The ISO 9001 requirement standard has a process-orientated structure and emphasizes on continual improvement as an important step to enhance quality management system ( QMS ). It also has an emphasis on the role of top management, which includes its commitment to the development and improvement of the QMS, consideration of legal and regulatory requirements, and establishment of measurable objectives at relevant functions and levels, e.g. monitor customer satisfaction as a measure of system performance
ISO 14001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for an effective environmental management system (EMS). It provides a framework that an organization can follow, rather than establishing environmental performance requirements. Part of the ISO 14000 family of standards on environmental management, ISO 14001 is a voluntary standard that organizations can certify to. Integrating it with other management systems standards, most commonly ISO 9001, can further assist in accomplishing organizational goals. The International Organization of Standardization (ISO) defines an environmental management system as “part of the management system used to manage environmental aspects, fulfil compliance obligations, and address risks and opportunities.” The framework in the ISO 14001 standard can be used within a plan-do-check-act (PDCA) approach to continuous improvement.
ISO 22000 specifies requirements for a food safety management system where an organisation in the food chain needs to demonstrate its ability to control food safety hazards in order to ensure that food is safe at the time of human consumption. It is applicable to all organisations, regardless of size, which are involved in any aspect of the food chain and want to implement systems that consistently provide safe products. The means of meeting any requirements of ISO 22000 can be accomplished through the use of internal and/or external resources.
HACCP is a food safety and risk assessment plan that was originally developed in the 1960’s by NASA and a group of food safety specialists. HACCP is a preventative system. It focuses on potential physical, chemical and biological hazards that could occur during the food manufacturing process and make the end product unsafe. HACCP has seven principles for implementation: conducting hazard analysis, determining critical control points, and establishing certain standards and procedures based on those hazards and control points.
It is highly critical for companies to provide safe working environment and protect the safety of their workforce as well as the general public. The implementation of OHSAS : 2007 ( Occupational Health & Safety Management System ) is a solution to control the effect to the risk of danger that may arise from its activities. The effective system of OHSAS 18001 : 2007 has been proved fruitful for the companies that have implemented the system.
ISO 50001 is based on the management system model of continual improvement also used for other well-known standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001. This makes it easier for organizations to integrate energy management into their overall efforts to improve quality and environmental management. ISO 50001:2011 provides a framework of requirements for organizations to: Develop a policy for more efficient use of energy, Fix targets and objectives to meet the policy, Use data to better understand and make decisions about energy use, Measure the results, Review how well the policy works, and Continually improve energy management.
FSSC 22000 is a new food safety certification scheme based on the existing internationally recognized standard ISO 22000 and ISO TS 22002, specifically targeted at the food manufacturing sector. Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), which is the most influential interest group for food retail companies, established a widely accepted set of criteria to define the food safety certification schemes suitability for the whole food industry
ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (also known as ISO27001) is the international standard that sets out the specification for an information security management system (ISMS). Its best-practice approach helps organisations manage their information security by addressing people and processes as well as technology. Part of the ISO 27000 series of information security standards, ISO 27001 is a framework that helps organizations “establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and continually improve an ISMS”.
An integrated management system (IMS) combines multiple management system standards to which an organization is registered. The management systems are developed, implemented, and maintained via one system with processes that cover each standard’s requirements. Most management system standards, including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001 : 2018, ISO 50001 : 2018, ISO 22000 : 2018 and ISO 27001 : 2013, adopted the Annex SL framework. Annex SL, developed by ISO, is an underlying framework designed to provide a standardized and consistent approach to implementation, ongoing maintenance, and continual improvement of a management system.
ISO 13485 is a series of ISO standards for medical devices or medical devices for manufacturers and service providers of medical devices. ISO 13485 framework to meet and demonstrate compliance with medical devices to quality standards and regulations. The goal of ISO 13485 is to produce a safe medical device production process for customers. Through the quality standard process, including the consistency of design, development, production, installation, and delivery of medical devices to direct customers or distributors. Through ISO 13485 prevent medical devices as well as can be applied. ISO 13485 is the International Standard which outlines requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS) for Medical Devices. Developing and deploying a QMS that meets the requirements of this standard is a critical step in getting market authorization for a medical device in many global markets.
Greenhouse gases, or GHGs, are compound gases that trap heat or longwave radiation in the atmosphere. Their presence in the atmosphere makes the Earth’s surface warmer. Sunlight or shortwave radiation easily passes through these gases and the atmosphere. In selecting or developing an approach for project GHG emissions assessment, the aim should be to deliver a robust, appropriate and consistent assessment. Good practice to this starts with a framework of five basic steps that a GHG emissions assessment incorporate
