What is ISO 9001?

BS EN ISO 9001:2015 is the internationally recognised quality framework for effectively managing your business and meeting your customers’ requirements.

There are currently over 1 million companies and organisations certified to ISO 9001 across 170 countries, it truly is the global standard and can be used by any business, large or small regardless of industry sector.

How can my organisation get certified to ISO 9001?

In order to implement the ISO 9001 standard within your business, you need to first identify how implementing this quality management system will help your business by defining the objectives that you hope to achieve.

Compliance with the standard means simply that your company must say what it does through documentation and process, do what it says through action and then prove this to an independent, objective third party.

The ISO 9001 really is the most fundamental and generic standard and so is often the starting point for an organisation wanting to bring a more structured way of working to their activities. Once this standard is in place, it paves the way for implementing more specific, industry-relevant standards such as the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System, and the ISO 27001 Information Security Management System.

Once you have your aims defined, it is then a good idea to enlist the help of an ISO Consultant who can help you with getting all requirements in order to prepare you for the process of obtaining the certification. This is where Vassallo Associates can help you, we can design a management system that will complement and improve your processes, we can arrange and deliver staff training and also perform internal auditing.
