Manufacturing industry certification

Certification means business

Ensuring you have the correct quality controls in place and managing them through the process from design to production and delivery, benefits your whole workforce and visitors.

Certification not only ensures environmental standards such as pollution prevention, waste management, recycling and energy conservation are maintained, it protects your brand reputation.

Quality standards also assist in delivering higher levels of client satisfaction.

ISO Standards For Manufacturing

While there are several ISO standards, manufacturing companies are encouraged to get certified to the following:

ISO 9001 (Quality)

One of the best-known sets of ISO standards, the ISO 9001 family applies to any industry and sector of activity and refers to the quality assurance system standards. It ensures that your processes are efficient and perfectly calibrated to deliver constant, reliable quality.

Once you are ISO 9001 2015 certified, your customers and peers are able to recognise your compliance with international requirements. Organisations who are able to assure the quality of their product have a higher chance of being favoured by the customers and bond easier within the industry, forming stronger business partnerships.

ISO 14001 (Environment)

The ISO 14001 standard aims to achieve responsible manufacturing, with sensitivity to the impact you have on the environment. Through this certification, your business becomes more socially responsible and able to achieve its goals while leading in terms of sustainability, eco-
friendliness, and positive impact on the environment.

Today’s customers and business partners want to see innovation and responsibility when it comes to how our industries impact the world we live in. Complying to the latest global standards will not only contribute to a stronger organisational culture, but it improves resource management overall.

ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety)

Your employees are your most important asset, and prioritising their safety and well-being is going to benefit your company as a whole, and keep motivation and performance high. This set of international standards of occupational health and safety reduces the risk of injuries and conditions in your facility. This directly impacts the turnover rate (minimising it) and the performance of your employees.

Fewer incidents in your manufacturing company mean lower insurance premiums, lower costs overall, and better-performing teams.

ISO 27001 (Information Security)

Your manufacturing company is certainly backed by an informational system, whether it’s a way for you to connect with your customer online, or an intranet network you are using for your employees. The ISO 27001 international standard addresses your informational security and processes through which you protect virtual data within your company.

ISO 27001 protects your virtual assets, sensitive information, and personal data that you may store in the process. This set of standards is addressed to any type of business with a virtual system in place, from small and medium businesses to industry giants.
