ISO 9001 Certification Consultants
'After much time spent enquiring with different companies I finally choose UKICM to support me through my organisation's ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management process. It was a breath of fresh air to work along side a company that did exactly what it said it would do. The documentation they produced for us was of the highest standard with a service second to none. All communications were clear and friendly and it took less time than was originally quoted.
Having been through this process in the past with another company and speaking with many others I believe that UKICM offer the best like-for-like services available.'

- ISO 9001 is the principal internationally recognised standard for Quality Management Systems and can be implemented in any type of business.
- ISO 9001 dates back to the early 1960s when it was developed by the defence industry to ensure the highest possible control over that very sensitive trade.
- The first version of the standard was launched in the UK during the 1970s and was originally known as BS5750.
- Today's version, known as BS EN ISO 9001:2008, places more emphasis on customer feedback and the processes of management.
