What is ISO 9001?

The ISO is an international agency composed of the national standards bodies of more than 170 countries.  ISO 9001 was originally published in 1987, and it is the international standard that specifies requirements for an organizational QMS. Organizations large and small from across the globe use the standard to demonstrate their ability to consistently provide products or services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.

According to ISO, the 9001 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 continuous improvement.
