What is ISO 9001:2015?

A Global Standard for Quality Assurance

ISO 9001:2015 is the leading international standard for quality management systems (QMS) and a key benchmark for quality assurance worldwide. It provides a structured management framework that helps organizations consistently deliver products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements, reducing the risk of failures, rework or service issues and enabling customers to purchase with confidence.

The standard is designed to align closely with an organization’s business strategy and operating context, integrating quality into core decision‑making and performance management. ISO 9001:2015 is built on seven quality management principles: customer focus, leadership, engagement of people, process approach, improvement, evidence‑based decision making and relationship management, underpinned by risk‑based thinking and continual improvement.
