From the May 2020 issue of HealthCare Business News magazine
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is a third-party, non-government, international organization that develops standards and practices to ensure the quality, efficiency, and consistency of a company. Their standards provide guidelines and requirements that ensure all processes and services of a company are optimal and customer-centric. The most widely-used certification is ISO 9001 - Quality Management System, which integrates a system of principles and actions into the existing business model. This system focuses on eight main principles: customer focus, leadership, the involvement of people, process approach, system approach to management, continual improvement, factual approach to decision making, and mutually beneficial supplier relationships.

If an organization is ISO 9001 Certified, this means they have met the requirements laid out in the ISO 9001 guidelines, as well as outline and follow an effective quality management system. They also must identify areas for improvement and actively pursue betterment. The current standard certification guidelines of ISO 9001 is ISO 9001:2015.

Many industries implement ISO guidelines to improve the quality of their products, services, and systems. Companies and even entire industries are beginning to require ISO 9001 certification from vendors or contractors as a prerequisite for doing business. It is crucial to interact with a company that has been carefully vetted by a third party and strives to improve on specific areas. Certified organizations are regularly audited to ensure they are actively following best practices and consistently delivering the best products and services.

In addition, companies that are ISO certified record higher internal efficiency, which enables them to achieve better operational capacity and fewer mistakes, both of which result in a better product or service for the consumer. When it comes to servicing life-saving equipment, all operations must run smoothly and effectively with as few mistakes as possible. You want your Biomed service to come from an organization with the highest possible standards of quality and excellence, and ISO certification is that benchmark.
