What is ISO certification and why is it important?

ISO certification shows that your management system meets an internationally recognised standard — quality, environment, safety, information security, and more. In the UAE it is often a tender, client, or operator-portal requirement. It also gives you a working system for consistency, risk, and continual improvement, not only a certificate.

How do I get an ADNOC Vendor ID?

You register on the ADNOC vendor portal with complete company, financial, HSE, ISO, and ICV evidence. Core Care prepares the documentation, completes the profile, and responds to clarifications until the Vendor ID is issued. After that, category prequalification is a separate file we can run in the same engagement.

What is ICV and who needs it?

ICV (In-Country Value) scores how much of your spend, employment, and investment stays inside the UAE. Vendors selling to ADNOC and many government entities need a current ICV certificate. A higher score improves competitiveness on tenders. We help first-time applicants and organisations that need to lift an existing score.

What is TAQA registration and who is it for?

TAQA vendor registration and prequalification are required to supply TAQA group companies. The portal asks for sector-specific technical, HSE, financial, and ISO evidence. It is a separate file from ADNOC. We complete Vendor ID and prequalification end to end, including clarification rounds.

Which ISO standards do you support?

We support the major ISO management-system standards used in the UAE: 9001, 14001, 45001, 27001, 22000, 22301, 50001, 13485, 17025, 41001, 39001, and 21001, plus HACCP and related schemes.

What’s the difference between ICV and ISO?

ISO is a global management-system standard. ICV is a UAE programme that scores local value. You often need both: ISO to prove the system, ICV to prove local contribution on ADNOC and government work.

Can you help us improve our existing ICV score?

Yes. We start with a diagnostic against your current ICV certificate, identify the levers with the largest score impact, and rebuild the evidence pack ahead of the next audit cycle. We also train your team so the score holds at renewal.

Do you support municipal and ministerial registrations?

Yes — registrations across UAE departments, municipalities, and ministries are coordinated under one engagement, with one point of contact on our side.

Do you train internal auditors?

Yes. We deliver awareness sessions, internal-auditor courses, and lead-auditor preparation across the major ISO standards, built around your operations. We also guide professionals who want CQI & IRCA lead auditor credentials.

Which industries do you typically work with?

Construction, oil & gas, manufacturing, retail and FMCG, healthcare, financial services, education, food, logistics, hospitality, transport, and tech services — across the UAE.
