ISO 9001:2015 is the world's most widely adopted standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS), providing a proven framework for organizations to consistently meet customer, regulatory, and business requirements while driving continual improvement. Applicable to organizations of all sizes and industries, it supports the establishment of disciplined, process-based management systems aligned to strategic objectives.
In 2024, ISO introduced amendments to ISO 9001:2015 to address climate change considerations. Organizations are now expected to determine whether climate change is relevant to their context and stakeholders, strengthening the integration of quality management with sustainability and risk management expectations.
Built on core principles such as customer focus, leadership, process approach, risk-based thinking, and evidence-based decision making, ISO 9001:2015 helps organizations manage risks and opportunities, enhance performance, and improve organizational resilience. This includes evaluating climate-related risks where applicable, ensuring quality, compliance, and sustainability are addressed in a coherent manner.
This ISO 9001:2015 Awareness PPT is designed for management, employees, new hires, and potential auditees. It provides a clear, practical understanding of the standard, its benefits, certification and audit processes, and key considerations for audit readiness. The presentation also serves as a valuable supplement for QMS professionals and internal auditor training, supporting effective and up-to-date QMS implementation.
