ISO 9001:2008 Quality management system
Overview
The ISO 9001:2008 certification is an international standard
that defines good management practices. The certification
aims at providing a global standard that spells out quality
and trust. To meet the requirements for the ISO 9001:2008
certification, an organisation should demonstrate its ability
to consistently provide products that meet applicable regulatory
requirements and satisfy customer needs.
ISO 9001:2008 certification
The purpose of ISO 9001:2008 is to facilitate international
trade by providing a single standard that is recognised and
respected globally. It is a generic standard and is applicable
to organisations in all areas of work. Some of the areas are
manufacturing, processing, servicing, printing, forestry,
electronics, steel, computing, legal services, financial services,
accounting, trucking, banking, retailing, and so on.
Manufacturing, commercial and service organisations can reap
many benefits from quality system certification. Management
systems optimise production processes, increase efficiency
and reduce costs. An ISO 9000 certificate indicates the organisation's
adherence to quality management practices and minimises the
potential for product liability related problems. These good
practices are compiled into a set of standardised requirements
for a quality management system for your organisation.
ISO 9001:2008 is important because of its international acceptance.
The ISO 9001:2008 certification is recognised in more than
120 countries and is the logical choice for any organisation
involved in international business or committed to quality.
Quality management is what the organisation does to guarantee
that its products and services satisfy the customer's quality
requirements and comply with all the regulations applicable
to those products or services.
