| Certification body S sent to one of my clients its guidance on ISO9001 certification. |
| In the guidance there are two flows that show from the application for the assessment to the certification. The one shows formal flow that starts the application for assessment and ends in the final assessment. |
| The other shows strange steps. It starts the application for ISO9000 training for half a year and ends in the final assessment. Seeing the guidance, I am surprised that this flow is a set of the consulting and the assessment. This is a violation of the certification rules. The flow is recently added in the guidance of Certification body S. |
| Is this one of Japanese way of ISO9000 certification? Recently I often see and hear such news about ISO9000 certifications. |
| I advised my client not to select Certification body S. |
