ISO 9001 is an international management system standard that specifies requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS). Organizations use the standard to demonstrate their ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.
Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO 9001 is the only standard within the ISO 9000 family to which organizations can certify. The standard defines how to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve a QMS. ISO 9001 applies to organizations of all sizes and sectors.
Revision and Current Version
ISO 9001 was first published in 1987. The standard has undergone periodic revisions in 1994, 2000, 2008, and 2015 to maintain relevance to evolving business environments. The current version is ISO 9001:2015. A 2024 amendment added requirements for organizations to consider climate change as a relevant issue when determining external and internal factors affecting the QMS. The next revision, ISO 9001:2026, is expected to be published within the coming months.
Certification to ISO 9001 is voluntary. Organizations typically pursue certification through accredited third-party certification bodies that conduct audits to verify compliance with the standard's requirements. More than one million certificates have been issued in over 189 countries.
