HiTech Service has held ISO 9001:2015 certification continuously since April 2017. The current certificate, number UA232208, was issued by Bureau Veritas Certification Holding SAS — UK Branch under UKAS accreditation and is valid until 18 April 2029.
These are the details a procurement review normally asks for, so they are stated here in full rather than summarized.
ISO 9001:2015 is a standard for a quality management system. It does not certify a product, a codebase or a single delivery. It certifies that an organization runs its work through a documented, audited system: processes are defined rather than improvised, records are kept, deviations are recorded and corrected, and an independent auditor verifies all of it on a schedule.
The distinction matters when choosing a supplier. No certificate can promise defect-free software, and a vendor who claims otherwise is describing something ISO 9001 does not do. What certification does tell you is that there is a defined way work gets done, that it is written down, and that an external body with its own accreditation to protect has checked it and will return to check again.
Accreditation. Certification bodies are themselves accredited, and that accreditation is what gives a certificate weight. UKAS is the United Kingdom’s national accreditation body, recognized under the IAF multilateral agreement, which is why a UKAS-accredited certificate issued in Kyiv is recognized by a client in Chicago or Frankfurt.
The date range. ISO 9001 certificates run in three-year cycles with surveillance audits in between, and they are conditional: validity is subject to the continued satisfactory operation of the management system. A certificate describes an ongoing state, not a past exam. Ours has been renewed across successive cycles since 2017.
The certified scope is specific: software development, quality assurance, customer support and technical support operations. Those four areas are what an auditor examined and continues to examine.
We state it precisely rather than implying the certificate blankets everything we do, because scope is exactly what a careful procurement review checks. If you are evaluating us for software development, quality assurance, customer support or technical support, the certified management system is the one running that work.
The standard is written in general management language, which makes it easy to nod at and hard to translate. In delivery work it comes down to a handful of concrete obligations.
For a client the practical value is predictability: delivery does not depend on which individuals happen to be assigned, and the evidence trail behind any decision exists and can be produced on request.
Do not take a supplier’s word for a certificate, including ours. A certificate number, a named certification body and an accreditation mark are the three things that make independent verification possible, and all three are listed above.
Bureau Veritas maintains a public certificate directory, and UKAS publishes the accredited scope of the bodies it accredits. Certificate UA232208 can be checked against both. If a supplier cannot give you a number, a body and an accreditation, there is nothing to check.
We also work on the other side of this process: preparing a management system for ISO 9001:2015 or CMMI assessment is part of our compliance audit services, which is easier to explain having been through the audit ourselves, repeatedly, since 2017.
