What
is ISO 9000?
In 1987, the
Geneva-based International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
published the ISO 9000 series international standards to serve as the
basis for a quality management system.
It is the descendant of
British standard BS-5750. The
American equivalent is Q9000. Since
the original release, the standards have been revised in 1994, 2000,
2008, and 2015.
Registration is
granted by accredited organizations called registrars, who review the
company’s quality manual and procedures to ensure that they meet the
requirements of the applicable standard, and audit the processes to
ensure that the documented system is implemented and effective. Once registration is
granted, the registrar conducts surveillance audits once to twice per
year to ensure that the system continues to be implemented and meets
the requirements of the applicable standard.
ISO 9000, which
couples a total quality management approach with documentation
methodology to create an internal auditing system, is also the
first-ever attempt to create an international quality assurance
standard to cover all industries and the service sector.
The so-called ISO
9000 standard is actually comprised of the following series of
standards:
ISO 9000:2015
Quality Management Systems — Fundamentals and Vocabulary
ISO 9001:2015
Quality Management Systems — Requirements
ISO 9004:2009
Quality Management Systems — Guidance for Performance Improvement
ISO 9000:2015
describes underlying concepts and approaches for the ISO
9000 family, and provides definitions for the vocabulary.
ISO 9000 is not a
specification, however, it is named in ISO 9001 as a normative
reference and thus can be used by auditors to support their
interpretation of ISO 9001 requirements — in particular in reference to
the vocabulary.
ISO 9001:2015
is the actual requirements for the quality management system. Its requirements define
the criteria for the quality system.
The role of this standard in
the series has not changed, but its content and organization are
completely revised.
ISO 9004:2009
describes a quality system that goes beyond the basic requirements
specified in ISO 9001. It
is intended as a guide for organizations that want to further expand
and improve the quality system after implementing ISO 9001 (i.e., in
the post-certification phases). ISO
9004 is not a requirement and should not be used by
third-party auditors for registration audits.
What is an ISO 9001 Compliant Quality System?
An ISO 9001 compliant quality system satisfies the
requirements of the ISO 9001 standard but has not been formally
assessed and registered by a third party registrar. This
means that you could enjoy the benefits of an ISO 9001 Compliant
Quality System without going through the expense normally associated
with registration. You would be in a position to register at
anytime should the need arise.
