What is ISO 9001:2015?


ISO 9001:2008 became obsolete effective September 2018 and was replaced by ISO

9001:2015.  9001:2015 is the standard that outlines the requirements an organization must maintain

in their quality system for ISO 9001:2015 certification. There are several different documents in

the ISO 9000 family of standards, but ISO 9001 is the only ISO standard that requires certification.

ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized Quality Management System. You may want to read:

ISO 9000 Certified: The Myth
“ISO 9000 Certified” is technically incorrect as ISO 9000 does not have requirements. “ISO Certified”

is also incorrect, as it does not state the ISO standard to which you are certified.

“ISO 9001 Certified” means an organization has met the requirements in ISO 9001. It defines an ISO

9000 Quality Management System (QMS).

ISO 9001:2015 is focused on meeting customer expectations and delivering customer satisfaction so

you must pay attention to the customer.

ISO 9001 evaluates whether your Quality Management System is appropriate and effective, while

forcing you to identify and implement improvements.


Continuous improvement assures your customers benefit by receiving products/services that meet

their requirement, and that you deliver consistent performance. Internally, the organization will

profit from increased job satisfaction, improved morale, and improved operational results (reduced

scrap and increased efficiency). Meeting legal and regulatory requirements benefit the community.

What is 9001 Quality Management versus General


Management Systems

What is 9001 and what is not ISO 9001? ISO 9001:2015 is a quality management system, not a

general management system. While ISO does actually provide general management systems that

help document, organize and define how a business will run its overall operations (such as ISO

26000), these systems are rarely a requirement for certain types of commerce as ISO 9001:2015

often is.
Is 9001 a Performance Benefit?
While it is hard to prove a direct correlation between ISO 9001’s quality system and business

performance, a number of studies like this one strongly suggest that the rigor of what is 9001 (and

related quality management standards) does just that. Though not solely the reason for seeking the

benefits of ISO9001 certification, there are substantive surveys showing that gaining new business

was a direct result.


What is 9001’s Resource Impact?
As with most business processes, the more you do yourself, the less the cost, but the more time it

may require. No matter how much external resources are utilized, there will need to be involvement

by your employees and staff to varying degree. While there is no total “do it yourself” solution, you

can go a long way on what is ISO 9001’s basic requirements by using pre-formatted materials for

documentation and training. While the procedures and methods in these must be tailored to your

situation, they are typically created with minimizing the changes required and maximizing the ability
for others to use and comprehend them. The goal of any quality mangement system should not be

to add unneccesary paperwork, but to make all references clear and highly usable.
