ISO 9001 is an internationally recognised standard for the quality management systems. The standard is generic in nature and caters for both the manufacturing and service industries.
Organisations which are certified to this standard reflect evidence of a business operation which is supported by a fundamental and robust quality management system platform.
Repeat business only comes to organisations which can provide services or products consistently, and without deviation. Complying with this standard requirement means you can demonstrate you can do this.
In essence, organisations with an effective Quality Management System (QMS) will typically meet customer expectations better than an organisation that does not have an effective QMS.
QIC specialises in Certification, backed by an efficient IT system and a group of professionals and experts.
