ISO 9000 Softwares

1. ISO 9000 Software – ISO 9000 Document Control Software

The concept of document control is integral to ISO 9000. Specifically ISO 9001: 2000, requires the establishment of a document control system that stores and manages documents relating to implementing, maintaining, and continually improving a quality management system. Within the context of ISO 9000, a quality system must be documented and quality records must be maintained. Document control helps ensure effective operation and facilitates better decision-making, by providing a vehicle for employees, customers, and partners to access controlled documentation from any location at anytime.

For high-tech companies that adhere to ISO 14000 environmental management standards, document control procedures are equally necessary to help them continuously improve their environmental management system.

The ISO 9000 Document Control Software is developed & designed to control the ISO 9000 Quality Manual, Operating Procedure, Forms & Documents digitally. System will track the all ISO 9000 Documents by ISO Document No. through out the system.

Training In ISO 9001 Standards

Implementing ISO 9001 in any organization first requires the development of the necessary knowledge, skills and understanding to enable the practical application of the standard. At this stage organizations often seek the help of a consultant but this is often unnecessary since the required understanding can easily be sought for free.

The training section provided by ISO 9001 Checklist is intended to give any business a knowledgeable foundation that ensures their quality management system is highly robust. It could save you £0000′s in consultancy fees.

The Concept behind ISO 9001 Training

ISO 9001 training is a unique internet browser based tutorial solution that provides expert practical guidance for businesses wishing to interpret ISO 9000 fundamentals to help better understand and implement the requirements of ISO 9001:2008. It could help your business to get the most out of your quality management system, and it’s free to use!

The ISO 9001 training section represents a body of knowledge which explains the requirements of the standard in plain English coupled with practical guidance and interpretation. The online ISO 9001 training section divides the standard into four sections that follow the Plan, Do, Check and Act cycle. The page menu then subdivides each section into Principles, Base Clauses and Requirements for easy comparison. Each stage of the cycle then relates each clause of ISO 9001:2008 to the key concepts that lie at the heart of quality management.

How does it Work?

Simple, it encourages the use of the PDCA cycle as a means to implement your quality management system by prompting the user to:

PLAN your quality system’s high level processes, define your quality policy and establish your quality objectives in accordance with the expected output. Consider; how will the quality management system be documented, what resources will be needed, who will have responsibility for what and how will the effectiveness of the system be evaluated and communicated.

DO carry out day-to-day activities by performing the necessary processes in accordance with any planned arrangements. Gather performance information by undertaking audits and other measurements as planned.

CHECK the results and analyse the information gathered through various measurements and monitoring activities to determine whether the quality management system has achieved what it set out to do.

ACT by using the results from internal audits, preventive actions and management reviews to ensure the continual improvement of your quality management system; continual improvement should be the organization’s permanent objective.What Happens after Implementation?

You need to choose a registrar. The registrar is a third party certification auditor who will assess your quality management system and issue a certificate if it meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2008. In choosing a registrar you should consider their industry experience, geographic coverage, price and service level offered. The key is to find a registrar who can meet your requirements. For further information regarding national accredited certification bodies, please visit UKAS.

Pre-assessment by your registrar normally takes place about 6 weeks before registration. The purpose of the pre-assessment audit is to identify areas where you may not be operating in accordance with the standard. This allows you to correct any deficiencies before registration.

Prior to registration, you should arrange an initial assessment with your registrar. At this point the registrar will review your quality management system (by interviewing staff, observing activities and checking records) to decide whether you should be recommended for registration.

ISO 14000 & Environment

International ISO standards facilitate trade, spread knowledge, and share technological advances and good management practices.

Published under the designation of International Standards, ISO standards represent an international consensus on the state of the art in the technology or good practice concerned.

ISO has a multi-faceted approach to meeting the needs of all stakeholders from business, industry, governmental authorities and nongovernmental organizations, as well as consumers, in the field of the environment. ISO has developed:

1. Standards that help organizations to take a proactive approach to managing environmental issues: the ISO 14000 family of environmental management standards which can be implemented in any type of organization in either public or private sectors – from companies to administrations to public utilities.

2. ISO is helping to meet the challenges of climate change with standards for greenhouse gas accounting, verification and emissions trading, and for measuring the carbon footprint of products.

3. ISO develops normative documents to facilitate the fusion of business and environmental goals by encouraging the inclusion of environmental aspects in product design.

4. ISO offers a wide-ranging portfolio of standards for sampling and test methods to deal with specific environmental challenges. It has developed some 570 International Standards for the monitoring of such aspects as the quality of air, water and the soil, as well as noise, radiation, and for controlling the transport of dangerous goods. They also serve in a number of countries as the technical basis for environmental regulations.

Organizations around the world, as well as their stakeholders, are becoming increasingly aware of the need for environmental management, socially responsible behavior, and sustainable growth and development.

Accordingly, as the proactive management of environmental aspects converges with enterprise risk management, corporate governance, and sound operational and financial practices and performance, International Standards are becoming increasingly important for organizations to work towards common and comparable environmental management practices to support the sustainability of their organizations, products, and services.

Furthermore, governments and regulatory bodies are increasingly looking to ISO standards to provide a framework to ensure alignment and consistency both nationally and internationally.

ISO International Standards and related normative documents provide consumers, regulators and organizations in both public and private sectors with environmental tools with the following characteristics:

- Technically credible as ISO standards represent the sum of knowledge of a broad pool of international expertise and stakeholders

- Fulfill stakeholder needs as the ISO standards development process is based on international input and consensus

- Facilitate the development of uniform requirements as the ISO standards development process is built on participation by its national member institutes from all regions of the world

- Promote efficiencies when the same standards are implemented across markets, sectors, and/or jurisdictions

- Support regulatory compliance when the standards are used to meet market and regulatory needs

- Enhance investor confidence because the standards can be used for conformity assessment such as by audit, inspection or certification. This enhances confidence in products, services and systems that can be demonstrated to conform to ISO standards and provides practical support for regulation.

ISO standards developed for Environmental Management covers the following areas:

• Environmental management systems

• Environmental auditing and related environmental investigations

• Environmental performance evaluation

• Environmental labelling

• Life cycle assessment

• Environmental communication

• Environmental aspects of product design and development

• Environmental aspects in product standards

• Terms and definitions

• Greenhouse gas management and related activities

• Measuring the carbon footprint of products.

The ISO 14000 family of standards reflects international consensus on good environmental and business practice that can be applied by organizations all over the world in their specific context. The ISO family of standards includes:

- ISO 14001 is the world’s most recognized framework for environmental management systems (EMS) -that helps organizations to manage better the impact of their activities on the environment and to demonstrate sound environmental management. ISO 14001 has been adopted as a national standard by more than half of the 160 national members of ISO and its use is encouraged by governments around the world.

- ISO 14004, which complements ISO 14001 by providing additional guidance and useful explanations.

- Environmental audits are important tools for assessing whether an EMS is properly implemented and maintained. The auditing standard, ISO 19011, is equally useful for EMS and quality management system audits. It provides guidance on principles of auditing, managing audit programmes, the conduct of audits and on the competence of auditors.

- ISO 14031 provides guidance on how an organization can evaluate its environmental performance. The standard also addresses the selection of suitable performance indicators, so that performance can be assessed against criteria set by management. This information can be used as a basis for internal and external reporting on environmental performance.

- The ISO 14020 series of standards addresses a range of different approaches to environmental labels and declarations, including eco-labels (seals of approval), self-declared environmental claims, and quantified environmental information about products and services.

- ISO 14001 addresses not only the environmental aspects of an organization’s processes, but also those of its products and services. Therefore ISO has developed additional tools to assist in addressing such aspects. Life-cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool for identifying and evaluating the environmental aspects of products and services from the “cradle to the grave”: from the extraction of resource inputs to the eventual disposal of the product or its waste. The ISO 14040 standards give guidelines on the principles and conduct of LCA studies that provide an organization with information on how to reduce the overall environmental impact of its products and services.

- ISO 14064 part 1, 2 and 3 are international greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting and verification standards which provide a set of clear and verifiable requirements to support organizations and proponents of GHG emission reduction projects.

- ISO 14065 complements ISO 14064 by specifying requirements to accredit or recognize organizational bodies that undertake GHG validation or verification using ISO 14064 or other relevant standards or specifications.

- ISO 14063 addresses environmental communication guidelines and examples, helps companies to make the important link to external stakeholders.
