What is ISO Certification? 


ISO certification certifies that a management system, manufacturing
process, service, or documentation procedure has all the requirements for
standardization and quality assurance. ISO (International Organization for
Standardization) is an independent, non-governmental, international
organization that develops standards to ensure the quality, safety, and
efficiency of products, services, and systems.
ISO certifications exist in many areas of industry, from energy
management and social responsibility to medical devices and energy
management. ISO standards are in place to ensure consistency. Each
certification has separate standards and criteria and is classified
numerically. For instance, the ISO certification we currently hold at Mead
Metals is ISO 9001:2008. 

ISO 9001 Definition


The certification ISO 9001:2008 includes three components: ISO, 9001,
and 2008. Here's what each component represents:

ISO
As mentioned above, ISO refers to the International Organization for
Standardization. This organization develops the standards, and it does in
order to certify businesses or organizations. Certification is handled third-
party and tested annually. 

9001
The number appearing after ISO classifies the standard. All standards
within the ISO 9000 family refer to quality management. ISO 9001 is
among ISO's best-known standards, and it defines the criteria for meeting
a number of quality management principles. It helps businesses and
organizations be more efficient and improve customer satisfaction. 

2008
The final number in an ISO certification refers to the version of the
standard that's being met and is represented by the calendar year those
standards were launched. 2008 is the fourth edition of ISO 9001. The
newest version, ISO 9001:2015, was launched in September 2015, and
Mead Metals is currently updating its processes to meet the specifications
of this newest version. 

What Does ISO 9001


Certification Mean?  
If an organization bills themselves as "ISO 9001 Certified," this means that
the organization has met the requirements designated under ISO 9001
(which you can read in full here). ISO 9001 requires organizations to define
and follow a quality management system that is both appropriate and
effective while also requiring them to identify areas for improvement and
take action toward those improvements.

As a result, it's typically understood that an organization claiming ISO 9001


certification is an organization with products and services that meet quality
standards. 

ISO Certification Explained


In order to sell to certain industries, being ISO 9001 certified is required -
the automotive industry is a popular example. We were certified to ISO in
1998, and it's helped our organization in numerous ways.

ISO standards have given us a layout of what needs to be done on every


order. We know the standards that need to be met, and we have the tools
in place to ensure quality, consistency, and safety. What we do, how we
check for quality, and what's required of us is all laid out by ISO. 

ISO certification standards also help keep our products and services
relevant. When the standards change, we change along with them. When
we work with new customers, we send them our certification details so
they know they can expect ISO standards be met.
