Overview

ISO stands for the International Organization for Standardization. As an international standardization organization, ISO’s name is derived from the Greek word ISOS, which means “the same.”
ISO was established on October 14, 1946, after the end of World War II, by 64 representatives from 25 countries to help facilitate international cooperation in industrial standardization. - Currently, 176 countries are participating in the ISO system.
Korea joined as a full member in March 1963, and became a P member (with speaker and voter rights) from an O member (with observer rights only) in 1991.
ISO is an international standard for QM (Quality Management) and QA (Quality Assurance) systems for the production processes of all products (including services, software, etc.). It establishes guaranteed standards for the quality of contract designs, procurement, production, installation, and services.

Concept of ISO9001

ISO9001 is an international standard for quality management system established by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and is applied to all products worldwide, in all industries. ISO9001 certification is a system that guarantees that the quality management system operated by the company is regulated and implemented in compliance with the requirements of the ISO9001 standard by the nationally recognized certification body.

Necessity of ISO9001

The importance of quality is increasing with the increased sophistication of consumers. As such, the ISO9001 certification has become essential as the importance of service quality expands due to intensifying competition in the market. This can help overcome trade barriers caused by differences in industry standards between countries due to the requirement for ISO9001 in the open international market.

Effects of ISO9001

1. Increase in sales, overcoming of export barriers by enhancing corporate image
In a globalized market, most customers require ISO certification as a premise for transactions.
2. Increase in internal and external reliability of the company
Work systems reorganize in a manner that increases public confidence and enhances the self-esteem of employees
3. Foundation for quality innovation and technology development
  • ­ Innovating quality without stabilizing quality defeats the purpose.
  • ­ Documenting and managing records to turn individual know-how and information into data and assets (accumulation of corporate know-how)
4. Clarification of responsibilities and authority
5. Relationship with KSA4000
6. Relationship with KSA4000
