MYTH: The procedure for obtaining ISO certification requires you to pass an audit.
TRUTH: It’s not a matter of passing or failing an audit. When the certification auditor comes and reviews your system, they measure the processes you have in place against the requirements set by the standard. If they find areas of non-conformance, that does not mean that you have failed an audit – it simply means that you will need to address and fix those issues before you receive your ISO certificate.
