ISO certificate status check

Before accepting an ISO certificate, confirm its current status. A certificate can look valid on paper but still be suspended, withdrawn, expired, outside scope, or not traceable to an accredited certification body.

Status meanings

  • Active: Certificate is currently valid according to the available registry or issuer record.
  • Suspended: Certificate is temporarily restricted and should not be accepted without clarification.
  • Withdrawn: Certification has been cancelled and should not be treated as valid.
  • Expired: Validity period has ended; request a renewed certificate.
  • Not found: Needs manual verification through the certification body and accreditation body.

Status check workflow

  1. Search by certificate number and company name.
  2. Check expiry date, current status, and surveillance history.
  3. Match certificate scope with the claimed service or product.
  4. Escalate suspended, withdrawn, expired, or not-found records for manual review.

Why status matters for procurement

Procurement teams often collect ISO certificates during vendor onboarding, tenders, audits, and contract renewals. The important question is not just whether a PDF exists, but whether the certificate is currently valid and relevant to the purchased service.

A supplier with an expired or suspended certificate may not meet contractual, regulatory, export, or tender requirements. Document the status check date, source, and result for your audit trail.

Check certificate status

Search the isoStatus registry, then validate critical supplier evidence with the certification body, accreditation body, and official IAF CertSearch where applicable.
