ISO 9001 Certification - Quality Management Systems
Having an ISO9001 certified Quality Management System means your customers can have confidence that you will be able to meet their requirements and expectations.
More and more organisations and Government Departments require their suppliers and contractors to have ISO9001 Certification to demonstrate they have the processes in place to consistently meet requirements and expectations.
What is ISO 9001:2015?
ISO Standards, including ISO 9001:2015 (also referred to as: AS/NZS/ISO 9001:2016), is the most recognised standard globally. It has been developed to demonstrate that an organisation has processes in place to ensure consistent and compliant outcomes. The ISO9001 Standard can be used across all industries and (contrary to what many people initially expect) gives organisations the ability to develop and implement their own processes.
ISO9001 requirements do NOT dictate HOW an organisation must do things, instead it specifies requirements that organisations need to consider when developing their own systems. If anything, the ISO9001 standard encourages (and actually requires) businesses to determine their own processes, suitable to their unique ‘context’.
ISO 9001 Certification gives stakeholders confidence that a business is able to meet all relevant requirements and continues to enhance customer satisfaction. The standards also drive continual improvement of processes by setting clear objectives, understanding risk, monitoring results and identifying opportunities for improvement.
Whilst ISO 9001 Certifications are universally recognised and are commercially critical in many industries, ATLAS Certification clients do not only experience commercial benefits and better opportunities, the Quality System also helps with streamlining internal processes.
We Provide ISO 9001 Certificate (JAS-ANZ Accredited)
Our team of auditors is made up of highly skilled professionals with a thorough understanding of what it means to run a business. Our focus is on your business and your systems and reviewing its alignment with the relevant requirements, not on ‘trying to find non-compliances’ or on ‘ticking boxes’..
Our processes and the competence of our Auditors are regularly reviewed by JAS-ANZ, the Government appointed body tasked with safeguarding and protecting the professionalism, integrity and impartiality of ISO Certifications in Australia and New Zealand. ATLAS Certification has been accredited by JAS-ANZ, ensuring global recognition of all ISO 9001 Certificates issued by us.
The essence of ISO 9001 requirements is NOT updating policies and developing procedures. It is about understanding your own business. Determining what you want to achieve or have to comply with; understanding and managing risks; developing systems; monitoring & analysing your performance and making changes where results are not what you wanted or when other opportunities for improvement are identified.
Our role as your Certification Body is simply to verify that that structure is in place, enabling you to achieve intended results and continue to improve your processes and ultimately your business results.
Working with the team at ATLAS Certification (NT) will deliver more than just your ISO 9001 Certification – it will improve your business operations, enhance customer satisfaction and open doors to a better future for your business.

How to Achieve this Certification
The key to the successful implementation of a compliant Quality Management System to this standard always comes down to understanding these underlying principles of ISO 9001. Once the understanding is there, the actual requirements of the Standard are far less daunting and actually make a lot of sense.
A good Certification Body is much more than an Auditor who comes to do the Audit. At ATLAS Certification we understand small and medium businesses better than anyone. We understand the challenges and we can apply flexibility in our approach to best suit your needs and circumstances.
Most importantly, it is critical to select a Certification Body that understands that ‘one size fits all’ has no place in Certification Audits. Your QMS should be tailored and customised to your needs, to ensure it is a useful tool that adds value to your organisation and your processes.
