, it is quite challenging to comprehend, interpret and implement the ISO procedures. At the stage of documentation, ROYAL CROWN® ensures that the required documentation of the client organisation has been properly prepared to pass the ISO Certification audit thanks to its experienced, attentive and punctilious team of consultants and auditors equipped with the necessary technical knowledge
When an organisation is at the stage of integrating its planned and documented system for all activities, processes and employees, the instructions and workflows are prepared, the processes are reviewed one by one, and the necessary improvements are carried out. The instructions are supported by certain training courses obligatory for all employees and by specific and technical training programmes for particular units and processes.
ROYAL CROWN® undertakes a mission to provide consultancy and guidance to your organisation through the necessary processes for the successful integration of ISO systems thanks to its experienced team specialised in a variety of areas. It is also your organisation’s solution partner with its hundreds of training programmes. You can either select the appropriate training course among those which include internationally accredited and certified courses or request a special in-house training course, specific to your organisation, provided by the expert and experienced team of trainers.
The ISO internal audits are self-audits that test whether an organisation fulfils the ISO requirements. These internal audits are conducted not only in the process of applying for ISO certification registration for the first time, but also periodically after obtaining it. Internal audits can be conducted either internally by one or more employees of the organisation who are trained in ISO auditing, or externally by a third-party supplier company as an objective eye to achieve a higher level of professionalism.
ROYAL CROWN® has provided services to many differently structured corporate clients from various sectors and has been able to analyse their specific needs thoroughly to date. The company is your ideal solution partner thanks to both its meticulous attention to detail and its team of expert consultants and auditors who are IRCA certified internal auditors and lead auditors. The company also provides IRCA Certified Internationally Accredited Training Programmes both for organisations who aim to train their own internal auditors and for professionals who want to be certified internationally as an internal auditor and/or lead auditor.
In addition to its services for previous stages, ROYAL CROWN® always stands with its clients during the preparation process for ISO certification registration audits to help them undergo a successful audit. It offers valuable advice to achieve an audit with a conformity result.
ISO Audits are periodically repeated after obtaining the related ISO Certificate. The renewal audits ensure the conditions for the certification are still fulfilled and identify whether the ISO requirements are still met after a certain time period. The independent auditors in the certification renewal audits follow steps similar to the certification registration audits. However, the certification bodies authorised to conduct certification registration audits are not allowed to conduct the certification renewal audits due to matters of impartiality and ethics. Periodic certification renewal audits can again be conducted by other authorised independent auditors.
As a company authorised for ISO Certification renewal audits, ROYAL CROWN® meticulously carries out all the necessary tasks for the continuation of the ISO Certificate. It conducts regular audits for renewal after the certification, reports them in accordance with ISO requirements and submits the results to certification bodies. It also follows the registration procedure and process for the continuation of ISO certification and ensures the continuity of the ISO Certification.
During the periods between the periodical ISO certification renewal audits, ROYAL CROWN® helps its corporate clients maintain and preserve a system in compliance with the requirements of ISO Standards and Systems, through its services including consultancy, documentation, internal auditing, training, and IRCA Approved and Certified Lead Auditor/Internal Auditor assistance. The company continues to provide guidance and ISO related services when changes are made in the organisation, and it ensures those changes are properly integrated into the system and in compliance with the requirements of ISO.

Quality management systems
ISO 9001 is defined as the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. It is the most popular standard in the ISO 9000 series and the only standard in the series to which organizations can certify.
ISO 9001 was first published in 1987 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), an international agency composed of the national standards bodies of more than 160 countries. The current version of ISO 9001 was released in September 2015.
ISO 9001:2015 specifies requirements for a quality management system when an organization:
a) needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, and
b) aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
All the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 are generic and are intended to be applicable to any organization, regardless of its type or size, or the products and services it provides.
What topics does ISO 9001:2015 cover?
ISO 9001 is based on the plan-do-check-act methodology and provides a process-oriented approach to documenting and reviewing the structure, responsibilities, and procedures required to achieve effective quality management in an organization. Specific sections of the standard contain information on many topics, such as:

The certification process includes implementing the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 and then completing a successful registrar’s audit confirming the organization meets those requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
ISO 14001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for an effective environmental management system (EMS). It provides a framework that an organization can follow, rather than establishing environmental performance requirements. Part of the ISO 14000 family of standards on environmental management, ISO 14001 is a voluntary standard that organizations can certify to. Integrating it with other management systems standards, most commonly ISO 9001, can further assist in accomplishing organizational goals.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) defines an environmental management system as “part of the management system used to manage environmental aspects, fulfill compliance obligations, and address risks and opportunities.” The framework in the ISO 14001 standard can be used within a plan-do-check-act (PDCA) approach to continuous improvement.
What topics does ISO 14001:2015 cover?
At the highest level, ISO 14001:2015 covers the following topics with regard to environmental management systems:

To get started with ISO 14001:2015:
ISO 45001:2018 specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, and gives guidance for its use, to enable organizations to provide safe and healthy workplaces by preventing work-related injury and ill health, as well as by proactively improving its OH&S performance. ISO 45001:2018 is applicable to any organization that wishes to establish, implement and maintain an OH&S management system to improve occupational health and safety, eliminate hazards and minimize OH&S risks (including system deficiencies), take advantage of OH&S opportunities, and address OH&S management system nonconformities associated with its activities. ISO 45001:2018 helps an organization to achieve the intended outcomes of its OH&S management system. Consistent with the organization's OH&S policy, the intended outcomes of an OH&S management system include:
a) continual improvement of OH&S performance;
b) fulfilment of legal requirements and other requirements;
c) achievement of OH&S objectives.
ISO 45001:2018 is applicable to any organization regardless of its size, type and activities. It is applicable to the OH&S risks under the organization's control, taking into account factors such as the context in which the organization operates and the needs and expectations of its workers and other interested parties. ISO 45001:2018 does not state specific criteria for OH&S performance, nor is it prescriptive about the design of an OH&S management system. ISO 45001:2018 enables an organization, through its OH&S management system, to integrate other aspects of health and safety, such as worker wellness/wellbeing. ISO 45001:2018 does not address issues such as product safety, property damage or environmental impacts, beyond the risks to workers and other relevant interested parties. ISO 45001:2018 can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve occupational health and safety management. However, claims of conformity to this document are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization's OH&S management system and fulfilled without exclusion.
What are the benefits of ISO 45001?
An ISO 45001 based OH&S management system will enable an organisation to improve its OH&S performance by:
