ISO/IEC 25000 is the guide document to the SQuaRE series — Systems and Software Quality Requirements and Evaluation — a family of over 20 standards providing quality models, measures, and evaluation processes for software and data quality. This is fundamentally different from a management-system certification like ISO 9001 or ISO 27001. It's a technical, product-level evaluation: a specific software product or version is assessed against defined quality characteristics using code analysis and testing, not an organisation-wide process audit.
Everywhere else on this site, London Cert describes IAF-accredited management-system certification: ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 22000, and similar standards, where we audit your organisation's processes through Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits and your certificate is issued with IAF accreditation through our accredited certification partner. ISO/IEC 25000 works differently. Within the SQuaRE series, the actual quality model is defined in ISO/IEC 25010, measures are defined in the ISO/IEC 25020–25024 range, and the evaluation process itself is defined in ISO/IEC 25040. Evaluation is conducted against a specific software product or version — through static code analysis, dynamic testing, and metric-based assessment — not an organisational process audit.
💡 If your goal is an organisational management-system credential (the kind that satisfies enterprise vendor-qualification checklists asking "are you ISO certified?"), ISO 9001 or ISO 27001 are the standards to pursue. ISO 25000/25010 evaluation is a complementary, product-specific technical exercise — most valuable for demonstrating the engineering quality of a particular product to technical buyers, not as a substitute for organisational certification.
ISO/IEC 25010 defines nine software product quality characteristics — functional suitability, performance efficiency, compatibility, usability, reliability, security, maintainability, portability, and (in more recent updates) safety — each broken into measurable sub-characteristics. An evaluation assesses your specific product against relevant characteristics for its context of use, producing quantified evidence rather than a pass/fail management-system determination.
Critical: Only certificates issued by IAF-accredited bodies are genuinely valid for GeM, CPPP, and international procurement. India has thousands of fraudulent ISO bodies selling unaccredited certificates that are regularly rejected by compliance teams. London Cert is IAF-accredited.
India already runs its own structured software and website quality framework for government-facing digital platforms: GIGW 3.0 (Guidelines for Indian Government Websites and apps), administered jointly by NIC, STQC, and CERT-In, resulting in Certified Quality Website (CQW) certification from STQC after document review, front-end/back-end testing, and security audit (via CERT-In/STQC-empanelled labs). GIGW 3.0 covers 88 mandatory guidelines across accessibility, security, content, and lifecycle management domains — quality dimensions that overlap conceptually with ISO 25010's characteristics (functional suitability, security, usability), even though GIGW is India's own domestic scheme, not literally ISO 25000-based.
For software vendors selling into multiple markets — not just Indian government platforms — an ISO 25000/25010-based technical quality evaluation is a complementary, internationally recognised way to demonstrate product engineering quality, alongside (not instead of) India-specific compliance like GIGW/STQC for government-facing products.

GeM, CPPP, UPEIDA, PSUs — a large share of Indian government procurement lists ISO 25000 Certification as an eligibility criterion. We build your certificate and documentation around what your specific tender requires.
Tata, L&T, Reliance, Infosys, Wipro — major corporates require ISO 25000 Certification from all tier-1 and tier-2 vendors. It's the baseline quality signal that corporate procurement teams look for first.
Buyers in USA, UAE, Europe, and UK increasingly require ISO 25000 Certification before signing supply contracts. We help you meet the documentation standards international buyers expect.
ISO 25000 Certification forces systematic process documentation, internal audits, and management reviews that produce real operational improvements — reduced defects, faster delivery, lower costs.
Many MSME schemes, state industrial park registrations, and working capital loan applications require ISO 25000 Certification. Certification unlocks government benefits your business is already entitled to.
In competitive pitches, the certified vendor wins more often. Clients choose certified vendors — especially in manufacturing, IT, construction, and food processing — for perceived reliability and quality commitment.
Real, verified reviews from businesses we've certified across industries and countries.
“Getting ISO 25000 Certification certified with London Cert was far smoother than our previous agent. Documentation, audit scheduling, everything was handled — and the certificate held up fine on our GeM tender review.”
“We needed ISO 25000 Certification quickly for a client contract. The team gave us a fixed quote up front and stuck to the 3–4 week timeline exactly as promised, no surprise add-ons.”
“Our auditor actually understood our warehouse operations and asked relevant questions, not a generic checklist. ISO 25000 Certification certification felt like a real assessment, not a formality.”
“Buyers overseas verified our ISO 25000 Certification certificate directly on London Cert's portal before signing off — that verifiability made a real difference in closing an export contract.”
“As a small business, we were worried about cost and complexity. London Cert scoped the ISO 25000 Certification audit to our actual size — no unnecessary paperwork, and it unlocked an MSME scheme we didn't know we qualified for.”
“Renewal for our ISO 25000 Certification certificate was straightforward — the surveillance audit was scheduled well in advance and the auditor's feedback actually helped us tighten our documentation.”

Why we don't publish exact prices: ISO 25000 Certification certification cost depends on your specific company size, number of locations, number of employees, industry, and documentation complexity. A fixed published price would either overcharge small businesses or undercharge complex ones. Contact us for a personalised, binding quote within 24 hours — specific to your business.
More employees = more audit time. Audit duration is directly tied to your employee count and the scope of operations being certified.
Each additional location may require separate or extended audit time. Multi-site certifications are priced accordingly — contact us to discuss.
Simple service businesses have fewer process documents than complex manufacturing operations. Documentation scope directly affects cost.
If you already have some quality management processes documented, less preparation work is needed — which can reduce the overall cost.
Remote audits are available for all businesses and are typically more cost-effective. On-site audits are available for clients who need or prefer physical presence.
Most certification companies require you to hire a separate consultant to prepare documentation — and then pay the certification company for the audit on top. London Cert does both. This integrated approach saves time and significantly reduces total cost.

The 13 most-asked questions about ISO 25000 Certification certification — straight, accurate answers.
No. ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certify an organisation's management system through Stage 1/Stage 2 audits. ISO/IEC 25000 (SQuaRE) evaluation is a technical, product-level assessment of a specific software product or version against the ISO 25010 quality model — functional suitability, reliability, performance efficiency, usability, security, and other characteristics — typically involving static/dynamic code analysis and metric-based testing, not an organisational audit.
