What is ISO 9001 Certification?
Small business success hangs on one major factor – customer and client trust. The ISO 9001 Standard for Quality helps organizations create, implement, and maintain a high-functioning Quality Management System (QMS) that guides the day to day function of the business.
An ISO QMS helps companies constantly refine their day-to-day systems and create targeted long-term goals for success. Led by the stringent quality requirements of the standard, that QMS in turn helps guide the ultimate achievement for business growth – constantly improving customer experiences and satisfaction.
Through ten clauses, the ISO standard guides companies toward improved internal function and cultural growth. This document covers the basic definition of ISO 9001 as well as the basics regarding the requirements and steps to certification.
