UkrSEPRO Certificates for 5 year serial production: In this case, even if the company has ISO 9000 from western organizations, it is not enough to obtain the 5 year certificate. The Ukrainian Certification Organ will check the manufacturer as if an Ukrainian ISO certificate hall be issued.

Because of these reasons we don't advise this kind of certification to the companies because it became difficult and expensive.
