ISO9001 is not a single standard, but a general term for a class of standards. It is a collection of all international standards developed by TC176 (TC176 refers to the Technical Committee for Quality Management Systems). It is the best-selling and most common product among more than 12,000 ISO standards.
The ISO9001 quality management system certification standard is a summary of the development of management theory and management practice in many countries, especially developed countries, over the years. It embodies a management philosophy and quality management methods and models, and has been adopted by more than 100 countries and regions in the world.
The ISO9001 international quality management system standard is the most mature set of management systems and standards in the world to date, and is the foundation for the development and growth of enterprises.
ISO9001 is derived from the world's first quality management system standard BS5750 (written by BSI). ISO9001 is the most mature quality framework in the world to date. More than 750,000 organizations in 161 countries/regions around the world are using this framework. ISO9001 sets standards not only for quality management systems, but also for overall management systems. It helps organizations of all kinds achieve success through improved customer satisfaction, enhanced employee motivation, and continuous improvement.
Entering the 21st century, the pace of information development is accelerating. Many companies have restructured information technology to help their core competitiveness. The QIS quality management information system has been fully applied and promoted in the automotive, electronics and other industries, providing a platform to support the electronicization of the ISO9001 quality management system, and embedding the standard QC seven techniques, TS five manuals, and quality management models, making the ISO9001 quality management system digitalization possible.
The ISO9001 quality management system is suitable for any organization that wants to improve its operations and management methods, regardless of its size or department. However, to get the best return on investment, companies should be prepared to implement the system throughout the organization, rather than just in specific locations, departments or divisions.
In addition, ISO9001 is compatible with other management system standards and specifications, such as OHSAS18001 occupational health and safety management system and ISO14001 environmental management system. They can be seamlessly integrated through "integrated management". They have many common principles, so choosing an integrated management system can bring great economic benefits.
