Why do I need ISO 9001?

Gaining and maintaining ISO 9001 certification provides huge value to your business. Not just in what it states to the outside world, but also in the efficiency and effectiveness it brings to your business procedures. A quality management system that meets the standards set out for ISO 9001 will help your business to be more profitable, efficient and attractive.

Having an infrastructure of procedures within your business that drives quality will give your company a competitive edge. Companies that opt to implement a quality management system (QMS) and have it independently certified drive a culture of consistent improvement throughout their organisation resulting in improved profits.

Gaining and maintaining ISO 9001 certification means that you are desirable as a supplier. Compliancy is key to sustainable commercial growth and it’s widely accepted that organisations should have their management systems (ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001) certified by an independent certification body to pre-qualify for contract opportunities.

What is ISO 9001?

The process to ISO 9001 Quality Management Certification

1

The beginning bit

  • First of all you need a management system put in place that is ‘assessment ready’. If you need help to do this, get in touch.

  • Complete our quick estimate form so we have some information about you.

  • We will let you know the estimated cost based on the information you have provided.

  • If you want to proceed, simply let us know by email.

  • We need to make sure enough assessment days are allocated, so we will call you to gain a deeper understanding of your business. This will result in a final quote.

2

The middle bit

  • We will match you with one of our excellent auditors and book in your date for a “Stage One Assessment.” This assessment is a document review to ensure your management system meets the ISO standards.

  • Your “Stage Two Assessment” will also be programmed in, usually 4-6 weeks after your Stage One. This is a review of your day to day operations so that we can collect evidence to demonstrate your working practices are in line with your management system.

  • If there are no major non conformances following your Stage Two you will be recommended to be certified. If there are non conformances you will have 6 weeks to address them and provide evidence of these. A decision maker will review the final report, verify this and then a certificate will be issued.

3

The ongoing bit

  • Once you have gained certification you enter into a cycle of surveillance audits. We always provide a consistent and efficient audit program.

  • These are much shorter than the initial audit and are carried out to ensure your organisation is meeting the ISO standard.

  • When you come towards the end of the three years, we will be in touch to organise a re-certification visit.  This won’t be as in detail as the initial audit and will start off the next three year certification cycle.

  • We always work closely with our clients to ensure they are happy with our service and have ongoing communications throughout your cycle to discuss any changes that may effect your certification.
