ISO Integrated Management Systems

Integrated management systems are based on integrating any two or more ISO standards. Most typically, an integrated management system includes:

• Quality Management – ISO 9001:2015
• Environmental Management – ISO 14001:2015
• Occupational Health & Safety Management – ISO 45001:2023 

However, it’s possible to select other ISO standards as part of an integrated management system, such as:

• Information Security Management – ISO 27001:2022
• Energy Management – ISO 50001:2018

If you’re asking this question then the answer is probably yes! If you’re keen to:

• show a strong commitment to efficient operations across your business
• reduce administration
• improve inter-department working, and
• speed up decision making

you should consider an integrated management system.

In short, any business can implement an Integrated Management System, and there is no limit to the number of processes that can be integrated. Our clients range from sole traders and SMEs through to local government departments and well-known brands.

Establishing a management system which covers different areas of your business will require a degree of co-ordination. However, once you have implemented your integrated management system and can evidence a willingness for continuous improvement, you’re all set!
We ask simply that you provide a single point of contact for us to work with. And we would always recommend involving your staff. This ensures that they understand the reasons behind seeking ISO certification and the benefits it will bring.
Remember, all ISO certification clients receive up to 4 hours of free consultancy within the first 12 months. Beyond that, we offer any consultancy and training that you want.

You will need a documented integrated management system as well as proof of implementation and documented processes and procedures.
Remember, we’re here to guide you on your journey. We will support you in ensuring that your documentation is sufficient to ensure a successful audit.

The beauty of an IMS is that you will be audited only on the single integrated system; not individually on the separate management systems within it. This saves you time and effort when compared with being audited multiple times.
Also, with ISO-Cert Online Ltd, the audits are remote, which means that they are all carried out online.
We operate this way because it offers time and cost savings to our clients. It also reduces the inevitable stress that face-to-face audits can create.
When we start working together, we prepare and supply all of the relevant template documents for the IMS.
For an audit, we assess the evidence that your documents are being implemented.
No fuss, no stress, no operational downtime.

After being successfully audited, your certificates are valid for one year. Thereafter, an annual cycle of auditing your IMS will begin at the end of your first year.

Having an integrated management system speaks highly of your business. It shows that you want your business to be as efficient, productive, safe and sustainable as possible.  It also demonstrates that you care about the interests of your staff, your customers and the wider world.
