What is the international ISO 9001 certificate and is it needed in the Russian reality?
Each company can answer this question only for itself. However, according to the research of the International Organization for Standardization, about a thousand companies from different countries say that the presence of the ISO 9001 certificate leads to more income, more recognition of their company, better market positions, and market conquest. In addition, it is noted that having an international certificate contributes to a better corporate culture and better document management. Official recognition that the quality management system meets the requirements of ISO 9001 leads to a reduction in the company's financial losses.
Official recognition that the quality management system complies with ISO 9001 requirements according to international certification criteria implies that the body conducting the certification audit is itself registered or accredited by an international company and is one of the international operating bodies.
Is an international certificate necessary? Of course, if clients and the market itself do not require a certificate from the company and if there are no challenges from competitors, then it is not worth spending money to obtain a certificate for the company's management. In fact, a company needs not so much a certificate as a working quality management system that will bring its share of income or contribute to this income. In this context, obtaining a certificate is just the final stage, when the industry community recognizes that your system works as required, and you can show this certificate to anyone.
It is very important to pay attention to which certification company issues this certificate, because the degree of respect all certification bodies have is different. In this respect, it is important to turn to companies like SMK STANDART, which have proven themselves in the market and can adapt your wishes to requirements of the market.
