What is 9001?
ISO 9001 is the international standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS) and going through the process and successfully achieving certification to the standard is a clear way to demonstrate your company’s commitment to quality.
The ISO 9001 standard evaluates your current QMS and whether it is appropriate and effective for its intended use, identifying areas that are lacking and suggesting improvements. ISO 9001 can be applied to any organisation, regardless of their industry type, business sector, scope of activities or size.
What are the requirements of ISO 9001?

4 – Context of the organisation
5 – Leadership
