ISO 9001:2015

In 2015, ISO 9001, the world’s leading quality management standard, has been updated in Sep 2015.The new version follows a new, higher level structure to make it easier to use in conjunction with other management system standards, with increased importance given to risk. Organizations are granted a three-year transition period after the revision has been published to migrate from old to new standard to latest standard. Providence has been instrumental with facilitating this transition in more than 100 companies including 3rd party certification audit.

Why Get ISO 9001 Certified?

ISO 9001 uses a common structure (Annex SL) that makes aligning with other ISO standards easier. It also identifies risks early, so you can focus resources where they’re needed most. The leadership aspect ensures that top management is involved in improving quality, making it part of the overall business strategy.

By evaluating performance and promoting self-governance, companies can foster innovation and deliver more value to stakeholders. It also helps organizations consider the bigger picture when managing quality.

Steps to Certification

  1. Get a Quote: Start by filling out a Quote Request Form, either a quick one or a detailed one online. This helps us understand your business needs and provide an accurate proposal for certification.
  2. Assessment: Once you accept the proposal, we will schedule an assessment with an NQA Assessor. The assessment includes two required visits as part of the Initial Certification Audit. Your management system must have been in use for at least three months and have gone through a management review and internal audits.
  3. Certification: After a successful two-stage audit, a decision is made, and if positive, you will receive your certification. Certification lasts for three years and requires annual surveillance audits, with a recertification audit every three years.
