EN ISO 9001:2015 - Quality management
Due to constantly increasing demands on management systems in organisations the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) developed ISO 9000 series of quality management system standards. These standards were adopted as European ones and subsequently also as Czech technical standards.
The basic quality management system standards are divided into:
EN ISO 9001: 2015 - Quality Management Systems - Requirements
The ISO 9001 standard specifies requirements for quality management system which organisations can use for internal application, certification or for contractual purposes in contracts concluded with suppliers and customers. It is used in certification for an independent assessment of organisation's ability to meet requirements of EN ISO 9001:2015 standard for assessment of customers, for assessment of compliance with regulations, its own requirements set forth to achieve efficiency of all processes and a constant improvement of the quality management system.
EN ISO 9004:2009 - Managing for sustained success of an organization - A quality management approach
The ISO 9004 standard gives an instruction for a wider scope of quality management system objectives than that provided by ISO 9001. It concentrates particularly on a continual improvement of performance and efficiency of the entire organisation. It is employed when the top management seeks to surpass the requirements of ISO 9001 and to increase continuously organisation's performance.
EN ISO 9000:2015 - Quality Management Systems – Fundamentals and Vocabulary
The ISO 9000 gives fundamentals and principles of quality management system and quality management system terminology. It is used to explain terms utilised in the quality management system and to explain mutual links of the terms.
