ISO 9001:2000
What is ISO 9001:2000?
ISO 9001:2000 was developed by the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO). ISO is made
up of representatives
from over 90 countries, including the United States,
who work cooperatively to establishvarious types
of universal standards for businesses to follow
in their operations. The ISO 9001:2000 standards are
designedto help companies set up quality systems
for the design, development, production, installation,
testing, inspection, and servicing of products.
What does it take to become ISO 9001:2000 Certified?
One of the biggest requirements of the ISO certification
is that Teledyne Tekmar must prepare documentation
pertaining to our quality system. Through the preparation
of this documentation we have had the opportunity
to evaluate our current operating methods, clearly
identify where we could improve these methods, and
create a strategic plan for the best way to carry
out our processes. ISO Certification is not a one-time
analysis. To maintain our certification, we continuously
conduct internal audits of all our operating processes
to not only ensure we remain consistent in our practices,
but to also pass periodic external audits by our
registrar, Det Norske Veritas (DNV).
Why is Teledyne Tekmar's ISO 9001:2000 Certification
important to me?
Becoming ISO 9001:2000 Certified is no easy task. Because
we are certified, you know that we set up a quality
system according to requirements set through the
ISO 9001:2000 standard. Fulfilling these requirements
means we are constantly striving to produce top-quality
products and services.
