ISO 9001 standard

Jul 16, 2025 Audit

What exactly does the ISO 9001 standard entail?

As an organization, you naturally want to guarantee the quality of your products or services. The ISO 9001 standard for quality management was developed for this purpose. We are happy to explain exactly what this standard entails, what its advantages are, and how you can obtain ISO 9001 certification with DEKRA.

What is ISO 9001?

ISO 9001 is an international standard for an organization's quality management system (QMS). Many organizations use the standard as a tool to develop, implement, and improve their QMS. The International Organization for Standardization ( ISO ) manages the ISO 9001 standard, which is periodically revised to incorporate new insights. The current version of the standard, ISO 9001:2015 , will be revised in 2026.
An external or internal audit allows you to assess whether your organization has a well-functioning quality management system. A certification body such as DEKRA checks whether you comply with the ISO 9001 standard. ISO 9001 certification is not only a quality tool, but also offers strategic advantages, such as insight into the quality management level of your organization.
