ISO 9001 QMS Certification Worldwide ISO Survey 2015

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has released the 2015 results of the ISO Survey, showing the number of certifications to ISO management systems worldwide. The ISO Survey of certifications is an annual survey of the number of valid certificates to ISO management system standards worldwide.

The results of the ISO Survey (2015) considered ISO 9001 QMS Certifications only. The survey revealed:

The number of ISO 9001 certificates issued in 2014 were 1,036,321. In 2015 we saw a total of 1,033,936 certificates issued. This 0.2% change is historically seen after a standard has been revised. It is worthwhile mentioning all certificates in 2014 were issued to the ISO 9001:2008 specification.

Proof ISO 9001 gears your business for rapid growth

When contracting to large businesses or the public sector (government) ISO 9001 acts as a prequalification tool. It lets others know your business has its affairs in order. This is particularly the case for Aussie businesses exporting to the world.

A recent client satisfaction survey conducted by ISOsafe highlighted the benefits of achieving certification to ISO 9001. Here is a summary of the results.

•    The respondents from the survey are most likely to be small or medium enterprises (SME). However, the industries covered are wide and varied; the construction, oil and gas, retail, and technology sectors are just a handful of many found within the survey’s sample.

•    We found that 38 percent of respondents said that they had won business (everyone loves getting more clients/customers right?) as a result of certification

•    The survey also showed that 76 percent of ISOsafe clients found that ISO 9001 certification had helped them to be more competitive. Breaking down that figure, 22 percent of respondents said that ISO 9001 certification allowed them to bid for more contracts, 31 percent said they had won contracts, 20 percent said they had raised their profile, and 3 percent said they now have an advantage over their competitors.

•    Of course, fundamentally ISO 9001 is aimed at providing a framework for organisations to help bring greater consistency and traceability to what they do. This wasn’t lost, with 55 percent of respondents saying that implementation had led to internal improvement.

Anecdotally, our survey has shown that clients tend to fit in one of two camps: those looking for business improvement and those looking to win new business. From an industry perspective, the fear is that if the latter reason continues to dominate, ISO 9001 will be viewed as a tick-box exercise rather than a business improvement tool.

In Australia, ISO 9001 acts as a pre-qualification tool. The idea is that it saves companies both time and money in avoiding having to audit every supplier. Certification provides a level of assurance that rigorous checks have already been done by an unbiased external body governed by JAS-ANZ. The trouble is, meeting the requirements of the standard and truly living it are two very different things.

Get serious about forklift safety, this December

Forklifts (or industrial lift trucks) are used to stack and transfer loads in many workplaces. At ISOsafe we see the statistics, year after year reporting on workplace deaths and injuries resulting in substantial financial and human costs for workers, businesses and the wider community

The main reasons why people are killed or seriously injured by a forklift include:
✓   hit by a forklift because of driver error, working too close to the forklift or inadequate traffic management
✓   hit by a load a forklift was moving because the driver did not use an attachment when one was needed, or assisting to adjust or steady the load
✓   not wearing a seat belt in a tip-over. The forklifts mostly tipped because operators were turning on uneven or sloping ground
