ISO 9001:2015

At ISO Consultants USA, we specialize in crafting bespoke Quality Management Systems (QMS) that not only meet the rigorous requirements of ISO 9001 but are also designed with the flexibility to integrate with other ISO standards relevant to your business. Our approach begins with a thorough understanding of your organizational context, objectives, and the particularities of the industry you operate in. We then proceed to construct a QMS that supports dual compatibility with standards like ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety, among others. This harmonization ensures a streamlined implementation, reduced duplication of effort, and a cohesive management system that is both scalable and sustainable, paving the way for a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence.

There are over 270,000 companies in the United States that are certified to ISO 9001:2015. This represents a significant portion of U.S. businesses, considering the total number of approximately 2 million companies in the country. The ISO 9001:2015 certification is widely recognized and sought after, indicating a global trend towards standardized quality management practices.

: The external audit for ANAB ISO 9001 initial certification is conducted in two stages. The first stage is a preliminary assessment to review your company’s QMS documentation and readiness for the stage two audit. This includes evaluating your organization’s understanding of the requirements of ISO 9001 and the scope of the QMS. It ensures that the organization has effectively implemented the standard within its processes. The second stage is the actual certification audit, where the auditor will verify that the QMS is being fully practiced and that all ISO 9001 requirements are met in action. The auditor observes operations, interviews employees, and reviews documented evidence to confirm the system’s effectiveness and identify any non-conformities. If the audit is successful, the ANAB certification is issued, demonstrating that the organization meets the standards for quality management systems. This certification is a testament to an organization’s commitment to quality and continuous improvement.
