Quality Management Principles
OVERVIEW

What is ISO 9001?

ISO 9001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS). Organizations use it to demonstrate their ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.

The standard is based on several quality management principles including strong customer focus, involvement of top management, a process approach, and continual improvement.

ISO 9001:2015 is the latest version, featuring the High-Level Structure (HLS) that enables easier integration with other management system standards like ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
