Build better business with trusted certification

Achieve internationally recognised standards

Certification to ISO and New Zealand Standards demonstrates your organisation's commitment to quality, safety, sustainability, and continual improvement. Independent certification provides assurance to customers, regulators, employees, and stakeholders that your systems and processes meet internationally recognised best practice. 

Achieving certification through Telarc is more than a compliance exercise. Our audit programmes are designed to help organisations strengthen performance, manage risk, improve operational efficiency, and create a culture of continual improvement. Certification can enhance your reputation, increase customer confidence, support tender and procurement requirements, and provide a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

For organisations seeking sustainable growth, certified management systems can also provide employee engagement, strengthen governance, and create greater consistency across business operations.

Established by the New Zealand Government as a standards auditing organisation, Telarc has been helping Kiwi businesses and organisations achieve certification and business excellence for more than five decades. Our experienced auditors work with clients to deliver audits that add value, identify opportunities for improvement, and support long-term success.

Whether you are seeking certification for the first time or maintaining compliance with established standards, Telarc provides the expertise, integrity, and support to help your organisation achieve internationally recognised excellence.

Achieving Certification with Telarc

Contact Telarc using our quote request form and we will help you through the process to achieve the certification(s) your organisation strives for.

The standards can be complex, but we’ve made it easy with simplified self-evaluation checklists that break down what you need to have implemented to meet the requirements of the standard. You can use the checklist to determine to what extent you already meet the requirements to become accredited, and which gaps need to be addressed.

Once you’re satisfied that your organisation meets the requirements, Telarc will audit your systems and either issue the certification or identify non-conformances that you need to address before certification is granted.

After you have achieved certification, Telarc will perform an annual audit to ensure that your organisation continues to meet the required standards.
