ISO 9001 Certification

ISO 9001 Standard

DAS supports organisations in implementing ISO 9001 and other management system standards to help improve quality, strengthen processes, and enhance customer satisfaction.

🌍 ISO 9001 Standard

ISO 9001 provides a globally recognised framework for a Quality Management System (QMS) that can be applied to any organisation, regardless of size, type, or sector.

It is widely used by public and private organisations, including non-governmental bodies, to:

  • 🔹 Improve efficiency and consistency
  • 🔹 Strengthen stakeholder confidence
  • 🔹 Align internal processes towards customer satisfaction

The extent of these benefits depends on how effectively the organisation implements and maintains the system.
