Category: ISO Compliance And Certification
QSM Group specialize in ISO compliance and certification. We are qualified to help your business get certified to international standards.
ISO (International Organisation for Standardization) is an independent, non-governmental organisation representing the National Standard Institutes of over 150 countries.
They develop and publish international standards in response to the needs of the international market and global expert opinions.
In Australia, the standards that are most common for certification are:
- 9001 – Quality Management Systems;
- 22000 – Food Safety Management;
- 14001 – Environmental Management Systems;
- 45001 – Occupational Health and Safety Management;
- 31000 – Risk Management; and,
- 27001 – Information Security.
Being certified to ISO standards ensures products and services are of a high quality and showcases the credibility of businesses to consumers. Hence some business contracts and insurance agreements may contain terms requiring evidence of ISO compliance or certification.
There are two steps to certification, first ensuring your systems meet ISO Compliance standards and second, an external audit.
