Keeping a close eye on ISO standards can eat up a lot of your time - which isn't ideal when you're trying to focus on growing your business. Here at ISO Accelerator, we work hard to ensure that we're constantly up to date with the latest version of each standard, giving you one less thing to worry about.

Our customers occasionally ask us how we're able to stay on top of all the latest ISO changes. We'd like to shed some light on that subject today.

How do we keep up with developments and changes in ISO standards?

In order to demonstrate our commitment to being at the forefront of the development of international standards, we decided it was important for ISO Accelerator to become a member of one of ISO's in-country representatives.

Since ISO Accelerator is a global company, we then had to determine which national standards body we wanted to join. We came to the conclusion that, because our international headquarters are located in the United Kingdom, BSI - ISO's member body in the UK - would be the best fit for us.

How does BSI membership benefit our customers?

ISO Accelerator's BSI membership demonstrates that we are:

• Committed to high standards
• Committed to performing better
• Committed to delivering excellence

But beyond that, our BSI membership also ensures that whenever standards like ISO 9001 are updated, we are among the first to hear about it.

Why don't we just become an ISO member?

ISO is a global network of national standards bodies. There is only one member per country and each member represents ISO in its home country. It is important to understand that individuals and companies cannot become ISO members.

If you would like to benefit from our BSI membership and join one of the world's leading online certification companies, please contact ISO Accelerator to find out more about our remote ISO certification services.

ISO 9001 isn't just for big organisations with lots of different departments. Small businesses can also benefit from implementing a quality management system (QMS) and achieving ISO 9001 certification.

Related: What Is ISO 9001?

If you run a small business (i.e. one with fewer than 50 employees and a turnover under £10 million), obtaining ISO certifications can seem like a daunting and expensive process. However, depending on your current systems, implementing a quality management system with an ISO 9001 certification can actually be rather inexpensive and requires little documentation and maintenance.

Benefits of ISO 9001 for Small Businesses

An ISO 9001 certification can benefit you and your company in a number of ways…

• Better work efficiency

A quality management system that meets ISO standards will provide your staff with a common, logical system that will in turn help your business to achieve continuous improvement and reduce waste.

Once your QMS has been implemented, it will help to ensure that all of your work has the maximum possible impact as well as increasing your company’s efficiency, productivity and cost savings.

• Happier customers

More effective operations means happier customers! Implementing and adhering to an ISO 9001-compliant QMS will help you to deliver a better service to the people who keep your business running.

Plus, ISO 9001 is recognised worldwide and so confirms to any potential customers that you have put in maximum effort to enhance your systems and meet your existing customers’ needs, building trust in your company.

• Opening new doors

By using a QMS to review and improve your business’ systems, you will be able to ensure a high level of effectiveness and customer satisfaction. This in turn will provide opportunities for orders and increased profitability.

After all, many businesses only work with ISO 9001 certified suppliers, so depending on what sector you're in, achieving this certification can enable you to take on a whole host of new clients.

ISO Accelerator can help you to get certified quickly. Our remote ISO 9001 certification service is delivered entirely online, which means no time-consuming consultation sessions and no need for us to visit your premises.
