What is the ISO Certification?

Let's take an example by citing ISO 9001 certification, perhaps the certification scheme best known to readers. Certification is the act through which an independent and accredited third party declares in writing that the processes that lead to a specific product or service comply with a particular standard. ISO certification refers to the ISO 9001 standard.

ISO 9000: this acronym refers to a globally recognized standard, a series of regulations and guidelines developed by the International Organization for Standardization ( ISO is an organization that defines standards techniques; on the territory, the ISO standards are implemented, adapted, and disseminated by UNI, the National Unification Body).

These standards define the requirements for the implementation in an organization of a quality management system. The expression "quality management system" refers to the set of related activities and interdependent that influence and determine the quality of a final product or service.

The objective of these rules is to rationalize and make efficient and effective company processes aimed at delivering a product/service, involving the various actions present in an organization, reducing waste and inefficiencies, and increasing customer satisfaction.

Among the ISO 9000 standards, the only one for which a company can be certified is ISO 9001; the other means indicated are useful for correctly implementing a quality system but not necessary (ultimately, the ISO 9000 gives indications on the "lexicon" for 9001, and ISO 9004 is meant to be a guideline and in some respects complement ISO 9001)

ISO 9001 has been implemented by ISO Certification Consultants Dubai and is called UNI EN ISO 9001: 2008. This type of organization can be requested from a third party, that is provided by ISO Training Abu Dhabi. It is important to note that certification always refers to an organization and the processes that allow it to obtain a product or service, never to a product or service.
