ISO 9000, for those not in the know, is a series of standards for quality management systems, maintained by the International Organization for Standardization. A company must be independently audited and certified to be in conformance with these standards in order to publicly state that it is ISO 9000 certified or registered.
Meeting the rigorous ISO 9000 requirements is not easy, especially for a company just starting out. Integrity Quality Systems, Inc. is a company that can help set up your quality management systems in order to meet these requirements. We are also able to provide the internal audits necessary in order to be ready for the registrar external audits needed to gain certification.
Developing a quality management system to meet ISO 9000 requirements is a lengthy process, but we at IQS will be with you the entire way. We will begin by working with you to tailor each policy, procedure, form and record in your system to fit your environment's mode of operation. We will then implement the processes and train all of your personnel in the system's functions, taking care to document along the way.
By minimizing paperwork, we will create the leanest and most efficient systems possible. Afterwards, we will audit the systems to prove their effectiveness and locate possible problem areas so they can be rectified before the external auditor comes in to test for certification.
In addition,, we will gladly help you find a registrar to perform the necessary external audit and gain your certification. When the registration audit is complete, we will help close any findings and you will be recommended for registration.
It may seem difficult and complicated, but with IQS's help, it doesn't have to be. Contact us today for more information or to begin a working relationship.
