ISO 9001

ISO 9001 is the most widely recognised quality management system standard in the world. It demonstrates your organisation’s commitment to supplying a product or service that consistently meets your customers? requirements.

UKAS accredited ISO 9001 certification is frequently a condition of being a supplier to large companies, Local Government departments or Government funded bodies (e.g. NHS, MOD).The emphasis of ISO 9001:2015 is on maintaining well defined operating processes and striving to continually improve what you do ? to the benefit of your customers, your staff and your organisation. It does not require you to change any of your operating processes but simply ensure that they are consistent and controlled.A good Quality Management System is built around the business and not around the standard. It should be easy to maintain and set up so you can focus on your business needs and not on ISO 9001.The ISO 9001 process provides a robust framework for improving every organisation?s quality system adopting eight quality management principles:
 
  1. Customer focus
  2. Leadership
  3. Involvement of people
  4. Documented processes
  5. Integrated systems
  6. Continuous improvement
  7. A factual approach to decision making
  8. Mutually beneficial supplier relationship
