ISO 9001:2015

Businesses today seek to offer products and services that not only meet but also surpass customer expectations. At the same time, they are under pressure to cut costs to remain competitive. Organisations both large and small require a comprehensive approach to quality improvement that resolves these challenges of quality and cost efficiency.

What is ISO 9001?

The ISO 9001 Quality Management System is the world’s most popular quality improvement standard, with over one million certified organisations in 180 countries around the globe. It is the only standard in the 9000 family of standards published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that can be used for the purpose of conformity assessment. ISO 9001 also serves as the basis for many other important sector-specific standards, including ISO 13485 medical devices), ISO/TS 16949 (automotive) and AS/EN 9100 (aerospace), as well as widely used management system standards such as OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001.

Why is it important?

ISO 9001 certification demonstrates your organisation’s ability to consistently meet and exceed customer expectations. For this reason, many buyers require suppliers to be ISO 9001 certified to minimise their risk of purchasing a poor product or service. A business that achieves ISO 9001 certification will be able to attain significant improvements in organisational efficiency and product quality by minimising waste and errors, and increasing productivity.
