TS ISO 9001

TS ISO 9001 is a quality system standard for situations where a supplier must demonstrate competence in product design and supply. It focuses on assurance across the full chain of activities, from design through production, installation and servicing, rather than treating quality as a final inspection issue.

What this quality assurance model is meant to control

The central aim is prevention of nonconformities through an organised quality system. In general technical terms, this means defining how responsibilities are managed, how work is planned, and how outputs are kept consistent with requirements at each stage. The concept is process-based: quality is built into the organisation’s operations instead of being added only at the end.

Why design, production and service are linked

Design determines the product’s intended characteristics; production realises those characteristics in a repeatable way; installation and servicing support correct use, commissioning, maintenance and continued performance over time. The standard addresses the need for a single assurance model that spans those linked activities, so that quality is managed as an integrated system rather than as separate and disconnected checks.

• Quality system requirements for cases where supplier capability must be demonstrated
• Prevention of nonconformities across design-to-service activities
• A process-based approach intended to support customer satisfaction
