OVERVIEW

What Is ISO 9001 Quality Management System Certification?

What Is ISO 9001 Quality Management System Certification?

ISO 9001 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It sets out requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving a Quality Management System.

A QMS helps businesses define responsibilities, control processes, monitor performance and address customer feedback. It also encourages risk-based thinking and evidence-based decision-making.

ISO 9001 certification is relevant to businesses that want to formalise their quality management practices or meet applicable customer, supplier or tender requirements. Certification is based on an independent assessment, not simply on preparing documents.
