What is ISO 9001 Certification?
ISO 9001 is the internationally recognized quality management systems (QMS) standard. it is the global benchmark for QMS, topping over one million certifications worldwide.
Who can use ISO 9001 QMS?
ISO 9001 certification is applicable to any organisation – irrespective of their size or geographical location. One of its major strengths is its wider appeal for all types of organisations, as it focuses on processes and customer satisfaction rather than procedures; thereby achieving a certification, for example, is equally applicable and beneficial to service providers and manufacturers.
Global sectors have also continued to focus their efforts on quality, with sector specific QMS derivatives available for the automotive, aerospace, defense and medical sectors.
Why is ISO 9001 important for your business?
It provides the infrastructure, procedures, processes and resources needed to help organisations both monitor and improve their performance to drive efficiencies, client service and product excellence.
An ISO 9001 certification helps to deliver:
There have been numerous independent studies over the years demonstrating the benefits of implementing ISO 9001; one of these is a recent article published in a prestigious peer-reviewed academic journal from Harvard Business School.

ISO 14001:2015 specifies the requirements for an environmental management system that an organization can use to enhance its environmental performance. ISO 14001:2015 is intended for use by an organization seeking to manage its environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability.
ISO 14001:2015 helps an organization achieve the intended outcomes of its environmental management system, which provides value for the environment, the organization itself and interested parties.

ISO 14001:2015 can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve environmental management. Claims of conformity to ISO 14001:2015, however, are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization's environmental management system and fulfilled without exclusion

What is Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) against ISO 22000?
Developed by the Foundation for Food Safety Certification, FSSC 22000 represents a whole new approach to food safety risk management throughout the food supply chain. FSSC 22000 is a complete certification scheme based on ISO 22000, the global food safety management system standard, combined with one of the sector-specific technical specifications for PRPs (e.g. PAS 220/ISO 22002-1 or PAS 223) and additional Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) requirements. FSSC 22000 has been given full recognition by the GFSI.
Who can use FSSC 22000?
FSSC 22000 has been designed for implementation by all food products, food ingredients and packaging material manufacturers, irrespective of size, sector or geographical location.

Effective management systems and independent certification are the two key drivers of a successful food-safety culture. FSSC 22000 is designed to drive the international harmonization and transparency of food safety standards. Under the internationally recognized FSSC 22000, your whole network of processes will be assessed and monitored using the process-based approach - the systematic identification and management of interacting processes, and it delivers:
HACCP (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points) is the internationally recognized structured operating method that helps organizations in the food and beverage industry identify their food safety risks, prevent food safety hazards and address legal compliance. The HACCP system is science-based and identifies specific hazards and measures for their control to ensure the safety of food. Although the main goal of HACCP is food protection, there are other benefits acquired through HACCP implementation and certification, such as:

What is ISO 13485:2016?
ISO 13485:2016 (Medical Devices - Quality Management Systems - Requirements for Regulatory Purposes) is the international standard that defines Quality Management Systems (QMS) requirements for organisations that design, develop, manufacture, install and service medical devices and design, develop, and provide related services, including manufacturers of materials or component parts that are used in medical devices.
The latest version of the standard, was published in March 2016. It shares the same QMS principles and also follows the generally increased emphasis on risk management shown within the range of QMS standards. It has not, however, adopted the Annex SL high-level structure reflected within ISO 9001:2015.
ISO 13485 was originally derived from ISO 9001 and shared the same basic principles, but required greater documentation and placed additional emphasis on areas such as the work environment, risk management, design control and regulatory requirements.
Why is ISO 13485:2016 important for your organization?
These days, medical device manufacturers often insist that their suppliers and service providers are certified to ISO 13485 as a pre-requisite for doing business. ISO 13485 certification is therefore an increasingly important differentiator for organisations looking to improve their marketability.
Whilst the primary objective of ISO 13485 certification is to facilitate harmonized QMS requirements for regulatory purposes within the medical device sector, companies also value ISO 13485 certification for the increased confidence that it gives patients and other stakeholders through its implicit promise of quality, consistency, and continuous improvement.
Certification to ISO 13485:2016
Whether you are looking to get certified against a globally recognized medical device QMS, or if it is towards compliance with the Medical Device Directive (MDD) 93/42/EEC or In Vitro Diagnostic Device Directive (IVDD) 98/79/EC, we provide a range of services including:
ISO/TS 16949 provides for continual improvement, emphasizing defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the automotive supply chain. ISO/TS 16949 applies to the design and development, production and, where relevant, the installation and servicing of automotive-related products.
What does ISO/TS 16949 do?
ISO/TS 16949, in conjunction with ISO 9001:2015, defines the quality management system requirements for the design and development, production and, when relevant, installation and service of automotive-related products.
ISO/TS 16949 benefits to your business
If you are contractually obliged to gain certification, looking to gain new business or enter new markets, certification to this standard helps deliver
ISO/ TS 16949 offers organizations in the automotive industry, the opportunity for standardization and improvement.
Who can use ISO/ TS 16949?
ISO/ TS 16949 is applicable to sites of organizations where customer-specified parts, for production and/or service are manufactured. Supporting functions, whether on-site or remote including design centers, corporate headquarters, and distribution centers, form part of the site audit but can’t obtain stand-alone certification to ISO/TS 16949. ISO/TS 16949 can be applied throughout the automotive supply chain. If you want to supply many of the world's largest automotive manufacturers, you will need to achieve this standard because it is a contractual requirement for many of them.

All requests were dealt with swiftly and efficiently in a way that makes us feel valued as a client.
At the start of our journey towards ISO 9001, ISO 270001 and ISO 14001, we were very clear on what we wanted from our auditors, not just a box ticking exercise, an organisation that would support our aims and values and engage with our technical teams in a manner fitting our culture and maturity. "ADIQC was a clear leader throughout the selection process, and two years on they have met all our aspirations".
OH&S management system certification has helped Xtramix address its legal requirements.
