Who carries this

ISO 9001, in practice.

Quality management systems. Requirements.

Any organisation that has committed to a repeatable standard of delivery, most often because a customer, a regulator or a tender asked for the certificate.

A note on the text

The clause numbers and titles above are the standard's own public structure. The standard itself is copyright of its issuing body and you buy it from them. What we add is the interpretation underneath, and that lives in your workspace.

What the service does with it

Every month, on a schedule you can check.

This is the running work for this standard specifically. The general shape is the same across all of them.

We carry
  • Scope each requirement to the sites and departments it actually applies to
  • Keep the quality manual and procedures current against their review dates
  • Run the internal audit programme across clause 9.2 on an annual plan
  • Prepare and minute the management review under clause 9.3
  • Carry findings to verified closure under clause 10.2
Evidence the assessor asks for
  • Controlled documents with approval and acknowledgement records
  • Internal audit reports and the annual programme behind them
  • Management review minutes with the clause 9.3 inputs and outputs
  • Corrective action records showing root cause and verification
  • Competence, training and calibration records

Each one is filed against the requirement it satisfies as the work happens, so the pack for the next visit already exists.

Walk it yourself

Name a clause in ISO 9001 and we will open it.

The requirement, the control attached to it, the evidence that satisfies it, and the audit checklist it generates. Nothing prepared in advance, because there is nothing to prepare.
