ISO 9001:2008 is the standard that provides a set of standardized requirements for a quality management system.  The ISO 9001:2008 standard provides a tried and tested framework for taking a systematic approach to managing the organization's processes so that they consistently turn out product that satisfies customers' expectations.

  Implementing ISO 9001:2008 benefits the following;

• The standard requires the organization itself to audit its ISO 9001:2008-based quality system to verify that it is managing its processes effectively - or to check that it is fully in control of its activities.
• In addition, the organization may invite its clients to audit the quality system in order to give them confidence that the organization is capable of delivering products or services that will meet their requirements.
• Lastly, the organization may engage the services of an independent quality system certification body to obtain an ISO 9001:2008 certificate of conformity. This last option has proved extremely popular in the market-place because of the perceived credibility of an independent assessment.
• The organization may thus avoid multiple audits by its clients, or reduce the frequency or duration of client audits.The certificate can also serve as a business reference between the organization and potential clients, especially when supplier and client are new to each other, or far.
