Since 1993, the ISO Survey has provided an annual snapshot of valid certificates to some ISO management system standards worldwide. From 2025 onwards, the Survey will be compiled directly from anonymised, aggregated data in IAF CertSearch, the global database of accredited management system certifications.
IAF CertSearch is a comprehensive and trusted source of global certification coverage, delivering the most complete, up-to-date results while streamlining and reducing the reporting burden for certification bodies.
The ISO Survey counts the number of certificates issued by certification bodies that have been accredited by members of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), uploaded to IAF CertSearch.
Accessing the ISO Survey
The ISO Survey is now produced and hosted on IAF CertSearch.

Note: IAF CertSearch is developed and operated by Quality Trade, a joint partner of both ISO and IAF.
ISO does not perform certification. Organizations looking to get certified to an ISO standard must contact an independent certification body. Learn more about how to get certified.
