EdelCert International is a certification body that certifies ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management systems for construction, transport and logistics organisations in South Africa and beyond. Findings are recorded against the clause and the evidence observed.
Our management system is established to ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015. Our application for accreditation by IAS is in process and no accreditation is currently held.
Whichever standard your organisation needs, every certification follows the same disciplined process, scoped to your sites, activities and headcount.
ISO 9001 is the international standard for quality management systems. Certification shows customers, principals and regulators that your organisation plans its processes, controls its risks, measures its results and improves on them.
Demonstrate consistent quality and customer satisfaction across your operations, wherever they are based.
ISO 9001 in detail ISO 14001ISO 14001 is the international standard for environmental management systems. Certification demonstrates that environmental impacts, from fuel and waste to water and noise, are identified, controlled and actively reduced, and that legal obligations are tracked and met.
Show regulators, customers and communities that environmental risk is identified, controlled and improved.
ISO 14001 in detailThe scope we have applied to IAS for is deliberately narrow: construction (IAF code 28) and transport, storage and communication (IAF code 31). These are industries where tenders, principals and regulators ask for proof, and where the audit has to reflect how the site actually runs.
A clear path, the same one on every engagement. The full process is on How certification works.
We size the audit to your sites, headcount and scope using IAF MD 5, and issue a fixed offer in writing.
A documentation review, then an on-site audit of your management system as it is practised, with findings tagged to clauses and evidence.
A certification decision-maker who was not on the audit team reviews the findings and any corrective actions.
Your certificate is issued for a three-year cycle, kept live by annual surveillance audits and a recertification audit in year three.
EdelCert International runs its certification process on its own audit software: pipeline through offer, contract and invoicing; a phone-first fieldwork tool with photo, voice and clause-level evidence; corrective actions and a branded report generated automatically. Certification bodies and independent auditors can use the same software for their own work.
Short, direct answers. The services and accreditation pages go into more depth.
EdelCert International certifies management systems against ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management); the services page explains which edition. Our application for accreditation by IAS covers the construction sector (IAF code 28) and transport, storage and communication (IAF code 31).
No. EdelCert International (Pty) Ltd is an applicant for accreditation by the International Accreditation Service (IAS). We do not currently hold accreditation. This means that certificates we issue at present are not accredited certificates, and we do not describe them as such. We tell every client this in writing before any audit is contracted. See our accreditation status.
EdelCert International (Pty) Ltd is incorporated in South Africa, with its registered office in Cape Town. We do not perform audits ourselves: audits are performed on our behalf by qualified certification bodies and contracted auditors, working under our authorisation and to our procedures. The certification decision is never delegated.
It depends on how ready your system is. The sequence is a Stage 1 documentation review, a Stage 2 on-site audit, closure of any non-conformities, and an independent certification decision. Once issued, the certificate is valid for three years with annual surveillance audits.
Audit duration follows IAF MD 5, based on your headcount, number of sites and process complexity. We quote a fixed number of audit days in writing before you commit, with no hidden day rates.
Tell us your standard, sites and headcount, and we will come back with a scoped written offer.
