How to start complying with ISO 9001

Answer:

The first step is to get to know with the standard requirements and performing a gap analysis to determine to what extent the organization is already compliant with the standard and what needs to be done to achieve the full compliance. Here is the link to our free GAP Analysis Tool https://advisera.com/9001academy/iso-9001-gap-analysis-tool/

Once you determine what needs to be done, yo need to establish the implementation of the standard as a project, determine the deadlines for activities, assign resources and responsibilities. Here you can find a free Project Plan for ISO 9001:2015 implementation https://advisera.com/9001academy/free-downloads// also you can find the ISO 9001 Implementation diagram on the same link.

When you finish with implementation of the standard, meaning to develop all documents and establish all the process, you need to conduct internal audit and management review to ensure that you are compliant with all requirements of the standard. Then you can hire certification body to conduct certification audit and to issue you the certificate.
