What is the ISO 9001 standard?
In 1986 DQS issued the first certificate for a quality management system according to ISO 9001 in Germany - at that time still based on a draft version. Since then, the development of this successful quality standard and its contribution to value generation has been closely linked with the history of DQS, including in Australia and New Zealand.

How does ISO 9001 certification in Australia and New Zealand work?
Once all requirements of ISO 9001 have been implemented, you can have your management system certified. With DQS Australia / New Zealand, you will then go through a multi-stage certification process. If a certified management system is already established in your company, the process can be shortened.
In the first step, you will discuss your company, your quality management system and the goals of your ISO 9001 certification with DQS Australia / New Zealand. On this basis, you will promptly receive a detailed and transparent offer, tailored to your individual needs.
Project planning can be useful for larger projects in order to plan schedules and the performance of audits for sites or departments. In addition, a pre-audit offers the possibility to identify strengths and improvement potentials of your quality management system in advance. Both services are optional.
The certification audit starts with a system analysis (audit stage 1) and the evaluation of your documentation, objectives, results of your management review and internal audits. This determines whether your management system is sufficiently developed and ready for certification. In the next step (system audit stage 2), your auditor assesses the effectiveness of all management processes on site, applying the ISO 9001 standard. The audit result is presented at a final meeting. If necessary, action plans are agreed upon.
After the certification audit, the results are evaluated by the independent certification board of DQS. You will receive an audit report documenting the audit results. If all standard requirements are met, you will receive the ISO 9001 certificate.
With a view to continuous improvement and the ongoing effectiveness of your quality management system, on-site audits of key components of your system are conducted at least once a year to identify potential for improvement.
An ISO 9001 certificate is valid for a maximum of three years. Recertification is carried out well in advance of expiry to ensure continued compliance with the applicable standard requirements. Upon compliance, a new certificate is issued.
