ISO 9001 CERTIFICATION

What is ISO 9001?

ISO 9001:2000 is an international standard that gives requirements for an organisation's Quality Management System (QMS). It is part of a family of standards published by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) often referred to collectively as the ISO 9000 series.

ISO 9001:2000 is based on eight management principles. These are:

• Customer focus
• Leadership
• Involvement of people
• Process approach
• System approach to management
• Continual improvement
• Factual approach to decision making
• Mutually beneficial supplier relationships

Why should my organisation implement ISO 9001?

Many companies see the introduction of a quality management system as a major step forward in controlling and improving their key processes. Others simply react to customer demands that their suppliers should have suitable systems.

Why should my organisation apply for ISO 9001 certification?

Satisfactory assessment of your management system leads to the award of a certificate of registration. The value of a certificate of registration and its credibility depends on the organisation that issues it and the status that the organisation has gained in the market place. World Certification has achieved UKAS and ANAB Accreditation to provide ISO 9001 certification and that enables clients to use the UKAS tick and crown and ANAB logos on stationery and marketing material. Other benefits of registration could include:

• Internal operational efficiency
• Lower production costs because of fewer nonconforming products, less rework, lowered rejection rates, streamlined processes and fewer mistakes.
• Access to new markets
• Some markets require ISO 9001 Registration, some markets favor companies with ISO 9001 Registration
• Customer request
• Many organizations are asked by a customer to obtain registration as a requirement to continue or to start doing business with them.
