Common questions

Straight answers, before you ask.

Who is AmericanQMS?

AmericanQMS is an American conformity assessment body with U.S.-based leadership and an international operations team. We train organizations to internationally published ISO standards — including ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 27001, 13485, 22000, and others — audit their operations against those standards, and issue certificates upon successful completion. Our certifications serve organizations across the United States and international markets that need credible, accessible quality assurance for customers, supply chains, tenders, and supplier qualification.

Which ISO standards do you certify against?

We currently conduct conformity assessments for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 13485, ISO 22000, ISO 20000-1, ISO 50001, and ISO 22301. Need a standard not listed? Get in touch — we work across the full ISO catalog.

How long does the certification process take?

Most organizations complete the full process — gap assessment through certificate issuance — in approximately 6 to 12 weeks depending on the standard, current state of operations, and the speed at which your team can implement the required documentation and practices.

What’s included in annual surveillance?

Annual surveillance is a documented review confirming your management system remains in conformity with the applicable ISO standard. It is a lighter-touch audit than the initial Stage 2 and is included in your three-year certification cycle to maintain the certificate.

Can my customers verify my certificate?

Yes. Any party can confirm the status, scope, issue date, and expiry of an AmericanQMS certificate through our public Certificate Verification portal — using either the certificate number or the certified company name.
