Certification as a requirement to sell

Answer:

This already happens in Europe for many mature products, if you want to manufacture and sell in Europe toys, reinforced concrete beams or fridges you have to have a CE marking.

I believe that your question has a design problem: if you are speaking about an idea for a product, are you speaking about an idea for a new, an innovative product, a new category? In that case, I do not believe that any customer or government would require ISO 9001 as a pre-condition to be in the market. I already worked with companies that launched innovative construction materials in Europe without CE marking because there were no standards approved. Customers can demand anything, but I know no case where governments require ISO 9001 certification to be able to operate in the market.
