Why be ISO 9001 certified?
Organizations can be ISO 9001 certified, although this is not a requirement. However, certification shows that your products and services meet quality management requirements.
ISO 9001 Quality Management System
The international standard ISO 9001 sets out the requirements for a quality management system. It provides guidance and tools for organizations who want to ensure that their products and services consistently meet customer’s requirements and applicable regulations, and that quality is consistently improved.
By continuously improving processes and performance, your organization can be more efficient and better meet the needs of your customers. This also opens up new business opportunities and strengthens competitiveness.
ISO 9001 doesn’t specify what the objectives relating to “quality” or “meeting customer needs” should be, but requires organizations to define these objectives themselves and continually improve their processes in order to reach them. Kiwa can help you to get the most out of working with ISO 9001.
