Certification support for global organizations

Find the right certification route before you pay.

Send us the buyer, tender, marketplace, or internal requirement. AQX reviews the standard, applicant name, scope, evidence, timeline, and acceptance risk, then confirms the route and price before any paid work starts. Eligible certificate records can be verified online by certificate ID.

What AQX helps with

Turn a vague certificate request into a clear next step.

Many buyers only say "send ISO certificate" or "provide compliance certificate." AQX helps identify what is being requested before you pay for the wrong route.

1

Requirement review

We review buyer, tender, marketplace, bank, investor, or internal wording and separate certificate requests from audits, policies, or evidence files.

2

Standard mapping

AQX helps map the request to standards such as ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 42001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and sector routes.

3

Scope wording

We help define the legal holder, covered activities, sites, services, exclusions, and limitations in language a buyer can understand.

4

Verification record

Eligible issued records can be checked online by certificate ID, including holder, standard, scope, status, dates, and route notes.

Possible deliverables

A reviewed file, clear certificate wording, and a public record where eligible.

The exact deliverables depend on the requested standard, scope, route, evidence, and final review outcome. AQX does not promise automatic issuance, but it does keep the process clear before payment.

About AQX

Clear certification guidance for companies that need to move quickly.

AQX helps applicants understand what can be reviewed, what can be certified, what evidence is needed, and what a buyer can verify later.

AQX is

A certification support and verification service.

AQX reviews the applicant, intended scope, target standard, buyer requirement, timeline, and available documents before confirming pricing or supporting certificate records.

AQX is not

ISO, IAF, or a national accreditation body.

AQX does not claim ISO endorsement or IAF-member accreditation unless a specific accreditation body, number, and scope are expressly stated for a particular route.

Buyer acceptance

Your customer requirement decides what route is suitable.

If your customer, tender, regulator, or marketplace requires an IAF-accredited certificate, tell AQX before payment. A private-framework certificate may not satisfy every requirement.

Accredited vs Private

Check acceptance before choosing a certificate route.

Some buyers require IAF-accredited management-system certification. Others accept a private-framework certificate, supplier evidence file, or internal readiness record. AQX helps identify the difference before paid work begins.

IAF-accredited route

Use this route when accreditation is explicitly required.

Usually required when the tender, regulator, marketplace, or customer asks for IAF, UKAS, ANAB, CNAS, another national accreditation body, or an accredited certification body.

  • Longer process and stricter audit pathway.
  • Acceptance depends on the named accreditation scope.
  • AQX should be told before payment if this wording appears.
AQX private-framework route

Useful when the buyer accepts a private certificate route.

Suitable for many supplier onboarding, credibility, platform, partner, and internal-readiness cases where the buyer accepts a private certificate route.

  • Scope and evidence reviewed before payment.
  • Certificate sample and registry fields are clear.
  • Buyer acceptance still needs to be checked.
Issuing and verification

Every certificate record should show the holder, scope, dates, route, and status.

AQX supports private-framework certification services under the International Evaluation and Certification Center (IECC) framework where applicable. Eligibility depends on reviewed scope, evidence, suitability, and registry status.

The sample below is not an issued certificate. It shows the fields buyers usually need to check: legal holder, country, standard, approved scope, dates, certificate ID, route notes, and verification path.

Process

Review first. Quote second. Issue only when the file is ready.

AQX separates inquiry, requirement review, pricing, evidence review, certificate decision, and public verification so applicants understand each step.

Submit requirement

Share the legal name, country, target standard, customer requirement, deadline, and intended scope.

Scope and eligibility review

AQX checks whether the requested organization, operations, locations, and exclusions can be described as a certifiable scope.

Route recommendation

AQX confirms whether the requested certificate route is suitable, whether another route should be considered, or whether the buyer requirement needs clarification.

Quote and payment instructions

Card, PayPal, or bank transfer instructions are sent only after suitability and price are confirmed.

Evidence readiness review

AQX reviews submitted policies, procedures, records, licenses, website or product context, and other evidence relevant to the scope.

Certification decision

Issuance is not automatic. The certificate decision depends on verified information, evidence sufficiency, and any required corrections.

Registry and maintenance

Eligible issued records are added to the public verification page with status, dates, scope, and framework notes.

Pricing

Price is confirmed after scope review.

AQX does not use one global price for every applicant. A simple online service, a multi-site factory, and a regulated sector request need different review work.

$

Standard

Quality, security, AI, environmental, safety, food, medical, and special routes may require different checks.

S

Scope

Number of entities, sites, departments, services, products, and exclusions affects review depth.

D

Documents

Ready policies, records, licenses, screenshots, audits, and supplier files can reduce back-and-forth.

T

Timeline

Urgent buyer deadlines may require priority handling, but issuance still depends on review outcome.

Payment control

Do not pay until AQX confirms route, scope, price, and payment method.

Payment instructions are sent only after the application is reviewed. Payment does not guarantee certificate issuance.

Prepare before applying

Good applications include the buyer wording and real operating evidence.

You do not need a perfect file before contacting AQX, but the review is faster when the basic company, scope, and document context is clear.

Useful documents and details

  • Legal company name, country, website, and business activities.
  • Exact buyer, tender, platform, or procurement requirement.
  • Sites, departments, services, products, or apps to include.
  • Policies, procedures, records, licenses, screenshots, or previous audits.
  • Deadline, preferred payment method, and any acceptance concern.

Standards

Start with the requirement, then choose the standard.

The same company may need different routes for procurement, security review, ESG, food safety, medical-device quality, or AI governance. AQX reviews the exact requirement before recommending a route.

General vendor approvalISO 9001

Use when a buyer asks for quality management, supplier control, process consistency, or a general ISO certificate.

SaaS, fintech, IT, dataISO/IEC 27001, 27701, 27017

Use for information security, privacy, cloud controls, procurement security questionnaires, and enterprise vendor onboarding.

AI products or automationISO/IEC 42001

Use for AI governance, risk management, responsible AI controls, model oversight, and emerging AI procurement requirements.

Factory, logistics, constructionISO 14001, 45001, 50001

Use for environmental management, health and safety, energy, ESG, and operational-risk expectations.

Food, cosmetics, medicalISO 22000, 22716, 13485

Use for food safety, cosmetic GMP context, and medical-device quality management routes.

Not sure yetAsk AQX to map it

Paste the buyer's exact requirement. AQX can identify whether it is a certificate request, audit request, policy request, or special review.

Expanded intake catalog

More routes can be reviewed, but not every standard is a normal certifiable management-system certificate.

Some standards are certifiable management-system routes, some are guidance standards, and some are special buyer requirement reviews. AQX labels the route before payment so applicants do not confuse a guidance review with an accredited management-system certificate.

Why AQX

Built for applicants who need clarity before spending money.

AQX is designed for organizations that need practical guidance, readable scope wording, and certificate records that can be checked later.

A

Buyer wording review

AQX reads the requirement before recommending a standard or route.

B

Defined scope language

We help convert websites, services, teams, and locations into proper organization-scope wording.

C

Payment after approval

Payment instructions are issued after review, not before route suitability is checked.

D

Verification-ready records

Eligible issued records can show status, dates, framework, scope, and limitations.

Who can apply?

Organizations and owner-operated businesses with a defined operational scope.

A website, store, or app is usually not the certification holder by itself. The applicant should be the organization or business operator responsible for the management system, process, product, service, or operational scope.

Good applicant descriptions

  • Registered company providing SaaS services to enterprise customers.
  • E-commerce operator with defined sourcing, fulfillment, support, and quality controls.
  • Owner-operated consulting business with documented service delivery processes.
  • Factory, logistics provider, school, nonprofit, clinic, or service organization with defined sites and activities.
Verification

What a public registry record can confirm.

A certificate record can show the certificate ID, organization name, standard or route, scope, status, issue date, expiry date, framework, and limitations visible to AQX.

Open Verification Page
Boundary

What it cannot guarantee.

Verification does not prove that every buyer, regulator, marketplace, or accreditation scheme will accept the certificate. Buyer acceptance should be checked before payment.

Ask About Buyer Acceptance
Frequently asked questions

Questions buyers and applicants usually ask first.

If a requirement is sensitive, paste the exact buyer or tender text into the application form before making payment.

Who issues the certificate?

The certificate route and issuing details are shown on the certificate and registry record. AQX supports private-framework certification services under the IECC framework where applicable.

Is AQX an IAF-accredited certification body?

AQX does not claim IAF-member accreditation unless a route expressly lists a specific accreditation body, number, and scope. Tell us if your buyer requires an IAF-accredited route.

Does ISO issue or endorse certificates?

No. ISO develops standards but does not issue certificates or endorse AQX certificates. Certification is performed by external bodies and schemes.

Can a website or online store be certified?

The applicant should be the organization or business operator. The website, store, app, or platform can be part of the scope when it reflects real operations and controls.

When do I pay?

Payment instructions are sent after AQX reviews suitability, scope, and price. A payment request is not a certificate approval.

Does payment guarantee issuance?

No. Issuance depends on verified organization details, scope, evidence, corrections if needed, and final review outcome.

How can a buyer verify a certificate?

Use the certificate ID on the verification page. The record may show status, dates, scope, framework, and any limitations visible to AQX.

What if my buyer rejects the route?

Buyer acceptance should be checked before payment. If the buyer requires a different route, AQX can help clarify the requirement before paid work starts.

Which standards are supported?

AQX reviews common ISO management-system routes, digital/security routes, AI routes, sector routes, and special buyer requirements. Eligibility depends on scope.

How fast can this be completed?

Timing depends on standard, scope, evidence readiness, payment confirmation, and required corrections. Urgent requests should include the buyer deadline.

Can multi-site companies apply?

Yes, but sites, activities, exclusions, and evidence must be described clearly. Multi-site pricing and suitability are reviewed before payment.

Can AQX provide a receipt or invoice?

AQX can send payment instructions before payment and payment confirmation after cleared funds. Avoid calling pre-payment emails a receipt.
