Accreditation and verification
Standards and industrial services in Kuwait sit under the Public Authority for Industry, whose standards department (KOWSMD) is Kuwait's ISO member body. For certification itself, what matters commercially is that the certificate comes from a body accredited by an IAF member, which government entities and public procurement commonly expect.

How certification works
- Choose the standard and scope
The scope statement decides what the certificate actually covers, so it is worth getting right before anything else. It names the activities, and the sites, that are being certified. - Submit your documentation
Your management system documentation is reviewed against the standard. Gaps are identified at this point rather than during the audit, which is where most delays otherwise occur. - Stage 1 audit
A readiness review. The auditor confirms that the system is documented, that internal audits and management review have taken place, and that you are ready to be assessed against practice. - Stage 2 audit
The implementation audit. The auditor tests whether the system described is the system being operated, by examining records and interviewing the people who do the work. - Certification and surveillance
Once any findings are closed, the certificate is issued and listed for verification. Certificates run on a three-year cycle with annual surveillance audits to keep them valid.
