Generally, the certification time can be divided into three parts: the time before the on-site inspection + the time from the inspection to the certification decision + the time for the enterprise to make rectification = the time to obtain the certificate. The time before the on-site inspection mainly depends on the time the enterprise takes to prepare the materials, which means that this part of the time is controlled by the enterprise itself. It takes 30 days from the on-site inspection to the issuance of the certification decision. The time for the enterprise to make rectification also depends on the speed of the enterprise's rectification, which is still controlled by the enterprise itself. The entire process from applying for certification to obtaining the certificate can be completed in 2 to 3 months if the enterprise actively cooperates.
