ISO 9001

  

ISO 9001

ISO 9001 was first published in 1987 and it outlines the core components of a quality management system and the quality requirements that all industries should achieve.   

It is the largest scheme of its kind, with over 1 million certified organisations worldwide, who are committed to providing quality.   

Implementation of the scheme enables best practice to be achieved within any organisation, creating processes and prescribing controls, which are applicable to all products and services.   The overall result is an organisation which is more efficient and cost effective.

The ISO 9000 series contains several standards:

  • ISO 9000 - Fundamentals and Vocabulary
  • ISO 9001 - Requirements
  • ISO 9004 - Guidelines for Performance Improvement

Each of these standards aims to bring together principles of good business practice – customer focus, leadership, involvement of people, process approach, system approach to management, continual improvement, fact based decision making and mutually beneficial supplier relationships.

Who is ISO 9001 Applicable to?

Regardless of the size of the organisation, the business activities or location, ISO 9001 is applicable to any organisation which is seeking to introduce quality into its operations and activities.   The biggest gains come from organisations willing to commit to full scale implementation across all locations and subsidiaries.
