Understanding the ISO 9001 Assessment Process

ISO 9001 Assessment Process The ISO 9001 standard covers every part of your business management systems. It is therefore vital to appoint an assessor who has the experience to implement ISO 9001 certification across all areas of your organisation. This will give you the most effective quality management system that will work for your business. It will provide a system that can be constantly monitored and improved upon by your internal team. In addition, an external assessor will bring in expertise and best practice from a wider industry perspective. This will help to ensure that when the audit is done, your management systems comply with the requirements of ISO 9001 : 2015.

Other things you will need to consider:

Allocate 3 to 6 months to achieve certification
Gather information about existing systems in the company
Compare and improve systems to meet ISO 9001 requirements
Develop and review the quality manual to meet ISO 9001 standards
Establish a monitoring schedule for systems and processes
Review training needs for all employees involved
Conduct a management review and internal audits of the company
Set a date for the initial certification audit

ISO 9001 Regular Auditing Procedure

Once you have successfully negotiated your first audit, it is important to continue to monitor the process and improve your systems. Annual surveillance visits need to be arranged; this will help to ensure that the re-certification audit carried out every 3 years is a formality rather than a major process overhaul..

During the audit you will be assessed on:

Documentation control

Records being kept

Staff and management conformance to the system

How the system is working in each area of the organisation

Staff training necessary to meet the requirements

Tailored solutions for your business needs.
