ISO Registration
The ISO standards form a coherent set of Quality Management System Standards to facilitate mutual understanding in National and International trade
ISO 9001 Background
In 1987, the International Organization for Standardization in Geneva released the ISO 9001 series of documents that were requirements for a Quality Management System. The ISO 9001 quality management system provides a method to "verify process consistency" by defining and auditing an organization's systems and procedures. Three standards were issued to be certified to; ISO 9001,9002 and 9003. To date, over 343,000 certifications have been issued and they continue to gain wide acceptance in all different types of organizations.
What is ISO 14001?
ISO 14001, the International Standard on Environmental Management Systems, was launched in September 1996. It is a set of 'good environmental business practices' and provides organizations guidance on how to manage their environmental activities more effectively.
The standard requires an organization to set environmental performance polices, objectives and targets. These are set by the organization internally or determined by environmental laws and regulations.
