ISO 9000

Successful companies in the 21^st century are those who focus on quality throughout their organisation, everything from the level of customer service they provide, to the standard of the products/services themselves.

Those organisations that are quality driven are becoming increasingly competitive as their customers demand proof of commitment to quality through independent 3^rd party certification.

The International Standard, ISO 9001:2000, is a generic system that specifies in broad terms the necessary components of a quality management system. Rather than being specific to any one industry, it details the basic requirements of the quality function for all industries. It has become accepted in a wide variety of industries with over 200,000 certificates issued to organisations in more than 80 countries worldwide.

The benefits of ISO 9001:2000

• The potential to make organisations more cost effective and efficient
• Greater consistency of products and services
• It is a powerful competitive tool to help businesses grow and prosper
• Potential cost savings
