Core Pricing Principles Followed by Adequs
✓
No Misleading "Government Fee" Labels:ISO is a voluntary international standard. Registrars are accredited certification bodies, not government ministries. We maintain strict naming transparency.

IAF MD5 Mandatory Auditor-Days Matrix:Headcount strictly determines how many days an accredited auditor must audit your premises, preventing sudden post-booking fee escalations.
✓
Multi-Standard Synergy Savings:Combining standards (like ISO 9001 + ISO 14001 + ISO 45001) under Annex SL High-Level Structure reduces consulting redundancy by 7% to 12%.
