Having only one quality objective

We are a trading firm (buy and sell) small company with only 20 staff. Most of our product (terminal blocks) are mature enough. As the product specification are standardized and will not have too much change, we do not want to have much quality objectives at relevant function. We just want to have one quality objective for the whole company. We write this reason in our Quality Manual, will it be accepted during the Certification Audit against the ISO 9001 2015?

Answer:

The standard doesn't prescribe ho many objectives organization needs to have so your QMS with only one objective will be compliant with the standard even without justification for having only one objective in the manual. Certification auditor will probably frown upon this approach but he cannot report this as a nonconformity, as long as you comply with requirements of the standard related to the objectives.
