Useful Aids to Implement ISO 9001 Standards

Useful Aids To Implement ISO 9001 Standards

Many companies implement ISO 9001 without using all the available tools. As a result, some companies may not fully optimize their implementation. This issue could be manifested as confusion over terms, misunderstanding about requirements, and perplexity concerning intention.
ISO, the International Organization for Standardization, based in Geneva Switzerland issues thousands of standards, but we limit our scope to ISO 9001:2008 and its immediate “family”.
This includes ISO 9000:2005 and ISO 9004:20002. ISO 9001 is a general industry standard for quality management, but ISO also issues industry specific standards. Many of these standards, such as ISO 13485 for medical devices, are based on ISO 9001 and can also utilize these available tools.

In addition to the information discussed below, ISO also issues standards related to specific activities that may arises in a quality management system. The following lists these supporting documents.

Automotive ISO/TS 16949:2002
