ISO in brief

ISO is the International Organization for Standardization. ISO has a membership of some 160*
national standards bodies from countries large and small, industrialized, developing and in
transition, in all regions of the world.
ISO’s portfolio of over 18600* standards provides business, government and society with practical
tools for all three dimensions of sustainable development : economic, environmental and social.
ISO standards make a positive contribution to the world we live in. They facilitate trade, spread
knowledge, disseminate innovative advances in technology, and share good management and
conformity assessment practices.
ISO standards provide solutions and achieve benefits for almost all sectors of activity, including
agriculture, construction, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, distribution, transport, medical
devices, information and communication technologies, the environment, energy, quality
management, conformity assessment and services.
ISO only develops standards for which there is a clear market requirement. The work is carried out
by experts in the subject drawn directly from the industrial, technical and business sectors that
have identified the need for the standard, and which subsequently put the standard to use. These
experts may be joined by others with relevant knowledge, such as representatives of government
agencies, testing laboratories, consumer associations and academia, and by international
governmental and nongovernmental organizations.
An ISO International Standard represents a global consensus on the state of the art in the subject
of that standard.

Quality Management Principles
1 Focus on customers.
A successful organization does this. It's critical to understand what your customers want, what they
need and meet their requirements. You also need to have ways of keeping in touch with how they
perceive your performance, that is how well they (not you!) think you've met their requirements.
2 Provide leadership
Leaders provide clear direction to an organization, pointing the way and being clear about its purpose
(or mission/vision/whatever-you-call-it). They should encourage and develop a culture and
environment in which people do what needs to be done to satisfy customers. Leadership isn't telling or
directing people, it is leading them.
And the culture required is one that goes beyond just 'doing the work' to underpinning how people
think and talk and behave: the culture of the organization.
3 Involve people at all levels
The most effective way to achieve quality is by involving people across all levels of the organization.
Everyone contributes to the success (or otherwise) of an organization and has a part to play in it, as well
as a responsibility for quality.
Whether the word quality appears in their job title is quite immaterial.
10
Quality Management Principles
4 Take a process approach
Efficiency is better achieved when things are managed as processes, rather than as individual tasks
or separate departments.
A process is a sequence of related activities, organized to achieve a particular purpose.

Quality Management Principles
5 Adopt a systems approach to management
This means understanding what a management system is, its various parts and how you
want it to work. It also means having consistent ways to do and manage things, rather
than ad hoc 'making it up' and/or just being reactive.
6 Continually improve
Always aim to do better. Make improving what you do or make a permanent objective.
7 Make decisions based on facts
Use suitable information / facts / data when making decisions -- as opposed to
opinions, feelings, knee jerk responses, snap reactions, 'gut instinct' etc.
To do this, you need to decide first what data you will need, collect it, and
analyze/review it.
8 Aim for relationships with suppliers that are of mutual benefit.
An organization and its suppliers depend on each other. Work with your suppliers
wherever possible, so that you can both benefit.

Structure of an ISO 9001 QMS
ISO 9001:2000 Standard - clause headings:
0.
Introduction
1.
Scope
2.
Normative Reference
3.
Terms and Definitions
4.
Quality Management System
5.
Management Responsibility
6.
Resource Management
7.
Product Realization
8.
Measurement, Analysis and Improvement
The first 4 ( 0 to 3 ) clauses do not provide
any requirements for a QMS. They just
provide background information: like
purpose, concepts, principles used - (like
Process Approach, PDCA) etc.,
14
Structure of an ISO 9001 QMS
The remaining five clauses numbering 4 through 8 provide the control requirements that a QMS must implement. The
following is a summary explanation of these 5 major clauses or elements of the ISO 9001:20000 standard. Each major
clause has several sub-clauses. Collectively, these 5 clauses set out the requirements for your QMS.
Clause 4 - Quality Management System - sets requirements to identify, plan, document, operate and control QMS
processes and to continually improve QMS effectiveness.
Clause 5 - Management Responsibility - sets requirements for top management to demonstrate its leadership and
commitment to develop, implement and continually improve the QMS.
Clause 6 - Resource Management - sets requirements to determine, provide and control the various resources needed
to operate and manage QMS processes; to continually improve QMS effectiveness; and to enhance customer
satisfaction by meeting customer requirements.
Clause 7 - Product Realization - sets requirements to plan, operate and control the specific QMS processes that
determine, design, produce and deliver an organization’s product and services.
Clause 8-Measurement, Analysis and Improvement - sets requirements to plan, measure, analyze and improve
processes that demonstrate product and QMS conformity and continually improve QMS effectiveness.
The overall objective of your QMS must be to enhance customer satisfaction by meeting their requirements. This
objective can be achieved by using the ISO 9001 requirements to control your QMS processes and by continually
improving QMS effectiveness.

10 good things ISO standards can do for SMEs
1. Standards help you compete on a level playing field with bigger enterprises
“ Canadians tend to be shy. We don’t market ourselves well internationally. We don’t have the
aggressiveness of our foreign competitors. So when we go up against tough competition, we
can let our standards certificate speak for us. It gives us credibility.”
Doug Smith
President
Conematic Heating Systems
Canada
Conematic Heating Systems is a privately owned company and has a long list of certificates
verifying its conformity to technical standards. Conematic has been working towards certification
to ISO 9001, the world’s most recognized quality management system standard.

2. Standards open up export markets for your products and services
“ The payoff for engaging in standards work is greater than many small business people realize.
Standards are both important and interesting. For a company like Baltic Safety, it’s essential to
get involved with the working groups so we can get started early with our planning for future
designs and production methods. Globalization means that ISO standards are key for any
company that hopes to succeed in export markets.”

3. Standards help you discover best business practices
“ The high technical level of our activity must be based on a sound methodology, on
personnel experience and on rigorous project management. ISO 9001 and ISO 9004 helped us
in building up processes to manage all these aspects coherently and unambiguously from
design, up to deployment and customer help, which is deeply appreciated by our national and
international customers.”

4. Standards drive efficiency in your business operations
“Without standards I would have had to close down… Not taking part (in standardization) would
have cost me my company and my livelihood… What does it cost me if I do not get involved and
others define rules that are out of line with my needs, interests and experiences, but which I have
to comply with because they are laid down in a standard ? Hence, it is best to join in right at the
start.”

5. Standards add credibility and confidence for your customers
“In addition to achieving higher customer confidence levels and better customer retention, our
vendor selection process has also improved. For example, potential vendors are invited to make
changes to their businesses to be in line with ISO 28000 requirements, such as improving their
document control, restricting access to certain areas to authorized personnel only,
and enhancing security at their premises by installing CCTV cameras. Only vendors whose
business processes are aligned to ISO 28000 will be selected to work with us. This ensures that
our customers will receive consistently good service.”

6. Standards open new business opportunities and sales
“The implementation of a quality management system and use of Kenya standards in my
production has resulted in technology transfer, opening of new business opportunities and
improved sales of my products. I urge small companies to embrace the use standards in order to
upgrade the quality of their products and access both local and export markets.”

7. Standards give you the competitive edge
“ Basically, I was prompted into finding out more about ISO 9001 because many of our competitors
were starting to publicize the fact that they complied with it. Now that we can do the same, we are
finding that we are attracting lots of business from larger companies that want the reassurance of
dealing with a firm that can demonstrate it complies with appropriate standards. A lot of businesses
choose to trade with companies that comply with recognized standards ahead of those that don’t –
especially in a trade like ours, where we deal with lifesaving devices.”
Mike Chilman
Managing Director
MC Fire Protection
