The team here at ISO Accelerator recently helped a UK-based heating company to obtain ISO 9001:2015 certification.
ISO 9001 certification helps businesses to improve the quality and efficiency of their work.

If you run a small or medium-sized business, you may have heard of ISO 9001 certification without being entirely sure what the point of it is. Is it just another badge? More paperwork? Something only large companies need?
The short answer is no. ISO 9001 is designed to help organisations work better, deliver more consistent results and achieve greater customer satisfaction.
With a new edition of ISO 9001 arriving this year, many certified organisations are asking the same questions: what's changing, and what do we need to do about it?

The current version of ISO 9001 (known as ISO 9001:2015) is due to be replaced very soon. To be more specific, the revised standard is scheduled for publication on 16th September 2026.
A new Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) was released to ISO/TC 176/SC 2 members for ballot in May 2026. The ballot closed in July, and in August, it was announced that the FDIS had been approved with "overwhelming international support".
While the new standard has not been rolled out yet, we now have a pretty good idea of what the ISO 9001 revision will look like.
As you may remember, ISO Accelerator was the match sponsor for the Sussex Girls' Under-16s Challenge Cup Final earlier in 2025. Bognor Regis Town won 4-1 on the day, and very excitingly, one of those four Bognor goals has now been nominated for 'Goal of the Season'!
Lexie Peattie's smashing strike is the second goal featured in the video below. We want to support the Bognor girls in any way we can, so if you're reading this, we strongly encourage you to visit sussexfa.com and cast your vote for Goal 2 - Lexie Peattie!
