About ISO 9001

Today there are more than a million organizations worldwide that have adopted the principles and achieved certification to the requirements of ISO 9001, Quality Management System.

Today’s aviation ISO certification provides aviation and aerospace organizations with a comprehensive process-focused framework upon which you can build business processes that lead to the successful achievement of organizational objectives. Organizations that implement an effective business management system create a confidence among their stakeholders in the capability of their processes and the reliability of their products and or services; while at the same time, benefiting from improved risk management. In addition, an effective business management system serves to create the basis for continual improvement leading to increased customer satisfaction and ultimately to the success of the organization.

Aviation ISO certification is based upon the following principles

• Customer Focus
• Leadership
• Involvement of People
• Process Approach
• System Approach to Management
• Continual Improvement
• Factual Approach to Decision Making and
• Mutually Beneficial Supplier Relationship.

As a basis for a set of operating standards they are valued and applied by successful organisations all over the world in all fields of industry and commerce. These principles form the very foundation upon which ISO has built the international standard for quality in aviation ISO certification. The ISO 9001:2008 is now being used by many regulatory bodies as a way to improve standards.
