General misunderstanding

ISO is not a certification body, but  is an international standard developer. Issuing the ISO certificate is the responsibility of the certification body.

ISO does not have ISO certificate information and cannot verify the authenticity of the certificate and whether it has expired. You need to check with the corresponding certification body.

ISO standards are not used for certification purposes. Certification is voluntary.
