ISO 9000 Certification

The ISO 9000 family of standards is one of the most popular series in the world. It’s applicable to almost any type of business that values quality management for the purpose of regulatory compliance or to fulfill customer requirements or both. A nongovernmental entity called International Organization for Standardization, with a membership of 162 national standards bodies, publishes the series. The group is known as ISO, which is not an acronym, but derived from isos (the Greek word for equal).

ISO 9000 Compliance

ISO 9000 compliance is voluntary, but most companies embrace it as a foundation for quality and the basis for compliance with other regulations. ISO 9000 defines the basic concepts and principles of quality management. It defines quality management system (QMS) as a set of interrelated elements that organizations use to attain quality policies and objectives. The latest version, ISO 9000:2015, supersedes ISO 9000:2000 and other old versions.

Leadership

Leaders should establish a united purpose and direction to help the organization achieve its quality objectives.
Engagement of People

The organization’s personnel should be competent, empowered and engaged in delivering value.
Process Approach

The quality management system is composed of interrelated processes. Understanding the processes is key to optimizing performance.
Improvement

The organization must focus on continuous improvement.
Evidence-based Decision Making

ISO 9000 Training

Continual improvement is a key principle under this standard. It should be a goal and a priority throughout the organization.

The leadership principle also calls for leaders to provide the necessary resources for ISO 9000 training of personnel and to encourage responsibility and accountability.
