What is the meaning of ISO 9001 and Quality Management

Worldwide more than one million companies have achieved ISO 9001 certification which is awarded by impartial and accredited auditors such as TÜV UK Ltd. The standard requires annual audits as part of a three-year-cycle by an independent auditor.

ISO 9001 principles are based on reducing risks and leveraging the opportunities for successful business improvement. ISO 9001 certificated companies strengthen their market position and build a strong and loyal client base, which, in turn, improves competitiveness. An ISO 9001 certificate awarded by TÜV UK Ltd. prevents your organisation making expensive errors.
