ISO 9001 certification can enhance your business’ credibility and help you make a great impression on customers and potential investors. The global standard for Quality Management Systems, ISO 9001 accreditation shows your existing and potential customers that you are committed to providing high-quality products and services.
Benefitting businesses of all sizes, ISO 9001 certification identifies basic disciplines, specifies areas which need written procedures and processes, and outlines the criteria that ensure your products and services meet these high standards. ISO 9001 uses a globally renowned QMS or Quality Management System and is suited to a wide range of organisations offering a host of different products and services.
ISO 9001 can boost your business and its reputation
ISO 9001 enables your company to streamline, modernise, develop and improve its central processes. It gives you the framework you need to continually improve your operations and can also help you to cut your overhead expenses whilst improving customer satisfaction. It can make your business stronger and more sustainable and enable you to win more business contracts. Many companies will only do business with brands that have achieved this accreditation, so it’s certainly worth investing in it if you’re ready to expand your reach.
Am I legally obliged to achieve this accreditation?
You are not legally obliged to achieve ISO 9001 accreditation, but it can make it much easier for you to win new lucrative contracts thanks to the way it shows customers that you’re running a reliable and reputable business that meets global standards. It demonstrates that you have high-quality business quality management systems in place.
How can my business achieve the certification?
In order to meet ISO 9001 standards, you must implement the required framework and maintain various specific practices and processes. The responsibility for quality control must be accepted not only by senior managers but employees throughout your company.
To achieve ISO 9001 certification, you will need to keep records of the entire journey raw materials take as they become products, create reliable systems to communicate with your customers effectively and carry out regular performance reviews. Documentation is a key requirement of ISO 9001 and requires thorough documentation of various processes. A manual will need to be produced that all quality management employees can refer to.
Dealing with customers effectively
Customer requirements must be clearly determined, and companies will need to show how their products meet these. Companies aiming for ISO 9001 certification must show they have an effective framework for dealing with enquiries, customer feedback and complaints.
