The role and significance of enterprises improving the certification of the three systems: quality, environment, and occupational health and safety!

ISO9001： Quality Management System , specifically targeting enterprise quality management, preferred for bidding, and required by many major clients.

ISO14001： Environmental Management System , focusing on the enterprise's production environment, pollution discharge, energy saving, and environmental protection; passing this means the enterprise has achieved the concept of green energy saving and environmental protection.

ISO45001： Occupational Health and Safety Management System , focusing on employee health and safety; passing this indicates the enterprise has improved welfare, employee insurance, and safety precautions.

1. Implementing ISO standards enables enterprises to save energy and reduce consumption, optimize costs, and improve corporate image.

2. Strengthen quality management, improve enterprise efficiency; enhance customer confidence, and expand market share.

3. Obtaining ISO certification has become a passport to break international green barriers and enter European and American markets, gradually becoming one of the essential conditions for organizations to conduct production, business activities, and trade.

4. Optimize internal quality structure management, saving effort and costs in production service management audits across processes.

5. Always remain undefeated in product quality competition, beneficial for international economic cooperation and technical exchanges.

6. Mandatory bonus points in bidding, striving for more development opportunities.

The so-called "competition" is competition in quality. In today's increasingly fierce market competition, how enterprises improve their own quality is a problem that must be faced. The ISO9001 quality system is a comprehensive quality management system involving all employees, comprehensive control, and continuous improvement, whose core is to meet the customer's explicit or implicit quality requirements as the standard. The documented system it prescribes has strong binding force, running through the entire quality management system process, linking each part closely, supervising and promoting each other. Any disconnection or failure in one part may directly or indirectly affect other departments or parts, even impacting the entire system.

1. Possess independent legal person qualification or be an organization authorized by an independent legal person;

2. Establish a documented management system according to the requirements of the applied system standard;

3. Have operated according to the documented system for more than three months, and before the certification audit, have conducted at least one management review and internal quality system audit as required by the documents.

1. Strengthen quality management, improve enterprise efficiency

Implementing ISO9001 internally allows enterprises to manage quality according to internationally standardized quality systems that have undergone strict audits, truly achieving legalization and scientification, greatly improving work efficiency and product qualification rates, and rapidly enhancing economic and social benefits.

Externally, when customers learn that the supplier manages according to international standards and has obtained ISO9001 quality system certification with regular supervision by certification bodies, they can trust that the enterprise can stably produce qualified or even excellent products, thus confidently signing supply contracts and expanding market share.

2. Obtained the "passport" for international trade

Many countries set various trade barriers to protect their interests, including tariff and non-tariff barriers. Non-tariff barriers mainly refer to technical barriers, especially product quality certification and ISO9001 quality system certification barriers. Particularly within the "World Trade Organization," member countries have mutually eliminated tariff barriers, so obtaining certification is the main way to remove trade barriers.

3. Saves effort and costs of second-party audits

In modern trade practice, second-party audits have become routine, but their significant drawbacks have gradually been discovered:

On one hand, a supplier usually supplies many buyers, and second-party audits undoubtedly bring a heavy burden to the supplier;
On the other hand, the other party also pays considerable fees, sometimes spending money without achieving the expected purpose. Only ISO9001 certification can eliminate such drawbacks.

Because after the first-party manufacturer applies for and obtains third-party ISO9001 certification, many second parties no longer need to audit the first party, saving effort and costs for both. Also, if the enterprise applies for product certifications like UL or CE after obtaining ISO9001 certification, it can save the certification body's repeated audits of the enterprise's quality management system.

4. Remain undefeated in product quality competition

The main means of international trade competition are price competition and quality competition. Low-price sales not only sharply reduce profits but may also be subject to trade sanctions if considered dumping, so price competition is increasingly undesirable.

Since the 1970s, quality competition has become the main means of international trade competition. Many countries regard raising quality requirements for imported goods as an important measure of trade protectionism. Implementing ISO9000 international standardized quality management can stably improve product quality, enabling enterprises to remain undefeated in product quality competition.

5. Effectively avoid product liability

In practice of enforcing product quality laws, due to increasing complaints and complex accident causes, liability investigations have become stricter. Especially in recent years, developed countries have shifted from "fault liability" to "strict liability," imposing stricter safety requirements on manufacturers.

6. Beneficial to international economic cooperation and technical exchanges

According to international economic cooperation and technical exchange practices, cooperating parties must have a common language, unified understanding, and shared norms regarding product (including service) quality to cooperate and communicate. ISO9001 quality management system certification provides such a responsibility, facilitating rapid agreement between parties.

7. Beneficial to improving the enterprise's self-improvement ability

For enterprises starting from a low baseline, implementing ISO9001 may be a tough transformation. If the enterprise focuses on substantive effects during implementation and relies on its own strength to digest and explore, it will gain a valuable ability for self-improvement and stable enhancement.
