Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. NexCert Global is officially authorized and registered by QGoS (Qatar General Organization for Standards) to provide ISO certification services in Qatar. This makes our certificates fully compliant with Qatar's national quality and accreditation framework. In addition, our certifications are issued under IAS (USA) accreditation — an IAF full member — making them recognized in over 100 countries worldwide.

QGoS (Qatar General Organization for Standards) is Qatar's national standards authority. An ISO certification provider that is registered with QGoS has been formally authorized by the State of Qatar to issue certifications within the country's official quality framework. This means your certificate is recognized by Qatar's own government standards body — not just by an overseas accreditation body. It is the local credential that makes your international accreditation complete.

IAS (International Accreditation Service) is a leading U.S.-based accreditation body and a full member of the IAF (International Accreditation Forum). IAF membership is the global benchmark for accreditation credibility — certificates from IAF-member-accredited bodies are recognized by governments, buyers, and regulators in 100+ countries. Not all certification bodies hold IAF-member accreditation. NexCert Global does.

Accredited certification is issued by bodies independently assessed against ISO/IEC 17021 by a recognized national accreditation body that is a full IAF member. Non-accredited certificates have not undergone this oversight and are frequently not accepted in international tenders, government procurement, or by global buyers. NexCert Global certificates are QGoS-authorized AND IAS (USA) accredited — the strongest possible credential combination for businesses in Qatar.

Timelines depend on the size and complexity of your organization and the standard chosen. Typically, ISO 9001 for an SME can be achieved in 4-12 weeks. Larger organizations may take 3-6 months. We provide a realistic, personalized timeline after an initial consultation.
