ISO 9001:2026 transition — deadline 30 September 2029

Your quality department, outsourced. No hiring, no overload, no conflict of interest.

exoqual takes charge of your quality function across the full spectrum: ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 22000, 27001, 26000, 21001, SA 8000 and more. An internal quality lead trained on your premises, 62 experts available for each assignment, and a third-party certification body that stays independent.

The 2026–2029 window
30 Sept. · 2029

Transition deadline for ISO 9001:2026, published on 16 September 2026. Stronger requirements on external providers and on quality culture.

Every company already certified must pass its audit again before September 2029. Uncertified companies that want to start now have three years to get ready. exoqual is your operational arm for this window — training your internal lead, upgrading documentation, running internal audit campaigns, preparing the third-party audit.

Choose your path

Three profiles, three starting points.

exoqual adapts to your quality maturity. You are not three times the same company — and you don't get the same proposal.

Path A

You have no quality department

5 to 50 employees · first system to build

exoqual becomes your quality department. Lead training, full implementation, certification preparation.

Start my quality department →
Path B

Your quality manager is overstretched

50 to 250 employees · quality manager in place

exoqual reinforces your team. Internal audits, certification preparation, hotline, supplier campaigns.

Strengthen my team →
Path C

Your quality department is under-resourced

250+ employees · established department

exoqual is your operational arm. One-off assignments, cover, multi-site, 9001:2026 preparation.

Our promise

Three pillars an in-house team can't deliver all at once.

€

Savings

40% to 70% less than an equivalent in-house quality department, fully loaded salaries included. Simulator in the assessment.

✦

Expertise

A network of 62 experts covering 20+ standards — quality, OHS, environment, information security, CSR, education. You never depend on a single specialist.

⊗

Independence

Strict separation from any certification body in the group. Contractual clause in every quote. Your third-party audit stays third-party.

Full spectrum

Twenty standards covered, one point of contact.

Our clients often combine several standards (e.g. integrated 9001 + 14001 + 45001, or 9001 + 26000 + SA 8000). exoqual orchestrates them without multiplying consultancies.

Four verticals

We speak your sector's language.

Each vertical has its own assessment, standards, vocabulary and dedicated experts. A food-industry executive doesn't buy like a manufacturing executive, and the site recognises that in three clicks.

Our cornerstone

An internal lead on your team, trained by us.

exoqual doesn't replace a quality employee: we train one on your team. Over 3 to 5 days, we prepare one of your staff to speak ISO and keep the system running between our visits. They become your local relay; we become their operational arm.

Why does it change everything? Because the knowledge stays with you — no absolute dependency, no know-how walking out the door at the end of an assignment. That's the difference between a consultancy that leaves with its notes and exoqual, which leaves a trained relay in place.

Certification transparency

We support. Others certify.
It's in black and white.

A firm that supports you cannot audit you afterwards — that is the very rule of independence. exoqual never works with a certification body from its own group, and says so in its quotes.

Whitelist — exoqual partner certification bodies

Permanent exclusions — any certification entity of the IIFRAN and ISCT groups is excluded from the partner list. Clause included in every exoqual quote.

The assessment takes 10 minutes, it's free, and it gives you a priced range — not a marketing brochure.
