WHAT IS IMS CERTIFICATION
What Is Integrated Management System (IMS) Certification?
Integrated Management System (IMS) certification combines multiple ISO standards into a single, unified system.
Instead of managing separate processes for quality, environmental, and safety standards, IMS aligns them into one structured framework that your team can operate and maintain efficiently.
This typically includes:
- ISO 9001 (Quality Management)
- ISO 14001 (Environmental Management)
- ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety)
A single third-party audit is then used to verify compliance across all standards.
Why businesses move to IMS:
- Eliminate duplicated processes and documentation
- Reduce internal workload and audit fatigue
- Create a more cohesive, scalable operating system

IMS is ideal for organisations managing multiple compliance requirements or planning to expand into additional ISO standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Integrated Management System (IMS)?
An IMS combines multiple ISO standards into a single management system, allowing organisations to manage quality, environmental, and safety requirements together.
Which ISO standards can be integrated?
Most commonly ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. Other standards can also be integrated depending on your requirements.
Is IMS certification cheaper than separate certifications?
Yes. A single audit and unified system reduces both certification body costs and internal resource effort.
Do we need to have ISO 9001 before implementing IMS?
No. You can implement multiple standards together as part of an integrated system from the start.
How does IMS improve business performance?
By aligning processes and reducing duplication, IMS improves efficiency, clarity, and consistency across operations.
Can existing ISO systems be integrated later?
Yes. Existing certifications can be combined into a single IMS framework.
