ISO 22222 Certification Cost in India (2026)

ISO 22222 certification costs ₹50,000 to ₹2,70,000 all-inclusive, depending on headcount, sites and process complexity. One price covers consulting, documentation, training, internal audit and the IAF-accredited certification-body audit — no separate CB invoice.

What drives the cost

• Number of planners certified
• Existing SEBI/CFP documentation
• Certification body availability

Costs people forget

• Surveillance audits in year 2 and 3 (about 30% of the initial all-inclusive price each)
• Calibration of measuring equipment and lab testing where the standard requires it
• Infrastructure fixes found in the gap assessment (signage, storage, PPE, flooring)
• Auditor travel for plants outside metro cities
• Staff time for training and internal audit (plan 2–4 person-days)

Frequently asked questions

What is the total cost of ISO 22222 certification for a small company?

₹80,000–₹1,50,000 all-inclusive for a 25–100 staff unit — consulting, documentation, training and the certification-body audit. Surveillance audits in year 2 and 3 are quoted separately.

Are there recurring costs?

Yes. Surveillance audits in year 2 and year 3 cost about 60% of the initial certification-body fee each; recertification in year 3 is roughly the initial fee again.

Is there a government subsidy?

MSME units may claim reimbursement of ISO certification cost under the MSME ISO/HACCP scheme (up to 75% of the fee, capped) where the scheme is active in the state. We help with the paperwork.

Why are some providers quoting ₹5,000?

Those are unaccredited certificate mills. The certificate is not recognised by IAF, tenders or OEMs, and is often rejected outright.
