In short; yes it is possible to make money from adopting ISO9001. It is the best practice specification for implementing a Quality Management System (QMS) and has been proven to help your business win new contracts. A recent study by the British Assessment Bureau (BAB) found that “44% of respondents said that they had won business as a result of becoming certified to the ISO 9001 quality management standard”.  

The standard is used worlwide (in almost 170 countries in fact!) and leads the way for other management systems as well.

The standard has a number of benefits:

• Saves you money
• Enhances brand reputation and removes barriers to trade
• Increases customer satisfaction
• Streamlines operations and reduces waste
• Improves business performance and manages business risk
• Encourages internal communication and raises morale

Refer to the ISO 9001 standard with our requirements and watch your business grow!

In a recent survey undertaken by the British Assessment Bureau (BAB), it was found that “44% of respondents said that they had won business as a result of becoming certified to the ISO 9001 quality management standard”. The survey also found that 57% of people said that a client had motivated them to implement the standard, meaning that the prospect for gaining more work was the primary reason for attaining the standard.

ISO 9001:2008 (usually referred to as ISO 9001) is the best practice specification that helps businesses and organisations throughout the world develop a best-in-class Quality Management System (QMS). It is by far the world’s most established quality framework, currently being used by around 1,060,000 organisations in 170 countries worldwide. Italy, Germany and Spain alone count for a quarter of global certifications. The certifications set the standard not only for quality management systems, but management systems in general.

ISO 9001:2000 has now been withdrawn and replaced by the 2008 version of the standard. ISO 9001:2008 has been updated taking into account the latest in best practice and feedback from a rigorous review process that involved high-level industry experts.

The changes that have been made in ISO 9001:2008 are not radical in themselves, they are mainly changes that provide clarification and make the standard more compatible with ISO 14001. Organisations that are currently certified to the 2000 version of the standard need to update their certifications to the new version.
