ISO 9001
An international standard that sets out the requirements for a quality management system (QMS), helping organizations ensure they meet customer and regulatory requirements.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized standard specifying requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS), focusing on customer satisfaction, continuous improvement, and process-based approaches to consistently provide products and services meeting regulatory and customer needs.
BACKGROUND
The ISO 9000 family is a set of international standards for quality management systems. It was developed in March 1987 by the International Organization for Standardization. The goal of these standards is to help organizations ensure that they meet customer and other stakeholder needs within the statutory and regulatory requirements related to a product or service. The standards were designed to fit into an integrated management system. The ISO refers to the set of standards as a "family", bringing together the standard for quality management systems and a set of "supporting standards", and their presentation as a family facilitates their integrated application within an organisation. ISO 9000 deals with the fundamentals and vocabulary of QMS, including the seven quality management principles that underlie the family of standards. ISO 9001 deals with the requirements that organizations wishing to meet the standard must fulfill. A companion document, ISO/TS 9002, provides guidelines for the application of ISO 9001. ISO 9004 gives guidance on achieving sustained organizational success.
