Until we receive an application for accreditation which details the size of your operation, it is very difficult to provide you with an accurate estimate of the cost to become UKJAS accredited.

Our fee schedule is publicly available and is made up of a payment for work component and a payment for use based upon no of mandays assessment required plus annual fee. The latter means that certification bodies with low turnovers, perhaps in developing countries, pay less than larger bodies in the West. This is an intentional feature of the UKJAS.

Certification bodies complete an application form and then submit a ‘CB profile’ and their quality system documents using an electronic checklist. The documentation is reviewed which normally gives rise to non-conformities which must be resolved. An on-site visit takes place after which another period of corrective actions is allowed. Assuming all important issues are resolved before accreditation.

All assessment fees are effort related; i.e. – dependent on the complexity of scope of accreditation being sought. These fees include not just the time the assessment team spend at your site but also office time.Ask quotation by filling Quotation request form (QRF) or mail to [email protected] or call at +91-250-2341257 / 007979801035 / 009405448532.

Can I apply for more than one accreditation?

We offer an increasing number of accreditations within the various sector and for related sectors and have developed a system whereby we can perform multiple assessments alongside each other and at minimal extra cost. You can indicate what accreditations you want to apply for on the common application form.

How long will it take to become UKJAS accredited?

We aim for a lead-in time of approximately one week to three months to arrange the first visit to your organisation. However, there are a number of aspects that impact on the timescale for the UKJAS application/assessment process e.g. a company’s state of readiness to be assessed, response times to improvement actions raised, size/complexity of scope, availability of key assessment personnel etc.

With this in mind, and, depending on the organisation being assessed we would say that the process could realistically take between 1-6 months from application to accreditation.

What if an organisation is not accredited by UKJAS, but by another Accreditation Body?

UKJAS is an independent accreditation body, along with other recognised accreditation bodies world-wide. We believe certified once , accepted worldwide.
