What Is ISO 9001?
ISO 9001 details the requirements for organisations to implement and operate a Quality Management System.
Developed by the International Organization for Standardization, the ISO 9001 standard has been certified in over one million businesses and organisations in over 170 countries.
ISO 9001 is built on a foundation of quality management principles that focus on customer needs, internal processes and a commitment to continual improvement. It results in better-quality products and services, which benefit businesses through greater customer satisfaction, lower costs and more efficient processes.
