Accrediting part of a company

My question is based on ISO 9001 accreditation, is it possible for a division of a company to gain ISO 9001?

Answer:

Certification bodies are accredited by accreditation bodies. Certification bodies certify organizations. Yes, it is possible to certify just a division of a company or even a line of products of a company. We are talking about the quality management system scope definition.

what would be the main requirements for a Quality Management System?

Answer:

A quality management system is a whole. I cannot say that some clauses are more important than others, all clauses are important. What can happen is that the adoption of a certain scope can make some clauses not applicable, in that case those clauses can be excluded.
