ISO 25000 — Quick Summary

ISO/IEC 25000 is the guide to the SQuaRE family for Systems and Software Quality Requirements and Evaluation. It is not an organisational management-system certification like ISO 9001 or ISO/IEC 27001. A SQuaRE engagement defines a software product, version, intended use, quality model, measures, test evidence and evaluation criteria, then reports product-level results.

This pack gives the website updater the approved page positioning, upload-ready copy, metadata, internal links, structured data and publishing checks. The page must preserve the distinction between certifiable management-system standards, supporting guidance and product-level evaluation.

Important: no page structure can guarantee a Google ranking. This pack is designed to improve relevance, factual accuracy, trust signals and conversion quality while avoiding unsupported promises.

ISO/IEC 25000 Software Product Quality Evaluation

Evaluate a defined software product or release using the ISO/IEC 25000 SQuaRE family. Build measurable quality requirements, select the relevant ISO/IEC 25010 characteristics and produce evidence for engineering decisions, buyer due diligence and procurement.

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.

What Is ISO IEC 25000 SQuaRE

SQuaRE is a family of standards covering quality models, measurement, quality requirements and evaluation. ISO/IEC 25000 provides the overall guide and explains how the parts relate to each other.

A project selects the SQuaRE standards relevant to the product and evaluation purpose. It should not treat ISO/IEC 25000 as a single management-system checklist.

Is ISO 25000 an Organisational Certification

No. ISO/IEC 25000 is a guide to a family of product and system quality standards. Evaluation concerns a defined product, version or system and the selected quality requirements and measures.

If a buyer asks whether the organisation is ISO certified, the likely route is a certifiable management-system standard such as ISO/IEC 27001 for information security or ISO 9001 for quality management. A SQuaRE evaluation can complement those certifications with product-specific technical evidence.

• flexibility; and

  • safety.

The model provides a common language for quality. It does not by itself define the exact target, test method or acceptance threshold for every product.

Software Quality Evaluation Process

1. Define the product, version, components, interfaces and intended context of use.

2. Identify stakeholders, buyer needs, risks and quality objectives.

3. Select relevant SQuaRE quality characteristics and subcharacteristics.

4. Define measurable requirements, test methods, data sources and acceptance criteria.

5. Prepare the evaluation plan, environments, datasets, tools and responsibilities.

6. Perform testing, measurement, review and evidence collection.

7. Evaluate results against the agreed criteria and document limitations.

8. Issue the evaluation report and prioritise corrective or improvement actions.

• defect records and corrective actions; and

  • evaluation report, limitations and version applicability.

Defining the Evaluation Scope

The scope should identify the exact product or build, included components, excluded dependencies, environments, user groups and quality characteristics. A report for one release should not be presented as permanent assurance for all future versions.

Acceptance criteria should be agreed before testing. Otherwise the project risks collecting large amounts of data without a clear decision rule.

SQuaRE for SaaS and Cloud Products

For SaaS products, the evaluation may address availability, response time, scalability, interoperability, security, privacy-related behaviour, recoverability, maintainability and user interaction. The assessment should identify which characteristics relate to the product and which relate to the supporting service or organisational controls.

• limitations, assumptions and unresolved risks; and

  • final evaluation report for the identified product version.

Cost depends on product size, architecture, platforms, integrations, selected quality characteristics, test depth, code access, environments, datasets, security testing and reporting needs. A narrow evaluation of one characteristic differs substantially from a full product assessment.

The quotation should define the product version, methods, deliverables and retesting. Avoid a universal three-year certificate or management-system surveillance schedule.

ISO/IEC 27001 certifies an Information Security Management System. ISO 9001 certifies a Quality Management System. SQuaRE evaluates product or system quality. Organisations may use more than one route because they answer different buyer questions.

For organisational information-security assurance, review ISO 27001 certification.

Why Work With London Cert

London Cert should begin with a scoping call to define the product, version, buyer requirement, quality characteristics, evidence access and intended deliverable. If the visitor actually needs organisational certification, the enquiry should be redirected before a proposal is issued.

What is ISO/IEC 25000?

It is the guide to the SQuaRE family of standards for systems and software quality requirements and evaluation.

Is ISO 25000 the same as ISO 9001 or ISO 27001 certification?

No. ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001 assess organisational management systems. SQuaRE evaluates a defined product, system or quality concern using selected models and measures.

What is ISO/IEC 25010:2023?

It provides the current product quality model used to describe and organise relevant software and system quality characteristics.

Does every evaluation use all quality characteristics?

No. The evaluation selects characteristics and measures appropriate to the product, intended use, risks and buyer needs.

What does a software quality evaluation produce?

Typical outputs include a scope, requirements and measures matrix, test plan, evidence register, results, limitations and a product-version evaluation report.

Can a report cover future software releases?

The report applies to the identified product and version unless the evaluation method explicitly defines controlled coverage for later changes.

Do SaaS companies also need ISO 27001?

Often yes when buyers need organisational information-security assurance. The SQuaRE evaluation and ISO/IEC 27001 certification answer different questions.

Define Your Software Quality Evaluation

Share the product, version, architecture, target users, buyer requirement and quality concerns. London Cert can scope the relevant SQuaRE standards, measures, testing and report, or redirect the enquiry to ISO 27001 or ISO 9001 where appropriate.

Request an evaluation scoping call or Discuss ISO 27001 certification to discuss the correct scope.

Cost & Pricing

ISO/IEC 25000 Software Product Quality Evaluation certification cost — transparent pricing

Fixed-price, all-inclusive packages. No hidden fees. No surprise invoices. The price you're quoted is the price you pay.

Why we don't publish exact prices: ISO/IEC 25000 Software Product Quality Evaluation 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.

What affects the cost?

Company Size

More employees = more audit time. Audit duration is directly tied to your employee count and the scope of operations being certified.

Number of Locations

Each additional location may require separate or extended audit time. Multi-site certifications are priced accordingly — contact us to discuss.

Industry Complexity

Simple service businesses have fewer process documents than complex manufacturing operations. Documentation scope directly affects cost.

Existing Documentation

If you already have some quality management processes documented, less preparation work is needed — which can reduce the overall cost.

Remote vs On-Site

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.

Why London Cert is cost-effective

We prepare ALL documents. You just review and approve.

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.

FAQ

ISO 25000 — every question answered

The 13 most-asked questions about ISO/IEC 25000 Software Product Quality Evaluation certification — straight, accurate answers.

ISO/IEC 25000 Software Product Quality Evaluation is an internationally recognised certification that demonstrates your organisation meets the requirements of that ISO standard, verified by an independent audit. Any business that wants to win government tenders, qualify as a corporate vendor, export internationally, or demonstrate operational credibility to clients needs ISO/IEC 25000 Software Product Quality Evaluation from an IAF-accredited body.

Official London Cert Policy

With London Cert, most businesses complete ISO/IEC 25000 Software Product Quality Evaluation certification in 3–4 weeks from consultation to certificate delivery — documentation preparation (Week 1–2), Stage 1 audit (early Week 2), Stage 2 audit (Week 2–3), and certificate issuance (Week 3–4). If you have an urgent deadline — a government tender closing, a GeM registration window — contact us immediately and we can often expedite.

Official London Cert Policy

Yes — but only if the certificate carries genuine IAF accreditation, which GeM's verification system specifically checks for. London Cert Ltd conducts your audit directly, and your certificate is issued with IAF accreditation through our accredited certification partner, so our certificates pass GeM's compliance check. Certificates without genuine accreditation (of which there are thousands in circulation in India) are rejected by GeM.

Official London Cert Policy

Every ISO management-system standard requires a defined policy, documented objectives, a scope statement, the standard's mandatory procedures, internal audit records, management review minutes, and nonconformity/corrective action records — the exact document set is driven by ISO/IEC 25000 Software Product Quality Evaluation's specific clauses. London Cert prepares all of this documentation for you — you don't need to write a single document from scratch.

Official London Cert Policy

ISO/IEC 25000 Software Product Quality Evaluation certification cost varies by company size, number of employees, number of locations, industry complexity, and documentation scope. London Cert provides fixed-price, all-inclusive quotes — no hidden fees — with a binding quote within 24 hours of your free consultation. Genuine IAF-accredited certification costs more than fake certificates, but the investment is protected: a fake certificate that gets rejected by GeM or a corporate client costs you the contract it was meant to win.

Official London Cert Policy

Absolutely. ISO/IEC 25000 Software Product Quality Evaluation has no minimum size requirement — a solo operator, a 5-person startup, and a large multi-site enterprise can all be certified, with documentation scope and audit depth proportionate to your actual size and operations. London Cert has certified thousands of Indian MSMEs with fewer than 20 employees, many getting their first certificate specifically to qualify for GeM, a government tender, or a corporate vendor programme.

Official London Cert Policy

An ISO/IEC 25000 Software Product Quality Evaluation certificate is valid for 3 years from the date of issue. Surveillance audits are required in Year 1 and Year 2 to verify your management system is being maintained and continuously improved. After 3 years, a recertification audit renews the certificate for another 3-year cycle. London Cert manages your entire surveillance and recertification schedule — your certificate will never lapse without advance notice.

Official London Cert Policy

A pure consultancy helps you prepare documentation but doesn't conduct your certification audit or issue any certificate — you'd still need to separately engage an accredited certification body. London Cert Ltd combines both roles: we prepare your documentation AND our own team conducts your full Stage 1 and Stage 2 audit, and your certificate is then issued with genuine IAF accreditation through our accredited certification partner — one coordinated process instead of managing a consultant and a separate certification body yourself.

Official London Cert Policy

Yes. London Cert offers both fully remote and on-site audits. Remote audits are available for businesses anywhere in India and globally — all Stage 1 and Stage 2 audit activities are conducted via video conference and digital document exchange. On-site audits are available in all major Indian cities and globally, if your tender or client specifically requires on-site audit evidence.

Official London Cert Policy

Yes — and this is often more cost-effective. London Cert can certify multiple ISO standards in a single integrated audit process (an Integrated Management System, or IMS). Standards share several common requirements (context, leadership, planning, support, performance evaluation, improvement), so combining ISO/IEC 25000 Software Product Quality Evaluation with another relevant standard for your industry is typically 20–30% faster and cheaper than certifying separately.

Official London Cert Policy

Non-conformities (NCs) are findings where your documented processes or their implementation don't fully meet ISO/IEC 25000 Software Product Quality Evaluation requirements. Minor NCs can be closed with corrective action evidence submitted within an agreed timeframe; major NCs require the auditor to verify closure before certification can proceed. With London Cert, our documentation preparation process ensures non-conformities are extremely rare — we prepare everything correctly before the audit, which is why we have a 100% approval rate.

Official London Cert Policy

Yes — certificates carrying genuine IAF accreditation are accepted globally in 180+ countries. Because your London Cert certificate is issued with IAF accreditation through our accredited certification partner, it signals to US federal agencies, Fortune 500 procurement teams, UAE clients, European buyers, and international procurement systems that it is genuine and internationally recognised. Our certificates have been accepted by clients in 30+ countries without any additional verification requests.

Official London Cert Policy

No — get certified to the current edition of ISO/IEC 25000 Software Product Quality Evaluation now. Existing certificates remain fully valid even after a newer edition of a standard is published, and certification bodies typically allow a transition window of two to three years once a new edition takes effect.
