Frequently asked questions about ISO 9001 certification 

  • 1. Why is it called ISO 9001:2015?

    The year identifies the edition. ISO 9001:2015 was published in 2015 and replaced ISO 9001:2008. 

    ISO standards are reviewed periodically to reflect changing expectations, technologies and quality management practices. 

    The 2015 edition introduced: 

    • a shared management system structure to support integration with other standards; 

    • greater emphasis on risk-based thinking and managing risks and opportunities; 

    • a stronger role for top management in quality management. 

  • 2. How do we start with ISO 9001 certification?

    Review how ISO 9001 applies to your organisation, processes and intended certification scope. 

     

    Bureau Veritas discusses your activities, employee numbers, sites and scope with you before preparing a tailored certification proposal. 

     

    An optional gap analysis or pre-audit can identify areas needing attention before the formal Certification Audit. 

     

  • 3. Which organisations can be ISO 9001 certified?
