The cost depends on the size of the company, the standard to be certified (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 27001, ENIS, CSR, etc.) and the scope. The cost of the certification body is added to this amount.

The ISO consultancy in Barcelona is responsible for designing, implementing and preparing the management system to ensure the success of the certification. For SMEs in Barcelona, the ISO implementation is tailored to their structure, resources and sector, avoiding unnecessary bureaucracy and prioritising efficiency, competitiveness and genuine compliance.
