ISO 9001 - about the standard

ISO 9001:2015 what does it mean? Well to give it its full title take a look below:

ISO = International Organisation for Standardisation,
9001 = The standard's number e.g 9001

So what is ISO 9001:2015 ?

ISO 9001:2015 is principally a world wide recognised set of rules which companies implement with the aim of enhancing product or service quality within their organisation.

ISO 9001:2015 forms part of a family of ISO 9000 standards, documents and guidelines; there are currently over 20 documents in total, with new or revised documents being added all the time to inform and increase companies' understanding of requirements and continually improve their business models. 

In September 2015, the International Organisation for Standardisation introduced a revised set of Quality Management standards based on a risk based process model. The new emphasis within the documents focused on the indentification and management of risks and the identification of your interested parties and Continuous Improvement within your business
