ISO Certification Consultants in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain & Kuwait
The GCC's only ISO 20700 certified consultancy. Since 2016, Qdot has helped 4,000+ organisations across KSA, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait implement practical management systems and achieve accredited ISO certification.
No shortcuts. No certificate mills. No malpractice.
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 prepare organisations for certification through gap analysis, documentation, training, internal audit and certification audit support, then help them select an independent accredited 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.
Established in 2016, Qdot serves Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait through the isoqdot.com regional platform, backed by active offices in Dubai, Doha and Lahore and a permanent team of 19 specialists.

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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions — ISO Certification in KSA, Oman, Bahrain & Kuwait
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. We support SABER, SFDA, IECEE, G-Mark, KUCAS and other market-access requirements depending on the product and target country.
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.
Yes. We support all annual surveillance audits, recertification audits, system updates and continual improvement. 95% of our clients stay with us long-term.
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.
