ISO 9001 – Generic Quality Management System
WHAT IS IT?
ISO 9001 is a standard published by the International Organization for Standardization that tries to define universal rules for how a company can manage quality.
WHO IS IT FOR?
ISO 9001 is generic, and can be used by any type of company wanting to standardize its Quality Management System to align with international practices.
WHY DO WE NEED IT?
ISO 9001 is often demanded by customers as a requirement to do business with them. It is also used to help develop a mature Quality Management System intended to improve the company, regardless of customer demands.
OXEBRIDGE’S ROLE?
Oxebridge provides consulting and implementation of ISO 9001 for companies that want to implement the standard. Oxebridge only helps with implementation, and does not provide certification.
HOW MUCH IS IT?
Certification costs are determined by the Certification Body, but average about $1,300 per audit day. The number of audit days is based on employee count and other factors, per IAF MD5. Oxebridge’s implementation costs are discussed below.
HOW LONG?
Oxebridge can provide the implementation portion in as little as 4o working days (two months). The Certification Body audit then takes a few days, but the final certificate may not be received until a month later.
WHERE DO I BUY IT?
The ISO 9001 standard is available for sale by ISO at www.iso.ch. It may be available through national standards bodies at lower prices, however.
WHAT IS CERTIFICATION?
A company that implements the standard can then obtain “ISO 9001 certification” by undergoing an audit by an accredited Certification Body. After a successful audit, the company receives an internationally-recognized certificate attesting that the Quality Management System conforms to ISO 9001.

On-Site Option
Oxebridge still provides traditional on-site Rapid ISO 9001 Implementation, using its three-phase approach. This typically involves three on-site visits, and thus incurs expenses for hotel, airfare and ground transportation. (Oxebridge does not charge for meals, travel time, or any other minor expenses.) The program includes development of custom QMS documentation, internal auditor training, customized all-hands training, a full round of internal QMS audits, management review, and other required steps to get you ready for third-party certification. This also includes help in closing any initial certification audit findings at no additional charge.
