ISO 9001:2015 Certification

The ISO 9001:2015 standard is specifically meant to establish the criteria needed for a company’s quality management system—i.e., the way that the organization ensures that it can consistently provide quality products/services that meet any applicable regulatory standards.

As noted on the ISO website, “This standard is based on a number quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement.”

This quality management system appraisal and certification is meant to be industry and size agnostic—ISO 9001 can be applied to nearly any business regardless of size or what they do.

Following ISO 9001 standards helps businesses organize their processes so they can make continuous, steady improvements to their quality, efficiency, and other key performance metrics over time.  This helps make the business more competitive than its non-ISO certified counterparts.
