ISO 9001: 2015 defines the criteria for a quality management system,

It can be used by any organization, large or small, regardless of its field of activity. There are over one million companies and organizations in over 170 ISO 9001 certified countries.

The purpose of the standard is to assist companies in meeting legal and regulatory requirements related to their product, achieving excellence in customer service and delivery. The standard can be used throughout an organization to improve performance or within a particular site, facility or department.

The Importance of Continuing Certification


The advantage of ISO 9001-2015 derives from the effective and continuous implementation of the system, the certification based on sampling may not be a guarantee of absolute implementation, therefore it is necessary that the Organization that intends to be certified guarantees effective implementation and control before planning the evaluation. Auditors choose the sample to verify the effectiveness of the management system, it is possible that the sample taken is deemed correct and certification is issued, but the problem may persist within the organization. Please note that the Certification is issued with the obligation / commitment on the part of the Organization to satisfy the requirement of the standard.

During the audit, if the audit team identifies any findings, the client will have to deal with them prior to the Certification decision. Subsequently, at least 1 audit per year must be carried out to verify continuous compliance with the requirements of the management system standard.
