Product Certification

· CE Marking

· AS/EN 9100 Certification for Aerospace Industry
· Kite Mark
· Wrap Certification
· Trade Mark
. Patent Mark

Basically, the steps involved in becoming ISO certified are as follows:

1. Decide what it is that you are looking to get out of your new ISO quality system.
Is there a particular area of your company that needs help with organization and planning? Is quality suffering in some areas more than others? Do you need to focus your efforts more in certain places, or just a general company tune-up? Are you more interested in bettering your customer satisfaction and profits? Or do you simply want a pretty certificate to hang on the wall and show to customers? (This is probably not the best reason to implement ISO!!!!)
2. Prepare your documentation in accordance with the ISO quality standard, and also in accordance with your company's quality goals.
The basic documentation you’ll need is a Quality Manual and a set of Quality System Procedures. Most companies will also have some forms as part of their quality system. On this website you can purchase templates for an ISO quality manual, a set of procedures, and a set of forms. These templates were prepared by an ISO Consultant and Quality Manager, with over 20 years experience in the Aerospace industry, who successfully guided several companies through the ISO certification process. While it would be impossible to write a generic ISO template that applies well to all companies, the templates available on this site are a good example of what documentation is needed for an ISO quality system. With these templates as a guide, and a little bit of time and research, a small business owner can put together an ISO quality system of his/her own, without having to hire an expensive consultant.

    ISO 9000 Series of Standards
    The following comprises the family of ISO 9000 series of standards:
    ISO 9000:2000 – Quality Management Systems: Concepts and Vocabulary.ISO 9001:2000 – Quality Management Systems: Requirements.
  • ISO 9004:2000 – Quality Management Systems: Guidance for Performance Improvement.
    Organizations will be assessed and awarded certification against ISO 9001:2000, whether or not they are involved in design.
    ISO 9004:2000 offers guidance on implementing a quality management system and although it is consistent with ISO 9001:2000 it is not intended for use for certification or contractual purposes.
    Overview of the standards
    ISO 9001:2000 contains five requirements sections, each dealing with one of the fundamental building blocks required by any process. These are:
    Quality management system: This section details the general and documentation requirements that are the foundation of the management system. The general requirements ask you to look at the processes of the management system, how they interact with each other, what resources you need to run the processes; and how you will measure and monitor the processes. The second part of the section then sets out the requirements for the documentation needed to effectively operate the system and how the documentation should be controlled.
    Management responsibility: The management of the systems is the responsibility of the “top management” at a strategic level in the organization. The “top management” must know customers’ requirements at a strategic level and make a commitment to meeting these as well as statutory and regulatory requirements. “Top management” must also set policies; and to achieve these policies set objectives through planning how the objectives will be met.“Top management” should also ensure that there are clear internal communications and that the management system is regularly reviewed.
    Resource management: This covers the people and physical resources needed to carry out the processes. People should be competent to carry out their tasks and the physical resources and work environment need to be capable of ensuring that the customers' requirements are met.
    Product/Service realization: These are the processes necessary to produce the product or to provide the service. This is the act of converting the input of the process to the output. For a manufacturing organization, this may be the process of converting iron ore to steel via a blast furnace for example. For a service organization, this may be the process of moving a product or person from one place to another, for example, a taxi journey.
    Measurement analysis and improvement: These are the measurements to enable the systems to be monitored to provide information on how the systems are performing with respect to the customer, the management systems themselves through internal audits, the processes and the product. Analyzing these, including any defect or shortfall in performance, will provide valuable information for use in improving the systems and products where this is required.
    Each of these five fundamental building blocks is required for any process because, if one is missing, a controlled process does not occur.
