ISO 9001 Requirements

In order to meet the standards of ISO 9001, businesses need to implement the required framework and maintain a number of specific practices and processes. In particular, this will require the application of concrete quality management processes and adoption of intangible values such as a customer-centric focus. Responsibility for quality control also needs to be taken on by upper management and employees down through the business hierarchy.

ISO 9001 certification dictates that businesses perform in a certain way in a number of areas, for example:

  • Keeping records of the complete journey taken by the raw materials as they’re transformed into products
  • Creating systems to engage with customers through effective customer service, listening to and responding to complaints and feedback, and readily supplying product information
  • Commitment to regular performance reviews, making use of meetings and internal assessments

The main directives of ISO 9001 come down to a few key requirements under eight primary headings including – Systems, Management, Resources and Products and Services.

Process Implementation – The essence of ISO 9001 will involve the implementation of the core quality control processes which will vary depending on the type of business, their specific products, services and value-creation process. Specialised ISO Consultants can help to implement the required quality control systems that businesses need which can include things like randomised spot checks and the systematic checking of raw materials.

Documentation – This is a key requirement of ISO 9001 and involves thorough documentation of relevant processes at all stages. This includes written procedural documents and creation of a quality manual to be used as a reference for all employees involved in quality management.

Customer Focus – Although the focus of ISO 9001 is quality management, it often provides the foundation for a functional and profitable business and the thorough requirements can positively impact all areas.

There are several customer-facing requirements of ISO 9001 that business must meet including;

  • To actually determine customer requirements for their offer, and establish a solid product-market fit.
  • To create systems for engaging and communicating with customers, and be able to deal effectively with enquiries, complaints and customer feedback.

History Of ISO 9001

The term ISO stands for the ‘International Organization for Standardisation’.  It is a global body which creates and maintains all ISO standards, with input from businesses and trade organisations from around the world. It is in fact one of a larger set of ISO standards, all of which are designed to uphold and signal quality in a particular aspect of business.

This effective business tool uses an internationally renowned QMS (Quality Management System) and is designed to be flexible and nonspecific which means it is suitable for a wide range of businesses and industries independent of their size, product and cultural setting.

ISO 9001 certification helps companies to:

Whilst ISO 9001 is not mandatory for companies, it is often a worthwhile investment for B2B as some distributors, suppliers and retailers will require it in order to do business with you. With certification in place, the chances of landing new business contracts become more likely thanks to the internationally recognised hallmark of excellence – signalling to everyone that your business is reliable and meets the highest industry standards.

The Need for ISO 9001 Certification

If businesses want to reliably produce excellent products and be taken seriously both by potential and existing clients, then they need a strong foundation of quality management. ISO 9001 certification is recognised the world over and is independently verified which makes it a credible and attestable way to demonstrate and prove that your business is compliant with the high international standards.

Here are just some of the reasons why ISO 9001 can be the key to success for your business.

Consistency – In order to achieve consistency in the end product that is shipped to customers and retailers, there needs to be processes in place to ensure that the system operates as it should be taking into account multiple variable inputs and all of those involved at each stage of the process. There is also the need for strict quality control process that will help to guarantee that only the quality is consistent for the customers.

Signalling Quality – Some of the biggest and most desirable businesses to work with only deal with companies that are ISO 9001 certified. This means that if you have the desire to grow your company to the level of success it deserves, you will need ISO 9001 Certification to help open the doors that will lead you there.

Ensuring Excellence – A business can really thrive or fall depending on their customer service and relations. ISO 9001 provides a foundation for the functional and effective customer service that has really become ‘table stakes’ for having a shot at a decent market share.

Revenue – Customers are more likely to buy from a company that’s ISO 9001 certified and some companies will only request quotes from contractors who have achieved this standard.

Culture – Without the clearly defined quality assured processes in place, it can be hard to give your employees clear objectives. ISO 9001 provides the structure and framework needed to help your staff work to their given targets – and meet them.

Attrition – Waste costs businesses money. By implementing ISO 9001 you will be able to minimise unnecessary wastage to help make your operation more efficient.

What is ISO 9001?

ISO 9001 is the International Standard for Quality Management Systems and is one of the most widely recognised and commonly used management tools across the world. Designed to provide the vital framework that organisations need to improve their processes and procedures, ISO 9001 helps to ensure that the quality of the goods and services delivered are to a consistently high standard.

The approach that the ISO 9001 standard uses is based on 7 quality management principles that involve top management, have a strong customer focus and strive for continuous improvement.

ISO 9001 is suitable for almost all organisations across different industries including both product and service based businesses of varying size and scope.

ISO 9001 is a powerful business improvement tool and certification to the standard can benefit your organisation in many ways such as:

  • Increased efficiency and focus on quality to reduce costs
  • Higher retention of existing business as well as greater success when bidding for new contracts or competing in tenders
  • Improved morale amongst employees as a result of greater internal communications
  • Creates a more resilient and sustainable business model
  • Provides access to new markets previously out of reach
  • Delivers increased customer satisfaction as a result of fewer errors, improved consistency and quality of goods or services
  • Demonstrates strong corporate governance
  • Improves relationships with suppliers due to more effective processes and efficient supply chains.

Certification to ISO 9001 is neither mandatory nor a legal requirement for organisations, it is something that they can choose to do or not. However, that being said you can come across circumstances in which there is a ‘client-imposed mandatory requirement’ for the standard which means that you will need ISO 9001 certification in order to be eligible for tenders.

It is not uncommon for both government and private ‘Request For Tenders’ (RFTs) to include requirements related to health, safety, environmental and quality certification.

Having ISO 9001 certification and a robust Quality Management System that has been accredited by a third party can often make all the difference between winning the tender and losing out to a competitor. It can also open up a whole world of tendering opportunities and access to new markets that have been previously out of reach.
