ISO Certification Consultants

ISO 9001 certification seems to be the craze these days and the buzz word in many organizations. A little known fact is that the ISO organization first became more than just an idea back in 1946 when a group of 65 technical experts from 25 countries met to to discuss the future of International Standardization. In 1947, the ISO organization was launched. Based in Geneva Switzerland, it has grown to be the governing body for all ISO standards currently in existence today.  The first true Quality Management Standard was launched by the ISO organization in 1987 and has been updated and upgraded to the most recent version in 2015 called ISO 9001:2015. With continuous improvement being the mandate for many growth oriented groups, its certainly possible that there will be updated versions in the years to come as the face of manufacturing and industry changes. ISO 9001 is simply a total Quality Management System. When an organization follows the tenets of Clauses 4 through 10 in the order...

 I get this question all the time. Here are some of the common ones I hear all the time. It's costly. We can't afford it. Why should we spend that money. It serves no purpose. It's a waste of time. It's a big money grab. The auditors make the money. We don't get any benefit. Our company's philosophy is just do it. We fix problems as they come along. Why do I need ISO to tell me how to run my company? We don't have time to document what we do. Time is money. I don't have the people or resources to spend on this. My customers don't require it of me so why spend the money I'm making good money on my product now. How's this going to positively impact my bottom line? I can answer some of these questions easily. The answer to some of the other questions will require you and your organizations to seek on your own. Business's which stagnate typically follow the adage: "Why change how we do things. If it ain't broke don't touch it...

What is an ISO Audit? Well, there's nothing really tricky about what an ISO audit is. Simply speaking, it's the process which an organization undertakes to audit their compliance to the relevant tenets of the ISO 9001:2015 standard. It is performed by a certified ISO 9001:2015 Lead auditor. Depending on the complexity of the audit, it can require one of more auditors. This requirement is always discussed in advance with the client company.This is the general statement to what is an ISO Audit. CoVid 19 has forced the industry to re think its needs with respect to ISO auditing. ISO auditors are performing more remote or online audits to support the needs of many organizations now. ISO Certification Consultants Inc, with its partnership certification body, has auditors who are ready to perform these necessary audits for your organization.

Remote Auditing for ISO has always been a necessity in situations where a company cannot be easily accessed for any number of reasons. Such as no roads, impassable roads etc. With CoVid 19 in our lives, the IAF has become more accepting of the realities surrounding companies becoming ISO 9001 certified. Many auditors have the additional challenge of getting to a client company now due to travel restrictions and access to facilities restrictions. The Remote ISO Audit has become more accepted and in many cases mandatory or requested by companies.This has become, in many cases, the only way to circumvent the challenges facing our industry due to CoVid 19.  I'm willing to challenge that the future of ISO 9001 auditing has been changed forever and that the remote ISO audit will become more sophisticated with time and the preferred method of ISO certification going forward. The other ancillary benefit to remote audits is the reduction in costs to the client as they no longer have to carr...
