ISO 9001:2015

ISO 9001:2015 is less prescriptive about documentation than previous versions, focusing on what's necessary for effective process operation. Required documented information includes the quality policy, quality objectives, and information needed to ensure effective planning, operation, and control of processes. Organizations need to maintain and retain documented information as required by the standard and as determined necessary for the QMS effectiveness.

Yes, ISO 9001:2015 is designed to be applicable to organizations of all sizes, including small businesses. The standard is flexible and can be scaled according to organizational context, complexity, and risk levels. Small businesses often find that the structured approach to quality management helps them compete with larger organizations and demonstrate their commitment to quality to potential customers. We specialize in helping small businesses implement practical quality management systems that add value without unnecessary bureaucracy.

ISO 9001 certificates are valid for three years. During this period, the certification body conducts surveillance audits (typically annually) to verify continued compliance. After three years, a recertification audit is required to renew the certificate for another three-year cycle. Our team provides support for both surveillance and recertification audits to ensure your management system remains effective and compliant.
