ISO management systems

ISO 9001 is the most widely used quality management standard in the world. It sets out the requirements for an organisation's quality management system and helps businesses demonstrate their ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer requirements and applicable regulatory requirements. ISO 9001 certification proves an organisation's commitment to quality, efficiency and the continual improvement of its processes. The standard applies to manufacturing, construction, trade, logistics and service companies regardless of their size.

ISO 14001 provides a framework that an organisation can use to protect the environment and respond to changing environmental conditions, in balance with socio-economic needs. The standard requires the identification of activity aspects with an environmental impact, the setting of objectives and programmes to reduce them, compliance with environmental legislation and continual improvement. Certification demonstrates a responsible attitude towards nature, improves the corporate image and opens access to new markets and public tenders.

ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety (OHS) management. It replaced OHSAS 18001 and provides a framework for controlling risks, reducing workplace accidents and improving the working environment. The standard requires the active involvement of top management, consultation with workers, and the management of suppliers and contractors. ISO 45001 certification is an advantage when bidding for tenders and public contracts in the construction sector, industry and logistics.

ISO 39001 is a standard for road traffic safety (RTS) management. It is intended for organisations whose activities are related to road traffic — transport companies, road infrastructure builders, municipalities, logistics operators and suppliers. The standard helps to reduce deaths and serious injuries resulting from road incidents. It requires an assessment of the risks related to road traffic, the establishment of safety objectives and the monitoring of results.
