Quality Management System (QMS)
What is ISO 9001?
ISO 9001:2015 is the international standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS) recognised in over 180 countries. It sets requirements for organisations that want to ensure their products and services consistently meet customer expectations.
In Malaysia, ISO 9001 certification is a key requirement for participating in government and GLC tenders. It also serves as proof of your company's credibility to customers and international business partners.
The PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle forms the foundation of ISO 9001 — ensuring continuous improvement in every process within your organisation.
