What is the ISO 9001 History?

ISO 9001:1987 Model for quality assurance in design, development, production, installation, and servicing was for companies and organizations whose activities included the creation of new products. Had the same structure as the UK Standard BS 5750 unfortunately the emphasis tended to be placed on conformance with procedures rather than the overall process of management. ISO 9001:2000 Combination of the three standards 9001, 9002, and 9003 into one, called 9001. Design and development procedures are required only if a company does engage in the creation of new products. Introduced the concept of process management. Required the involvement of Senior Management in order to integrate quality into the business system and avoid delegation of quality functions to junior staff. Required measurement of the effectiveness of tasks and activities. Expectations of continual process improvement and tracking customer satisfaction were defined. ISO 9001:2008 Introduces clarifications to the existing requirements of ISO 9001:2000 and some changes intended to improve consistency with Environmental Management Standard ISO 14001:2004. The standard is now practical and business improvement focused. It is completely different to the original standard which was discredited in some areas as a paper exercise.

What is certification to ISO9001:2008?

Organizations have their quality management system certified to

ISO 9001:2008. When an organization seeks to certify (sometimes referred to as register) its quality management system to ISO 9001:2008, it is required to agree a "scope of certification" with its certification body (sometimes called registrar). This will define the products to which the organization's quality management system is applicable, and against which it will be assessed. An organization is not obliged to include within its "scope of certification" all the products that it provides but may be selective about those that are included. All applicable requirements of ISO 9001:2008 will need to be addressed by the organization's quality management system that covers those products that are included in the "scope of certification".

www.9001manual.com

What is ISO 9001 certification?

A company or organization that has been

independently audited and certified to be in conformance with ISO 9001 may publicly state that it is "ISO 9001 certified" or "ISO 9001 registered". Certification to an ISO 9001 standard does not guarantee any quality of end products, it certifies that approved business processes are being applied. Although the standards originated in manufacturing, they are now employed across several types of organizations. A "product" in ISO vocabulary can mean a physical object or services
