What is ISO 9001?
ISO 9001:2015 is the world's leading international standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS). Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), it provides a proven framework for consistently delivering products and services that meet customer, statutory and regulatory requirements whilst driving continual improvement throughout an organisation.
More than one million organisations worldwide have adopted ISO 9001 to improve operational efficiency, strengthen customer confidence and demonstrate a commitment to quality.
Certification is recognised globally and is often a prerequisite for winning contracts, entering supply chains and tendering for work in both the public and private sectors.
