ISO 9001
ISO 9001:2015 is a standard that is widely used for quality management systems in businesses around the world. It was formally renamed as an ISO standard in 1994, prior to this BS5750 was the main UK quality management standard.
​
When your business is ISO 9001 certified it has been independently verified as meeting internationally recognized quality management standards. To meet the ISO 9001 standard your business needs to implement and maintain a number of practices, processes and documented information to show how you comply and implement the specific requirements laid down in ISO 9001:2015. Most of the information you will already have within your business and the system will allow us to compile it in one place so that it is readily to hand for any purpose and for you to review as your business develops.
Benefits of ISO 9001 Certification
With the ISO 9001 standard you can:
​
Meet the demands of your customers:
Customer satisfaction is ISO 9001’s primary purpose. The processes are developed to help you maintain or exceed customer satisfaction.
Retain customers:
Customers are retained as they are satisfied with your products and how they are delivered.
Increase revenues: Compared to companies which are not certified, an ISO 9001 certified company should earn greater revenues due to an increase in both production and efficiency. Customers are retained which in turn brings more business from them and they are more likely to recommend you to associates.
Avoid Internal Discrepancies:
The Quality Management System strives to implement the best industrial practices that ensure significant growth and high-quality products. It does not only help you achieve greater efficiency by minimizing unnecessary stages in the production process but also helps you standardize the operations as per industrial benchmarks. There are therefore fewer internal discrepancies and this translates into greater reliability and durability.
Gain international recognition:
ISO 9001 is recognised as the global quality management standard and is an excellent marketing tool to show potential customers you are a leader in your field.
​
Decrease issues related to product performance:
Since ISO improves overall quality there are fewer damaged and non-functional products thereby saving time and costs.
