Beware: The Hidden Charges Trap
Common Hidden Charges by Unethical Consultants
Many ISO consultants quote a low fee (e.g., Rs.3,000-5,000) and then add charges for: documentation (Rs.10,000+), training (Rs.5,000+), CB audit travel (Rs.8,000+), CB audit fees (Rs.15,000+), and certificate registration. Total ends up Rs.50,000+. Always ask for a complete all-inclusive quotation before engaging any consultant.
How to Save on ISO Certification Cost in India
1. Get Multiple Standards Together — IMS Bundle
If you need ISO 9001 + ISO 14001 + ISO 45001 (Integrated Management System), getting all three together typically saves 30-40% vs certifying separately. The documentation overlap is significant.
2. MSME Packages
If your business is registered under Udyam/MSME, ask specifically for MSME-discounted pricing. Elite Assured offers special packages for MSME businesses with EMI options.
3. Good Existing Documentation
If your business already has documented processes, SOPs, or quality procedures from a previous certification or internal initiative, this reduces the documentation work significantly.
