Start with the evidence column: register and scope entries come straight from the accreditor; “Body announcement” is the provider’s own accreditation news. Open Columns for issuing entity, AI roles, services and cost context.

From scope to shortlist

Read the clause tree

Write down which AI activities you want certified and the role you play. Match that scope to an issuing entity’s accreditation evidence. Ask each shortlisted body for a proposal that separates initial audits, surveillance, travel and any optional readiness work.

ISO’s standard page describes the management-system requirements. The cost and timeline guide adds published audit fees and named customer journeys; the company register shows why certificate scope deserves a close read.

Before you appoint a body

What gets certified?

An organization’s AI management system within a stated scope. The certificate names the covered activities, products, sites and AI roles.

ISO explanation

How do accreditation and certification differ?

The certification body audits the organization. An accreditation body assesses the certification body’s competence and impartiality. Match the legal entity and ISO/IEC 42001 scope before accepting a proposal.

DNV explanation

How much does certification cost?

Schellman puts a typical initial audit (Stage 1 and Stage 2) in the USD $20,000s–$40,000s and annual surveillance at $13,000–$20,000+, scaling with scope and complexity. Budget implementation, staff time and training separately.

Schellman cost FAQ

How long does it take?

SGS reports about six months for Godot and nine months for Brookcourt Solutions. Use those two named journeys to set your own plan with the body you choose.

Does certification replace legal compliance?

ISO states that the standard does not replace laws or regulations. Use the AIMS to organize governance evidence and assess the legal requirements that apply to each activity separately.
