Quality
ISO 9001:2015
The ISO 9001:2015 standard is based on a number of quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement. The standards provide guidance and tools for companies and organizations who want to ensure that their products and services consistently meet customer’s requirements, and that quality is consistently improved. Using ISO 9001 helps ensure that customers get consistent, good-quality products and services, which in turn brings many business benefits.
