Qdot International Consultancy is certified to ISO 20700:2017 — the international standard for management consultancy services — and ISO 9001:2015. To the best of our knowledge, Qdot is the only ISO consultancy across the GCC certified to ISO 20700:2017. We hold ourselves to the same rigorous standard we ask our clients to achieve.
Qdot is not a certification body.

We work transparently with certification bodies accredited under UKAS, EIAC, DAkkS and other recognised Global ACI members. We never sell certificates. We never partner with certificate mills. And we never compromise on the integrity that has earned us long-term relationships with ADNOC, Tasnee Petrochemical, Modern Mills, Al Masaood Group, AZDAN, Mazzraty and 4,000+ others.

Qdot supports organisations across Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait with ISO consultancy, gap analysis, documentation, training, implementation support, internal audit, management review and certification audit preparation. Our regional experience helps companies build systems that work in their real operations — not paperwork prepared only for an audit file.
We are a pure ISO consultancy firm, not a certification body. We work transparently with certification bodies accredited under UKAS, EIAC, DAkkS and other recognised members of the Global ACI.

What Makes Qdot Different from Other ISO Consultants in KSA, Oman, Bahrain & Kuwait
GCC's Only ISO 20700 Certified ISO Consultancy
ISO 20700:2017 is the international standard for management consultancy services. To the best of our knowledge, Qdot is the only ISO consultancy in the GCC certified to ISO 20700:2017. We hold ourselves to the same standard we ask our clients to achieve.
ISO 9001:2015 Certified Ourselves
We don't just advise on quality management — we live it. Qdot is a certified ISO 9001:2015 organisation, with documented processes, internal audits, corrective actions and a quality management system that mirrors what we build for you.
We Only Work With IAF-Accredited Certification Bodies
We partner with SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek, FAHSS, DNV, TÜV SÜD, URS, KBS, TÜV Rheinland and TÜV Apex — all accredited under UKAS, EIAC, DAkkS and other IAF members. We will never recommend a certificate mill, regardless of price.
Performance Guarantee
We deliver on our commitments. If we fail to complete your ISO certification consultancy as agreed, you receive a full refund. We do not guarantee that the certification body will award a certificate — any consultancy that promises this is engaging in malpractice.
Deep Regional Expertise Across 4,000+ Engagements
Since 2016 we have delivered consultancy across oil & gas, construction, food manufacturing, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, trading, laboratories, inspection bodies, facility management and the service sector across the GCC and Pakistan.
Long-Term Partnership, Not a One-Time Transaction
We are not a drop-the-documents-and-disappear consultancy. We support clients through stage 1 and stage 2 audits, help close non-conformities, and continue supporting annual surveillance audits and recertifications year after year. 95% of our clients stay with us long-term.
Saudi Arabia is one of the region's most active markets for ISO consultancy, driven by Vision 2030 mega-projects and rapid development in industrial cities, logistics, food manufacturing, healthcare, technology, energy and construction. Companies operating in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Al Jubail, Yanbu, Al Khobar, Mecca, Madina, Tabuk, NEOM, KAEC, Jazan and Ras Al-Khair require ISO certification to qualify for tenders, satisfy client requirements, improve internal controls and grow within an increasingly competitive market.
Oman's economy is built around manufacturing, logistics, ports, construction, oil and gas, tourism, fisheries, food, engineering and trading. Organisations in Muscat, Sohar, Salalah, Duqm, Sur, Nizwa, Rusayl and Barka increasingly use ISO standards to improve operational consistency, meet customer expectations and participate in local and international supply chains.
Kuwait has a strong base of oil and gas, petrochemical, construction, trading, logistics, healthcare, IT, food and service businesses. Organisations in Ahmadi, Fahaheel, Mina Abdullah, Mina Al Ahmadi, Hawally, Farwaniya and Jahra rely on ISO certification to meet client requirements, strengthen internal processes and participate in large-scale projects and supply chains. For the oil, gas and petrochemical supply chain, we also support ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, ISO 29001, ISO 27001 and ISO 22301.
Qdot's Niche Strength: While most consultancies focus only on common standards, Qdot has deep specialist capability in ISO 22301, ISO 27001, ISO 50001, ISO 41001, ISO/IEC 17020, ISO/IEC 17025, SEDEX/SMETA and EcoVadis — exactly the standards regional businesses increasingly need.

Frequently Asked Questions — ISO Certification in KSA, Oman, Bahrain & Kuwait
What is ISO certification?
ISO certification is independent confirmation by a certification body that an organisation has implemented a management system according to a specific ISO standard — such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 22000, ISO 27001 or ISO 22301.
Is Qdot a certification body?
No. Qdot is a pure ISO consultancy firm. We help organisations prepare for certification through gap analysis, documentation, training, implementation support and audit preparation. The certificate is issued independently by an accredited certification body after a successful audit. We have no commercial relationship with any specific certification body, so our advice is always independent.
Which countries does isoqdot.com cover?
isoqdot.com is the Qdot regional platform for Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait. Qdot also operates dedicated websites for the UAE (qdot.ae), Qatar (qdot.qa) and Pakistan (qdot.pk).
How much does ISO certification cost in KSA, Oman, Bahrain or Kuwait?
Cost depends on the selected standard, number of employees, number of sites, business activities, system complexity and certification body fees. Qdot provides a clear, transparent quotation after understanding your scope. Request a free quote here.
How long does ISO certification take?
For a small company (10 to 20 staff) certifying to a single standard, the typical timeline is 45 to 60 days. Larger organisations, multi-site companies and integrated management systems may require 90 to 120 days depending on scope and complexity.
Which ISO standard is right for my business?
ISO 9001 is the most common starting point for quality management. Manufacturers typically add ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. Food businesses need ISO 22000 or HACCP. IT and finance firms need ISO 27001. Oil and gas vendors may need ISO 29001. We will help you decide during your free consultation.
Can Qdot support multi-country companies across KSA, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait?
Yes. We support organisations with operations across Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar and Pakistan. The scope can be designed for single-site, multi-site or group-level certification depending on business needs and certification body rules.
What is the difference between accredited and non-accredited ISO certificates?
An accredited certificate is issued by a certification body recognised under the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), via accreditation bodies like UKAS, EIAC or DAkkS. Non-accredited certificates are often issued by certificate mills, are not internationally recognised and may be rejected by clients, government bodies and tender authorities. Qdot only works with IAF-accredited certification bodies.
Why should we avoid very cheap ISO certificates?
Very cheap or instant ISO certificates are typically linked to weak implementation or unaccredited certificate mills. Such certificates are routinely rejected by serious customers, tender authorities and government entities across the GCC. Qdot supports proper implementation and accredited certification routes only.
Do you provide ISO training?
Yes. Qdot provides awareness training, internal auditor training and corporate on-site training. Training can be customised to the selected standard and industry sector across all four countries.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes. If Qdot is unable to complete your project for any reason on our end, you receive a full refund. We do not guarantee that the certification body will award a certificate — the certification body is independent and that decision is theirs alone. Any consultancy promising a guaranteed certificate is engaging in malpractice.
Do you support clients after certification?
Yes. We support all annual surveillance audits, recertification audits, system updates and continual improvement. 95% of our clients stay with us long-term.
Is Qdot itself certified to any ISO standard?
Yes. Qdot is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and is the only ISO consultancy in the GCC certified to ISO 20700:2017 — the international standard for management consultancy services.
