Switching Your ISO 45001 Certification

ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems Certification – NDC Certification Bureau Your Questions Answered

Can we use ISO45001 certification from a non-UKAS accredited certification body?

Yes. There is no UK law or ISO requirement that says ISO certification must be issued by a UKAS-accredited certification body. ISO standards are voluntary frameworks, and certification can be provided by any competent, independent third party—as long as they don’t falsely claim UKAS accreditation. NDC Certification Bureau operates legally and transparently, offering ISO certification based on internationally accepted auditing practices.

UKAS-accredited certification means that the certification body has been officially assessed and approved by the UK’s National Accreditation Body (UKAS). Non-UKAS certification, like a conformity assessment body (CAB) like NDC, still follows ISO/IEC 17021 auditing principles, but without UKAS oversight. Both demonstrate conformity to ISO standards, but only UKAS certification carries formal national accreditation. Many organisations choose non-UKAS certification to reduce cost, time, and bureaucracy—especially for non-safety-critical industries.

No. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) does not perform or require any specific form of certification. In fact, ISO states clearly:

“ISO does not perform certification… Accreditation is not an obligation.” This means you are free to choose how to demonstrate your conformity with ISO standards—including working with NDC Certification Bureau.
UKAS certification is only required when:

  • A regulatory body mandates it (e.g. medical, construction, aerospace)
  • A specific customer contract or tender demands UKAS-accredited certification In all other cases—especially for internal improvement, supply chain trust, or general business credibility—non-UKAS certification is a valid and effective alternative.
Yes. Many of our clients take a blended approach. For example:

  • Keep ISO 9001 certified through a UKAS-accredited provider (if required by customers)
  • Use NDC to certify to ISO 14001, ISO 45001, or ISO 27001 via independent third-party audit This approach saves time and cost while ensuring compliance across multiple standards.
In most cases, yes. Especially if the certification is:

  • Issued by a reputable body like NDC with experienced auditors
  • Supported by solid evidence (audit reports, certificates, internal systems) We help you build credibility by providing clear, transparent audit trails and reporting that demonstrate you meet the ISO requirements. Many buyers (including NHS Trusts, local authorities, and SMEs) accept non-UKAS certification as long as it is backed by competent third-party evidence.
  • Lower cost and admin burden (up to 60% internal resource savings)
  • Flexible audit scheduling and support
  • Faster certification process
  • Modern digital tools via our ISOComply365 platform and AI audit assistants
  • Friendly, expert-led audits focused on improvement, not red tape
  • NDC follows ISO/IEC 17021 principles for management system auditing, including:

    • Independent, qualified auditors
    • Documented audit methodology
    • Robust internal review and certification process We also use AI-enhanced auditing tools and maintain clear boundaries between auditing, training, and consultancy services—ensuring impartial and credible results.

  • Yes. If you successfully complete our third-party audit and meet the requirements of the standard (e.g. ISO 9001, 27001, etc.), you will receive a formal certificate of conformity issued by NDC Certification Bureau. You may state that your organisation is certified to the relevant ISO standard, provided it’s clear who issued the certification (i.e. NDC, not UKAS).

Switching your ISO 45001 certification to NDC Certification Bureau can deliver significant cost savings by reducing the time, effort, and internal resources required to maintain compliance.

 

Our approach combines expert auditing services with advanced tools, including our UK-hosted AI assistant and ISOComply365 software platform. These tools streamline key tasks such as document control, audit preparation, non-conformance tracking, and environmental performance reporting—saving your team valuable time and reducing the need for manual processes.

 

Through remote audit support and digital guidance, we eliminate unnecessary travel, consultant fees, and time-consuming admin work, making certification more efficient and budget-friendly.

 

Additionally, if your organisation operates multiple ISO standards (e.g. ISO 9001, ISO 45001, or ISO 27001), NDC can help you integrate these into a single, unified management system (IMS). This not only simplifies compliance but also reduces duplication, audit days, and overhead—creating further savings and operational efficiencies.

 

The Result?


A streamlined, cost-effective certification process with up to 60% savings on internal resource time, all supported by experienced UK auditors and smart compliance technology.
