How do I obtain an ISO 9001 certificate?

An ISO 9001 certificate is tested by accredited certification organizations. This is done through an audit. During this audit, the auditor tests the design and operation of the quality management system based on various steps. It’s important to comply with the demands of the ISO 9001 before getting into an audit. However, don’t make it more difficult than it has to be.
