Route to Registration

BSI Management Systems' registration process makes it easy and economical for you to become registered. Unlike other registrars, BSI Management Systems' certificates do not expire at the end of three years. They are contingent on meeting agreed contractual requirements and validity is maintained through a process of continual assessments and strategic reviews. Also there are no hidden costs for recertification. The BSI Management Systems' ISO 14001 registration process contains the following options:

STAGE 1: Prepare to apply

Contact BSI Management Systems
We can help you find the service that best suits your needs and send you a wide range of supporting literature.


STAGE 2: Application process

Quotation given
After assessing your needs we will give you a formal quotation so that you know how much your registration will cost.

Formal application
Once you have completed an application form, return it to us with your registration fee.

Client Manager
You will be allocated with a personal Client Manager, (if you don't already have one) upon return of your form and fee. They will be your exclusive link throughout the registration process and beyond, chosen specifically for their knowledge of the nature of your business.


STAGE 3: Pre-assessment
