ISO 9001 Certification

The ISO 9001 standard is an international standard that aims to implement a quality management system within organisations of all sizes and in all sectors of activity.

The ISO 9001 standard defines specific requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS) that enables an organisation to base itself on the following principles:

• Management commitment,
• Customer focus,
• Employee involvement,
• A process approach, a system approach,
• Continuous improvement,
• Fact-based decision making,
• And mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers.

ISO 9001 certification is a voluntary process that will enable you to guarantee a reliable and controlled management strategy both internally and externally. It is by far the most sought-after and recognised certification in France and worldwide (with over a million certified organisations) in terms of management standards.

Frequency:

Following an initial or renewal audit, the certificate issued by OSAC Apave Aeroservices is valid for three years, subject to annual surveillance audits and satisfactory results.

Your ISO 9001 certification is a sign of your maturity in the areas covered by the ISO 9001:2015 standard: customer satisfaction, opportunity/risk approach, supplier management, etc.

Your ISO 9001 certification contributes to the implementation of a continuous improvement process that will control and reduce malfunctions in your business and increase the effectiveness and efficiency of your organisation.

The customer benefits of ISO 9001 certification are numerous:

• Standardisation of practices within your organisation
• Control over your activities and risks
• Cost reductions
• Improved performance – turnover and productivity – through optimised organisation
• Staff involvement
• Strengthened customer, supplier and partner confidence through recognition by an independent third party
• Improved customer satisfaction through better understanding and consideration of their expectations
• Competitive advantage to increase the company's competitiveness and position itself in tenders
• Promotion and recognition of your commitment to quality

The ISO 9001 certification process is voluntary.

However, to ensure you are in the best possible position to apply for certification, facilitate the process and better meet the requirements of the ISO 9001 standard, we recommend that you:

• Have a Quality Management System in place
• Your Management System has been in place for at least 6 months
• It has been audited internally at least once
• A management review has been carried out

ISO 9001 certification is intended for organisations of all types and sizes, regardless of geographical, cultural and social conditions.
