Manufacturing
How ISO certification can help your Manufacturing company
Whatever product you manufacture, quality and customer satisfaction are of paramount importance.
ISO Management Systems are internationally recognised and increase customer confidence in your products. They demonstrate that you’re committed to quality, comply with regulations, aim to avoid product recalls and failures, and have your customers’ needs at the forefront of your operations. All of which is annually checked and confirmed by a third party.
Our professional consultants have been helping Manufacturing businesses across the UK implement these Standards for over 25 years through our fast and cost-effective route to ISO certification. We can also advise you on the most appropriate and beneficial Standards for your business.
Which ISO standards are best for my Manufacturing business?
You can choose from various ISO Management Systems. However, the ones best suited to the Manufacturing industry are:
ISO 9001
Quality
Quality control is important for any industry, but for manufacturing it is even more so. An ISO 9001 certificate demonstrates that your organisation is customer-focused and committed to delivering consistent, quality products. This globally recognised Standard ensures best-practice processes are in place which help to increase efficiency and drive continual improvement.
ISO 14001
Environment
The ISO 14001 Standard will help you quantify, monitor and control the ongoing environmental impact of your operations. By managing the use of natural resources, energy and waste you can improve your corporate image and credibility, helping you to win new customers as well as identify opportunities for cost savings.
ISO 45001
Health & Safety
Gaining the ISO 45001 certification allows you to demonstrate that your business operates a best-practice Occupational Health and Safety Management System – reducing the likelihood of accidents and breaches of legislation, as well as improving your organisation’s overall performance.
What are the benefits of ISO certification?
An ISO certification for your manufacturing business could provide the following benefits:
- More efficient delivery of products
- Reduction in errors, resulting in reduced waste
- Improved environmental performance of your supply chain
- Compliance with legislation and regulations
- Reduced costs
- Increased business – both new and existing
- Enhanced reputation, by demonstrating your commitment to meeting international standards of excellence.

Service was excellent. Considering this was my first steps into quality and being asked to partake in our company's audit it was initially very daunting. [The Consultant] put my nerves at ease and was exceptional in his guidance and manner.
Everything was easy from booking a date to undertaking the audit and receiving the report on time and in full at the end of the process.
I look forward to working on the improvements noted and seeing QMS next year.
