ISO 9001 in Newcastle upon Tyne: questions clients ask

Who in Newcastle upon Tyne is most likely to need ISO 9001?

Start with subsea, offshore and engineering suppliers: operators and primes require approved supplier status. Then automotive and rail component makers: customers build quality management into purchase terms. It is voluntary unless a customer, tender or regulator makes it a condition.

Is ISO 9001 useful to a Newcastle professional services firm?

It can be when public bodies, universities and corporate clients score quality management in tenders. Firms with no such tenders may still find the discipline of defined processes, internal audit and review helpful. Look at the last few tender documents to see how often the certificate is requested.
