ISO 9001:2015 QMS (QUALITY MANAGEMENT STANDARDS)

BENEFITS OF ISO 9001:2015

ISO 9001:2015 is the most widely recognized ISO standard. This is a basic quality management system that can be implemented in industries of any type, any size, anywhere in the world. Registration to ISO 9001:2015 Standard provides objective proof that a business has implemented an effective quality management system, and that it satisfies all of the requirements of the applicable ISO standard

“We have now gone a step further, and ISO 9001:2015 is even less prescriptive than its predecessor, focusing instead on performance. We have achieved this by combining the procedure approach with risk-based thinking, and employing the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle at all levels in the organization.

All ISO standards are reviewed every five years to confirm that they remain relevant to the market environment. ISO 9001:2015 is the final result of a multi-year procedure involving representatives from ISO member countries and stakeholders from around the world.

ISO 9001 2008 had five main sections (4 to 8) and ISO 9001 2015 now has seven (4 to 10). This is because the new edition uses the new Annex SL template. According to ISO, all future management system standards (MSSs) will use this new layout and share the same basic needs. As a result, all new MSSs will have the same basic look and feel.

Section 4.3 of ISO 9001 2015 says “The organization shall apply all the requirements of this International Standard if they are applicable within the determined scope of its quality management system”. So once you’ve determined the scope of your QMS, ISO 9001 2015 says that every necessity must be applied within the boundaries defined by your statement of scope if it applies in your case.

The CE Mark certification is a mandatory in European marking for certain product groups to indicate conformity with the essential health and safety requirements set out in European Directives. The letters ‘CE’ are an abbreviation of Conformite Europeenne, French for European conformity. The CE Marking certification of products as “passport” which can allow a Manufacturer to freely circulate their products within the European market place.

The CE Marking certification declares that your product complies with the Essential Requirements of the applicable EU Directives.

Applicable requirements are set forth in various European Directives that replace individual country safety standards. The Directives apply to products manufactured within but also exported to the European Union.

The CE Mark certification is placed on a product as the manufacturer’s visual identifier that the product meets the requirements of relevant European Directives. It is mandatory for a wide range of products sold within or exported to the European market.

To facilitate free trade and ensure the safety of certain products, European countries have developed a series of standards, or Directives as they are called. Compliance is mandatory. It is a legal obligation on the part of the manufacturer or his agent. Penalties for failing to get CE-Marking certification for a product can be severe.

If you wish to sell your products within the European Union member states and the European Economic Area, the product in question must comply with the Directive(s). This also applies if you are a manufacturer who wants to export products into the European Member countries.

The Directives replace individual country standards as they relate principally to the safety of these products.

The Directives apply to a wide range of products. The most notable products that likely need CE-marking certification are:

• pressure equipment
• machinery of almost any description
• electrical and electronic equipment
• medical devices and equipment
• personal protective equipment
• equipment for use in potentially explosive environments

There are certain exclusions, but if you manufacture any of the above types of equipment or products then one or more of the Directives almost certainly apply.

Directives apply to 99% of all industrial and domestic products sold in Europe; it is the distinctive CE marking certification that signifies compliance with the applicable Directives. Without the CE mark certification and the correct documentation, manufacturers and importers are at an immediate disadvantage when competing against compliant competitors.

The requirements of the Directives are to ensure that manufacturers have identified and addressed all aspects of design and manufacturing that could impact safety and the safe operations of the equipment.

The actions required to become compliant with the Directives vary according to which Directive(s) apply and the type or classification of the equipment as defined by the Directive(s). However, there are some general steps you should follow:

Determine which, if any, EU Directives apply to your product(s),

Determine the extent to which your product already complies with the essential requirements of the Directives.

Choose conformity assessment routes. Depending on the nature of the equipment or product, you may be able to implement and declare compliance and affix the CE mark certification without assistance or service from an external company.

A Notified Body is an independent body appointed by an agency within one of the European countries, usually governmental, as being capable of performing the duties of a Notified Body as defined by the Directives.
