Should you choose Critical Path to help you achieve and manage ISO, you will be assigned a designated ISO consultant to arrange a gap analysis onsite at your offices. The gap analysis includes a full review of your current internal policies, processes, and procedures. Then, your consultant will work with you to 'fill in the gaps' and provide you with all documents required.

  • Allowing your business to become a consistent competitor in the marketplace.
  • Enabling better quality management to meet customer’s needs.
  • Introducing more effective working practices to save time and resources.
  • Increasing profits and improving operational performance to reduce errors.

History of the ISO 9001 Standard

The International Organisation created the ISO 9001 for Standardisation, an independent, non-governmental body with a membership comprising 162 national standards bodies.

It is one of the ISO 9000 group of quality management system standards, helping organisations meet their customers’ needs by bringing together experts to develop market-relevant, international standards to provide solutions to global challenges and support innovation.

ISO standards are regularly reviewed to ascertain if any revisions are needed to keep them current. For example, the ISO 9001 standard was revised in 2015 to ensure it retained its ability to help businesses provide services and products that meet customers’ needs.

What is the focus of ISO 9001?

The ISO 9001 standard provides an integrated approach to managing your business, putting quality at the forefront. It focuses on continually improving your organisation and the quality of service and product delivery to your customers.

ISO 9001 aims to improve your internal quality processes and procedures, proving your commitment to quality management via external verification.
