The same standards are expected of the thousands of manufacturers and other contractors who provide equipment, vehicles, weapons, catering and other services to defence organisations across the world, including the Australian Defence Force.
Certification means business
Having the correct certification is not only a prerequisite for many suppliers to the air force, army and navy, it also ensures that those who serve our country are doing so using resources that have been produced using the very best practices. Most overseas forces will have similar needs and expectations.
In many cases, certification is critical to the success of tenders for defence industry contracts.

Which ISO Standards Are For The Defence Industry?
ISO 9001: Quality Management System
In the defence industry, ISO 9001 certification ensures rigorous quality management systems crucial for high-stakes operations. It helps defence contractors demonstrate their ability to consistently meet customer and regulatory standards, enhancing efficiency and reliability in products and services. This can lead to greater trust and more partnership opportunities with government and defence organisations that demand strict compliance.
ISO 27001: Information Security Management System
ISO 27001 certification is vital for the defence industry as it strengthens information security management. By adopting this standard, defence companies can better protect sensitive information from cyber threats and demonstrate compliance with international security regulations. This certification reassures stakeholders of a firm’s commitment to top-level cybersecurity, crucial in the defence sector.
