Service Overview

What is ISO 9001:2015?

ISO 9001:2015 is the world’s most widely adopted quality management standard, with over 1 million certified organisations globally. Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), it specifies requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS) that helps organisations consistently deliver products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.

The 2015 version (current) introduced risk-based thinking and the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle as core principles. It covers seven quality management principles: customer focus, leadership, engagement of people, process approach, improvement, evidence-based decision making, and relationship management.

The certificate is valid for 3 years with annual surveillance audits in Year 1 and Year 2, and a full recertification audit in Year 3. Certification is granted by NABCB-accredited Certification Bodies (CBs) such as Bureau Veritas, TÜV SÜD, DNV, BSI, and IRQS.
