ISO 9000 Family – Quality Management
The ISO 9000 family addresses various aspects of quality management and contains some of ISO’s best known standards. The standards provide guidance and tools for companies and organizations who want to ensure that their products and services consistently meet customer’s requirements, and that quality is consistently improved.*
ISO 9001:2015
ISO 9001:2015 sets out the criteria for a quality management system and is the only standard in the family that can be certified to (although this is not a requirement). It can be used by any organization, large or small, regardless of its field of activity.
In fact, there are over one million companies and organizations in over 170 countries certified to ISO 9001.
This standard is based on a number of quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement.
MCIAA has also set in place both environmental, occupational health and safety (EHS) management system policies and procedures. While further improving its system of governance on quality, the organisation is already laying down the ground works for these (EHS) two additional standards that can be integrated into its current system. Indeed there is no resting on its laurels for MCIAA.
