ISO 9001:2015 quality management system

What ISO 9001 covers

ISO 9001:2015 is the international standard for quality management systems. It requires an organisation to understand its context and its customers' requirements, plan its processes, control them, measure the results and improve continually – using the plan-do-check-act cycle and risk-based thinking.

For a steel fabricator this means every step from enquiry to handover is a controlled process: contract review, design and drawing control, purchasing and supplier evaluation, receiving inspection, production planning, fabrication, inspection and testing, packing, shipping, installation and after-sales service, with documented responsibilities and records.
