ISO 9001 Certification

The quality requirements of global markets are diverse and dynamic. Only with systematic quality management can these be met sustainably and successfully. More than one million companies worldwide are currently certified according to the internationally recognized ISO 9001 standard. DQS issued the first ISO 9001 certificate nationwide as early as 1986.

The ISO 9001 standard defines the requirements for a quality management system that companies must implement in order to meet the expectations of internal and external stakeholders. ISO 9001 is based on the seven principles of quality management (source: DIN EN ISO 9000):

• Customer orientation and sustainable success
• Management and leadership
• Commitment of people
• Process-oriented approach
• Improvement
• Fact-based decision making
• Relationship management

In use since 1987, the ISO 900Xer series has established itself as a proven management tool in industry and the service sector. In principle, certification is suitable for companies and organizations of all sizes and in all sectors. ISO 9001 certification signals reliability and is an effective tool for managing quality processes to meet customer requirements. Certified companies therefore have decisive advantages when winning new customers and invitations to tender.

An effective and efficient management system is characterized by clear objectives, measurable results, adequate resources, structured processes and their continuous improvement. Thus, it helps your company to gain valuable competitive advantages: Increasing customer satisfaction, opening new markets and improving processes. At the same time, a management system helps ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and mitigates associated risks.

With transparent processes and clearly defined responsibilities, a quality management system (QMS) is an important building block for holistic management. An effective QMS is the basis for a continuously improving organization and thus sets the course for successful company development.

• Structured and targeted implementation of specific customer requirements
• Access to new sales markets at home and abroad through proven quality capability
• Entrepreneurial risk becomes more manageable; transparent processes support the implementation of laws and regulations
• Involvement of employees through communication, information and training
• Easier integration of other standards and management systems (for example ISO 14001, ISO 50001, ISO 45001 or ISO/IEC 27001)

Audits can last one day or even several weeks. Based on their industry knowledge, the DQS auditors deal with your company, your goals, the defined processes and your management system competently and at eye level. For successful certification, we therefore tailor each audit to your company and plan it in a clear, transparent manner.

The cost of ISO 9001 certification depends on a number of factors. For example, it plays an important role whether a certified management system already exists. In addition, the size of your company and the complexity of the quality management system have an influence on the duration of the audits and the price. For these reasons, the costs for certification according to DIN EN ISO 9001 cannot be given as a lump sum.
