Quality Management System

The ISO 9001 standard outlines a framework for improving business quality and reducing production/ service defects. It does this by setting up a holistic framework that adopts the plan do check act cycle for all its quality related processes.

ISO 9001 establishes a vocabulary of understanding for any organization looking to provide products and services that consistently meet quality requirements, customer expectations and other relevant interested parties in the most efficient manner possible.

It is not a standard for products or people and it is for all industries, regardless of company size.

Medical Devices
Quality management for medical devices provides requirements for quality management systems (QMS) of companies involved in the medical device industry. The standard is based on ISO 9001 QMS standard (which is not specific to any industry or type of product) and incorporates additional elements relevant to medical device processes.
Although ISO 13485 only covers QMS requirements and does not define medical device quality, some countries require ISO 13485 certification to support medical device regulatory approval. Conversely, ISO 9001 is not required to support medical device regulatory approval in any country.
Environmental Management System
Environmental Management System provides guidelines to think holistically and systemically about your processes and how they relate to one another, resulting in better environmental performance.
The standard outlines a framework that helps organizations identify, manage, monitor and control their environmental issues and impacts in a holistic manner or industry specific, whilst accounting for local, and if necessary, international environmental regulations.
Food Safety Management System
Food safety management system leads to the deployment of resources to ensure the safety of products and services which is an approved prevention and continuous improvement tool.
The PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) cycle is deployed at two levels: the first of these applies to the management system, the second to the HACCP principles. ISO 22000 builds trust with your suppliers, customers and interested parties within the food supply chain. It promotes effective communication with them by identifying potential hazards and by defining the measures to be implemented to control those hazards.
Social Security – Business Continuity Management System

Business Continuity Management outlines a framework for Business Resilience and a vocabulary of understanding for any organization looking to provide products and services that consistently meet the requirements and expectations of customers and other relevant interested parties in the most efficient manner possible.

Information Security Management System
Information Security Management System is a system that focussing on digital information and data security for those organizations dealing with sensitive, confidential and or personal information. The standard provides a holistic approach following the plan, do, check, and act cycle to continuously improve data security within an organization of any size or scale.
Occupational Health and Safety Management System

Occupational Health and Safety Management System gives your organization guidelines to think holistically and systemically about work processes and how they relate to occupational health and safety, resulting in a safer work environment.

The standard provides a comprehensive framework that addresses all work activities throughout the company that have potential for any occupational health and safety risks. It prepares organizations in risk-based thinking in terms of occupational health and safety to better prepare them for any potential hazard they may face during any given work related activity.

Water Efficiency Management System
Water Efficiency Management is a resource-based system that looks into the organization methods in saving, preserving and recycling water. It accounts for all water consuming processes and systems applicable to all relevant business activities of the organization. Through a scheduled water use review, organizations are able to identifying significant ware uses, water use performance indicators, water baselines and which processes to monitor for any potential improvements or significant deviations.
Energy Management System

Energy Management is a resource-based system that focuses on the organizations methods in saving, reducing and monitoring energy consumption. It provides a framework to systematically monitor, measure and evaluate energy consuming systems on energy performance in relation to their system's application.

Through the energy use review organizations are able to determine the significant energy uses, energy performance indicators, baselines and which facilities, processes, systems or equipment to monitor for any potential improvements or significant deviations.
