Quality management · SPEC SHEET
ISO 9001 is the quality management standard buyers ask for when they need confidence that work is controlled, repeatable and improving.
SPEC 01 · WHAT IT COVERS
Objectives, roles, risks and opportunities owned by top management, not delegated to a binder.
How work is planned, performed, checked and corrected across the certified scope.
People, infrastructure, measuring equipment and the records that prove competence.
Requirements capture, communication, outsourced processes and supplier evaluation.
Nonconformity handling, corrective action and management review that actually closes loops.
SPEC 03 · THE ROUTE
Five controlled steps, with the certification decision separated from the audit team.
SPEC 04 · TIMELINE
End-to-end timing depends mostly on your readiness and how fast findings close. QSI gives a dated plan at application review instead of promising a certificate by a date no audit has earned yet.
Scope, sites, shifts and man-days confirmed before anything is quoted.
Documentation and readiness review. Gaps are reported before Stage 2 is planned.
The certification audit, on your floor, against the running system.
Correction and corrective action evidence within agreed timescales.
Independent review of the file, then the certification decision and certificate.
Annual follow-up audits in years 2 and 3, then recertification before expiry.
SPEC 05 · WHAT IT PROVES
SPEC 06 · MAN-DAY TRANSPARENCY
Audit duration depends on headcount, sites, shifts, outsourced processes, risk and scope. QSI confirms these inputs before quoting man-days.
SPEC 07 · FAQ
Common questions about scope, timing and the audit, answered directly.
No. It applies to any organisation that needs controlled processes and evidence-based improvement.
Timing depends on readiness, scope and closure of findings. QSI will not promise a certificate before audit evidence exists.
No. You need documents and records that reflect how work is actually controlled.
QSI can explain findings and certification rules, but cannot provide consultancy for its own certification clients.
