In reality you will hear that a lot of companies and factories claim they are pass the international ISO 9001, and people are more likely want to choose these them. Why and how does ISO 9001 certification affect your business?

What is ISO 9001 Certification?

ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized standard for the quality management of businesses. It means that a business has a series of defined processes that create and control the products it produces. It also means that a company has been audited and certified by an outside party for performance and effectiveness of those procedures.

Is ISO 9001 Certification easy to obtain?

In a nutshell: no. ISO 9001 certification takes commitment from the entire company from management to equipment operators. It requires an examination of current processes and an understanding of the required standard processes for certification. Companies often have to develop new processes, procedures, quality controls and documents in order to fulfill the standard requirements. Then, after the business itself has reviewed and revised all of its procedures, it has to ask the certifying body to review. After final certification, the company must ensure that it continues to uphold the standards moving forward and submit to re-certification every three years.

From the above we can see that ISO 9001 certification is really hard to get, and it can prove that your company or factory is qualified.
