The ISO 9000 Family Contains these Standards:

• ISO 9001:2015: Quality Management Systems – Requirements

• ISO 9000:2015: Quality Management Systems – Fundamentals and Vocabulary (definitions)

• ISO 9004:2018: Quality Management – Quality of an Organization – Guidance to Achieve Sustained Success (continuous improvement)

• ISO 19011:2018: Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems

What are the Different Types of ISO certification?

Worldwide, there are approximately 22,000 diverse types of standards comprising a wide range of industries. Except for ISO 9001, most ISO certifications are organized by industry. ISO 9001 is not industry specific. Any company of any size anywhere in the world can become ISO 9001 certified.

The Three Main ISO Certifications are:

• ISO 9001:2015-This standard is for an overall organization quality management system and includes more specific industries

• ISO 27001:2013 is a standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS)

• ISO 14001:2015 is a standard for Environmental Management Systems

Do, Plan, Check, Act

The ISO 9001:2015 Standard follows the Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle and is a process-based approach to documenting and reviewing the procedures, structure and responsibilities required to achieve effective quality management within a company or organization. What is new in the 2015 version of the standard is more of an emphasis on risk-based thinking.

A certification body can issue or renew a certificate only after a qualified auditor is satisfied that a company or organization has implemented the requirements in the sections of the standard.

However, the certification is not about satisfying one customer’s requirements. It is about a long-term commitment to quality through continual improvement.

Customer Satisfaction with QMS

Since quality objectives are at the center of your processes, the ISO 9001 QMS standard requires that you identify and describe your process using specific business measurements to better manage and control your business procedures. Measurements are taken to communicate your system’s performance and your quality goals.

You should experience fewer complaints from customers because you will know what to expect and know better how to resolve any upcoming issues.

Management and Employees Learn What the Goals are

With the correct objectives and direction, key management and employees will know what is important to keep their focus on. The ISO 9001 QMS is designed to keep a company focused on the right objectives with the use of quality auditing. There are multiple types of audits for Quality including registration audits, self-process audits, internal audits, and surveillance audits.

Because it is not always easy to stay on track with Quality Management, there is a requirement within the ISO 9001 certification that the company must regularly audit its quality processes. Deviations from the correct quality pathway can be corrected and the company can stay on task.

Improve Efficiency and Reduce Waste

Once your processes improve overall and your system becomes more quality-consistent your efficiency will rise. This has the effect of reducing waste. Waste is a result of inefficient processes. Improve your Quality Management System and you will save money. Keep the improvements up and you will continuously save money.

International Recognition for QMS

ISO 9001 is used by over one million businesses and organizations worldwide. The ISO Standards are recognized as the standard for quality which means if you get your ISO Certificate, you are in good standing.

How can ISO standards benefit your business?

One natural benefit of going through the process of getting ISO certified is that you will automatically improve your company’s processes. It is like hiring a good general business consultant. Getting ISO certified encourages you to take a thorough look at your company and uncover ways you can improve that you may not even have been aware of.
