How to get ISO 9001 Quality Management Certification?
Briefly organisations need to ensure that senior management has a demonstrable commitment to the quality management system (through, for example, their active involvement and regular support of activities such as reviews) and is aware of its importance within the organisation’s environment.
AS/NZS ISO 9001 requires organisations to have documented policies that define requirements such as how they will meet applicable legal and regulatory requirements related to products and/or services.
In addition, businesses have a requirement to evaluate and define their context.
A business is required to analyse the internal and external influences on their business and what impact those influences have on the overall QMS.
AS/NZS ISO 9001 also requires organisations to provide evidence that their quality management system is effective.
The standard suggests many ways in which this effectiveness can be demonstrated, for example through documented policies and procedures, results of internal audits, corrective actions taken, or customer satisfaction measures.
