ISO 9001 is the world’s most recognized quality management system standard worldwide.
ISO 9001 provides a set of principles to help you design and implement a Quality
Management System (QMS) that ensures the consistent delivery of products and services in
accordance with customer and regulatory requirements. An ISO 9001-compliant QMS allows
you to continually monitor quality across your business and identify areas for improvement.
It contributes to greater customer satisfaction, improved operational efficiency, and a culture
of continuous improvement among your staff.
Certification process
The latest version of ISO 9001 was published in September 2015. To obtain ISO 9001 certification, an
organization must complete the following steps:
- 1. Estabish an ISO 9001-compliant QMS
- 2. Confirm its functionality and compliance through internal audits
- 3. Undergo a Certification Audit conducted by an accredited Certification Body
Quality management design principles
A risk-based approach is essential to the design and implementation of an effective QMS,
allowing areas of non-conformity to be identified and mitigated. The ISO 9001 standard
proposes the following quality management principles for designing an effective QMS:
- Customer focus
- Leadership at all levels of the organization
