ISO9000 is a standard created by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) in 1987. ISO9001, developed by the ISO/Tc176 Technical Committee on Quality Management and Quality Assurance, confirms an organisation's capability to supply products that fulfill customer and regulatory requirements. Its goal is to enhance customer satisfaction. With the expansion of international trade and the commodity economy, it has become crucial to enhance product credibility, eliminate technical trade barriers, and safeguard the rights and interests of producers, distributors, consumers, and other stakeholders. Third party certification is an independent, science-based assessment of product quality and enterprise practices, ensuring that economic interests do not influence the process. It reduces duplication of testing and enables effective quality assessment and supervision. As a customer of The Basis Supply Side Quality System Audit, enterprises can ensure they have the capability to meet the technical requirements of the products they order.
ISO 9001:2008 is the most recent quality management system standard introduced by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), encompassing the latest concepts of modern management science. This standard is particularly relevant for organisations of different types and industries. ISO 9001:2008 offers organisations a practical and systematic approach to managing their quality activities. The customer-centric concept is reflected in every element of the standard, ensuring that products and businesses can be managed according to their quality standards. The standard includes measures to sustainably meet customer expectations and achieve continuously satisfied customers.
The <> specification, also known as the 'Engineering Construction Enterprise Quality Management Specification,' aims to strengthen quality management within engineering construction enterprises. It standardises the construction process from project bidding and signing of contracts to site surveys, construction drawings, design, preparation of work instructions, and the management of personnel, machinery, and materials on-site. The specification also covers construction process management, inspection, internal acceptance, completion acceptance, and transfer of files to the construction enterprise staff. Delivery and acceptance, personnel responsible for file transfer shall leave the site upon completion. Thereafter, warranty services shall be provided, following a series of processes and drafting standards. The purpose of these measures is to promote the full implementation of GB/T50430 construction regulations, to further strengthen and implement quality responsibility across the company, enhancing self-discipline and quality management, and promoting the scientific, standardized and legal development of enterprise quality management.
In order to enhance the quality management standards of building construction companies and deliver quality buildings to the community, the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the State and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development have decided to implement the 'Code for Quality Management of Engineering and Construction Enterprises' (GB/T50430-2007) for quality management system certification in the construction industry. This move aims to meet the demand for professional quality management practices in the field of building construction. The certificate must be marked 'certification.' Engineering construction firms must obtain a certification certificate indicating that they have met the standards of GB/T19001-2008/ISO9001:2008 and GB/T50430-2007.
ISO 14001 is the label for the certification of an environmental management system, while the ISO 14000 series of standards are environmental management system standards created by the International Organisation for Standardisation. The ISO 14000 series comprises of environmental management system standards designed and crafted by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). It is drafted in response to the growing global environmental pollution and ecological damage, as well as the depletion of the ozone layer, the escalation of global warming, the degradation of biodiversity, and other significant environmental issues that pose a threat to the future survival and growth of humanity. This initiative conforms to the international environmental protection standards and the requisite for the development of international economic trade.
ISO 14000 is a set of worldwide guidelines for environmental management put forth by Technical Committee 207 (TC207) of the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) since 1993. These guidelines consist of various research fields within international environmental management, such as Environmental Management System (EMS), Environmental Management System Audit (EA), Environmental Labeling (EL), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Environmental Performance Evaluation (EPE), Terminology, and Definition (T&D), among others. The OHSAS18000 series of standards is a key area of research and practice for international environmental management. These standards offer unified and consistent environmental management systems and international product standards, as well as rigorous and standardised auditing and certification methods to governments and organisations alike.
The OHSAS18000 series, launched jointly by the British Standards Institution (BSI), Det Norske Veritas (DNV), and 13 other organizations in 1999, acts as a quasi-international standard since an equivalent has not yet been developed in the current ISO.
Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSAS18001) is a management system standard applicable to any organization concerned about the occupational health and safety of its employees. Its aim is to reduce and prevent accidents, damage to the environment, and loss of life, property, and time through effective management.
The OHSAS 18001 Working Group released the updated standard, OHSAS 18001:2007, on 2nd July 2007.
