ClassManagement system standard

Edition2015

What is this standard?

The sector-independent base standard specifying quality management system requirements. Many sector standards are built on top of ISO 9001.

Who is it for?

Organisations in all goods and services sectors.

What triggers an assessment?

  • A customer or tender requires a quality system.
  • Processes need to be standardised and made repeatable.
  • You must pass a supplier assessment.

What does it not replace?

  • Company formation or wanting to "look quality-focused" is not a sufficient trigger on its own; customer, process and scope are questioned.
  • It does not substitute for product conformity such as CE marking.
