GCC-Grade ISO Consultancy · Export-Industry Specialists · Audit-Ready Systems
ISO Certification Consultants in Pakistan
Same quality standards we deliver across the UAE and GCC — now serving Pakistan's export-oriented industries.
The only ISO consultancy in the GCC certified to ISO 20700:2017. Since 2016, 4,000+ clients across 7 countries.
No shortcuts. No certificate mills. No unethical certification practices.
Qdot is an established GCC-headquartered ISO consultancy certified to ISO 20700:2017 — the international standard for management consultancy services — and ISO 9001:2015. To the best of our knowledge, we are the only ISO consultancy in the GCC holding both certifications.
Our focus is exporters and businesses preparing for international buyer audits, regulatory submissions, and supply-chain compliance reviews. We turn down more enquiries than we accept — because building a system that survives a real audit takes more than a pile of generic templates.
We are not a certification body. Qdot remains deliberately neutral — we do not partner with, sell for, or receive commissions from any certification body in Pakistan or elsewhere. When we recommend a certification body, we recommend the one best suited to your buyer, audit, and regulatory expectations — nothing else.
FREE CERTIFICATE & CONSULTANT VERIFICATION FOR PAKISTANI EXPORTERS
Has your existing ISO certificate been challenged by a foreign buyer, an audit firm, or a tender authority? Are you unsure whether your current certification body operates under a recognised IAF-accredited route? Send us your certificate and we will tell you, honestly, whether it appears to be a credible accredited certificate — or whether you are at risk of acceptance problems. This free check is particularly useful for: textile and garment exporters facing EU GSP+ social compliance audits; surgical and sports goods manufacturers in Sialkot preparing for SEDEX or buyer audits; pharma exporters facing WHO-GMP or ISO 13485 reviews; IT and BPO firms preparing for ISO 27001 client audits; and food exporters preparing for HACCP and ISO 22000 buyer verification.

Why Pakistani Exporters Choose Qdot for ISO Certification
Qdot is a GCC-headquartered ISO certification consultancy that opened a Pakistan office to support the country's growing export-oriented industries. We help Pakistani exporters and serious domestic businesses across textile, garment, surgical instruments, sports goods, pharmaceuticals, IT and BPO, food and beverage, halal meat, manufacturing, construction, and financial services achieve properly implemented and internationally recognised management system certifications.
Our Pakistan office is located at 45B, Dream Garden Housing Society, Raiwind Road, Lahore, with consultants supporting clients across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Multan, Peshawar, and other major business locations across Pakistan.
As part of Qdot International — headquartered in Dubai and operating across the UAE, Qatar, Pakistan, KSA, Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait — Pakistani clients receive the same delivery standards we apply to clients like ADNOC, Al Masaood Group, Tasnee Petrochemical, Mira Aerospace, Integrated Transport Centre Abu Dhabi, AZDAN, Mazzraty (Qatar), Modern Mills (KSA), and 4,000+ others across the GCC.
Qdot has grown into a team of 19 permanent, full-time staff: 10 specialist consultants with deep expertise across QHSE, food safety, information security, business continuity, social compliance, accreditation standards, training, and product registration — supported by 9 dedicated team members. We do not use freelancers, part-timers, or sub-contracted consultants. The person who scopes your project is the person accountable for delivering it.
What Makes Qdot Different from Other ISO Consultants in Pakistan
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 Pakistani exporters to achieve.
ISO 9001:2015 Certified Ourselves
We do not only advise clients on quality management — we maintain our own certified ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, including documented processes, internal audits, corrective actions, and continual improvement.
Permanent Full-Time Staff — No Freelancers
Pakistan's ISO consultancy market is dominated by one-person freelance operators who appear and disappear between projects. Every Qdot consultant is a permanent, full-time employee with documented competence records and accountability to a project manager.
Deep Expertise in Pakistan's Export Sectors
Qdot has experience across textile and garment (SEDEX, BSCI, WRAP, SA 8000), surgical instruments (ISO 13485), sports goods, pharmaceuticals (WHO-GMP), food safety (HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, BRC, Halal), IT/BPO (ISO 27001, ISO 22301), construction, and oil and gas supply chain (ISO 29001, API).
Independent — No Certification Body Affiliations
Qdot is not a certification body, and we are not anyone's sales agent. We do not receive commissions, referral fees, or volume discounts from any certification body in Pakistan or anywhere else. When we recommend a certification body, we recommend the one that best suits your audit and regulatory expectations.
Accredited Certification Body Network
Qdot supports clients in selecting certification bodies that operate through recognised accredited routes — typically accredited by UKAS (UK), ANAB (USA), DAkkS (Germany), JAS-ANZ (Australia/NZ), PNAC (Pakistan), or other Global ACI members. Critical for EU GSP+ exporters, MNC suppliers, and US importer chains.
Service Completion & Refund Commitment
If Qdot is unable to complete the agreed consultancy scope for a reason within Qdot's control, you receive a full refund. We cannot guarantee that a certification body will issue your certificate — certification decisions must remain independent — and any consultancy that promises a guaranteed certificate is engaging in malpractice.
Long-Term Support After Certification
Qdot supports clients through Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits, closure of nonconformities, annual surveillance audits, recertification, and continual improvement. Our aim is long-term system performance and audit survival, not one-time documentation delivery. 95% of our clients stay with us long-term.
Lahore Office + GCC Backbone
Qdot operates a Pakistan office at 45B Dream Garden Housing Society, Raiwind Road, Lahore, with consultants travelling to client premises across Pakistan for kick-off, gap analysis, training, and audit support. Backed by the full Qdot International group across 7 countries.
Comprehensive ISO Certification Services in Pakistan
Qdot Pakistan offers end-to-end consultancy across the standards Pakistani exporters and serious domestic businesses actually need. Our service depth is heaviest in social compliance, food safety, information security, and oil & gas — the areas where Pakistani buyers and regulators are most active.

Qdot Pakistan's Niche Strength: We are particularly well-positioned for export-oriented Pakistani businesses needing SEDEX/SMETA, Amfori BSCI, WRAP, SA 8000, EcoVadis, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 13485, FSSC 22000, BRC, and Halal. These are the standards where buyer audits actually matter — and where cheap certification routes typically fail. If your business needs certifications that will hold up under EU GSP+ verification, MNC supplier qualification, or international tender review, this is exactly the work we are built for.
How We Get Your Business ISO Certified: 9 Clear Steps
We follow a structured methodology refined across more than 1,000 certification projects. The purpose is to build a practical system your team can understand, implement, and maintain — not generate a pile of unread documents.
Kick-Off Meeting
We meet your team at your Pakistan site, understand your business activity, define certification scope, confirm locations, identify key processes, and agree project milestones.
Planning
We prepare a project plan covering timelines, responsibilities, deliverables, document requirements, training needs, and suitable certification body options matched to your buyer and regulatory expectations.
Gap Analysis / System As-Is Study
Our consultants assess your current processes, documentation, records, site practices, and compliance posture against the selected ISO standard and any relevant Pakistani regulatory or export-buyer requirements.
Awareness Training
We train your team on the selected standard, implementation expectations, process ownership, records, risks, and day-to-day responsibilities. Training delivered in English and Urdu as needed.
Documentation Development
We develop or revise manuals, policies, procedures, work instructions, forms, registers, process maps, and records based on your actual business — not generic templates downloaded from the internet.
Training on the Developed System
We explain the developed system to process owners and relevant staff so the procedures, forms, and records are used properly in day-to-day operations — not filed and forgotten.
Implementation Support
We support implementation, record generation, corrective action tracking, internal audits, management review meetings, and readiness checks.
Certification Audit Support
We help you coordinate with a suitable independent accredited certification body and support your team during Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits, including nonconformity closure where applicable.
Post-Certification & Surveillance Support
We continue supporting annual surveillance audits, recertification cycles, corrective actions, system improvement, and any client-specific compliance needs that emerge over time.
Typical Timeline in Pakistan: For a small company with around 10 to 20 staff pursuing a single standard, the typical timeline is approximately 45 to 75 days, subject to cooperation, documentation availability, implementation readiness, and certification body scheduling. Larger, multi-site, or multi-standard projects — particularly textile mills implementing full social compliance suites (SEDEX, BSCI, WRAP) or pharma manufacturers pursuing ISO 13485 and WHO-GMP — typically require 90 to 150 days depending on scope and complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions About ISO Certification in Pakistan
No, and that is deliberate. Pakistan's ISO consultancy market has a large segment of one-person operators selling cheap documentation packages and unaccredited certificates. Qdot does not compete in that segment. Our fees reflect permanent full-time staff, a documented quality management system, GCC-grade delivery standards, and audit-survival outcomes. If your business will be audited by serious foreign buyers, MNC procurement teams, or regulators, our work pays for itself many times over.
Our Pakistan office is at 45B, Dream Garden Housing Society, Raiwind Road, Lahore. Our consultants work on-site at client premises across Pakistan — we believe real engagement at your facility produces better systems than desk-based template delivery.
Yes. Qdot Pakistan serves Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Multan, Peshawar, and other major business locations across Pakistan. Our consultants travel to your site for kick-off, gap analysis, training, audits, and key project milestones.
No. Qdot is an independent consultancy. We do not partner with, sell for, or receive commissions from any certification body in Pakistan or elsewhere. When we recommend a certification body, we recommend the one best suited to your buyer, audit, and regulatory expectations — nothing else.
If your buyer requires an IAF-accredited certificate — which virtually all serious international buyers do — then yes. Qdot only routes clients to certification bodies that operate under recognised accredited routes (UKAS, ANAB, DAkkS, JAS-ANZ, PNAC, or other Global ACI members). For specific buyer programmes like SEDEX SMETA, Amfori BSCI, WRAP, EcoVadis, or C-TPAT, the relevant scheme owner manages the audit — we prepare you to pass it on the first attempt.
PNAC accredits certification bodies and laboratories in Pakistan; it does not accredit consultancies. Qdot recommends certification bodies accredited by PNAC, UKAS, ANAB, DAkkS, JAS-ANZ, or other recognised accreditation bodies depending on what is most appropriate for your buyer and tender expectations.
Pakistan's continued EU GSP+ status depends partly on compliance with international labour and human rights conventions, which textile and garment exporters demonstrate to EU buyers through audits like SEDEX SMETA, Amfori BSCI, WRAP, and SA 8000. Qdot has deep experience preparing Pakistani exporters for these audits and is one of the few consultancies in Pakistan that treats this as a core specialism.
Yes. ISO 14001:2026 was published on 15 April 2026 and replaces the 2015 edition. The transition period runs to around May 2029. Qdot is implementing new projects directly against the 2026 edition and supporting existing ISO 14001:2015 clients through transition. ISO 9001 is also expected to be revised in 2026; we will support transitions to that edition when it is published.
The total cost depends on your company size, the standard(s) you need, your number of locations, your sector, and your chosen certification body. Qdot fees are quoted transparently after a scoping discussion. The certification body charges its own fees separately — we do not bundle, mark up, or take commissions on certification body fees. Request a free quote here.
For a small company with around 10 to 20 staff pursuing one standard, the typical timeline is 45 to 75 days. Larger multi-site or multi-standard projects — particularly full textile social compliance suites or pharma ISO 13485 plus WHO-GMP — typically take 90 to 150 days, subject to client cooperation, documentation readiness, and certification body scheduling.
No. Qdot is an ISO consultancy firm. We help you design, implement, document, train, audit, and prepare your management system. Certification is issued only by an independent certification body, and the final certification decision remains with that body.
It depends on your industry, customers, and export markets. Textile and garment exporters typically need ISO 9001, ISO 14001:2026, ISO 45001 plus the social compliance stack (SEDEX, BSCI, WRAP, SA 8000). IT services firms typically need ISO 27001 and ISO 22301. Surgical and medical device manufacturers need ISO 13485. Food exporters need HACCP, ISO 22000, and often FSSC 22000 or BRC. Oil and gas supply chain vendors need ISO 29001 and possibly API. We will help you decide during your initial consultation.
Qdot guarantees professional consultancy support within the agreed scope. We do not guarantee that a certification body will issue a certificate — certification decisions must remain independent. If Qdot is unable to complete the agreed consultancy scope for a reason within Qdot's control, you receive a full refund. Any consultancy in Pakistan that promises a guaranteed certificate is engaging in malpractice.
No. All Qdot consultants are permanent, full-time employees. We do not use freelancers, part-timers, or sub-contracted consultants. This is a deliberate quality and accountability decision. The person who scopes your project is the person accountable for delivering it.
Yes. Qdot is certified to ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management System) and ISO 20700:2017 (Management Consultancy Services). To the best of our knowledge, we are the only ISO consultancy in the GCC certified to ISO 20700.
Yes. Qdot can support IRCA-certified Lead Auditor training programmes in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad through approved training arrangements, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001:2026, ISO 45001, ISO 22000, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, and other standards where available.
