The ISO 9001:2015 approval of a quality management system (QMS) means an organization demonstrates its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements, and aims to improve customer satisfaction through the effective application of the quality system, including processes for system improvement, and the assurance of conformity to customer requirements.
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies whose technical committees prepare and carry out the International Standards. ISO 9001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for the organization's quality management system. ISO 9001 was first published in 1987. The current version, ISO 9001:2015, was released in September 2015. The previous version was ISO 9001:2008.
Organizations that are certified to ISO 9001:2008 should transition up to ISO 9001:2015 as quickly as reasonably possible, but the ISO Committee on Conformity Assessment has agreed to a three year transition period.
Electron Machine Corporation achieved ISO 9001:2015 as of November 2016.
