ISO 9001

“Our staff are highly experienced in auditing against the ISO 9001 standard to ensure that that are legally compliant, in line with good practice and ahead of the competition!”

What is ISO 9001?

ISO 9001 is an international standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS) that helps organisations ensure they meet customer and regulatory requirements while continually improving their processes.


ISO 9001 is published by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and is the most widely recognized quality management standard globally. The current version, ISO 9001:2015, was released in 2015 and focuses on a risk-based approach to quality management, emphasizing the importance of leadership and customer satisfaction. 


The primary purpose of ISO 9001 is to provide a framework for organisations to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve their Quality Management Systems. This standard is applicable to any organisation, regardless of its size or industry, and helps ensure that products and services consistently meet customer expectations and comply with applicable regulations. 

Stand out from the competition with ISO 9001:2015 certification with an audit against this internationally recognised quality management system (QMS) standard from Alistair Cole Consulting.

 

Adopting and developing a QMS is a strategic decision that enables organisations to continuously improve their overall performance and focus on providing customers with products and services of consistent quality. 


Based on eight quality management principles, the ISO 9001:2015 standard defines the way an organisation operates to meet the requirements of its customers and stakeholders:

 

  • Customer focus
  • Leadership
  • Involvement of people
  • Process approach
  • Organisational context
  • Continual improvement
  • Fact-based decision making
  • Risk-based thinking

How the audit process works

Certification typically involves a two-stage process:

  2. Initial audit – a detailed evaluation tailored to your organisation’s size, complexity, and system maturity.
Once certified, regular surveillance visits ensure your system continues to perform effectively and evolve over time.
