IOS 10002 FAQs
Is ISO 10002 a requirement for my business?
ISO 10002 certification is not a universal requirement for businesses but should be considered based on factors such as customer expectations, industry standards, regulatory obligations, and the desire to gain a competitive edge.
How difficult is it to attain ISO 100002 accreditation?
The difficulty of attaining ISO 10002 accreditation varies depending on factors like organization size, complexity, and the state of existing quality management systems.
