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.
Don’t just take our word for it – read these QMS customer testimonials
We have had our annual Audit today on our ISO 9001: 2015. Over the many years that I have been audited on all types of things I found your Auditor to be one of the best Auditors that I have had to work with. His manner and customer skills were excellent and he is a credit to your company.
Mark Wisbey, Production Manager. Anglo Adhesives & Services Limited
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.

QMS admin have been very helpful in organising my audits and gap analysis this year. They have answered my questions promptly and knowledgeably and have given me exactly what I've asked for. [The Consultant], who completed our ISO 9001:2008 audit early this year, and the gap analysis for the ISO 9001:2015 standard is immensely knowledgeable and helpful. His personable manner is second to none in this industry and he is a pleasure to spend time with, even when he's auditing my systems! A genuine treasure that QMS needs to keep hold of!Amy Juliet Reeves Rowley Halliwell. Yorkshire Profiles Ltd

Auditor and all QMS staf have been superb in every aspect
Our Auditor was very accommodating agreeing to move the appointment forward by a couple of hours, as were the office staff. [He] was very helpful during the audit, offering advice and help throughout. Our audit report was thorough and very fair, and [he] was very complimentary which was great to hear following our upgrade to ISO 9001:2015. We’ve been extremely happy with QMS and [the Auditor]'s help and guidance ever since we initiated the ISO 9001 process.John Armstrong, Operations Manager. Environmental Measurements Limited
